HSCR 2024

Speech research is a very dynamic field of science, and there is no doubt that its
results have practical applications like speech pathology, speech technology,
education etc. For understanding the recent questions we have to know how we
got here. This volume contains the papers of the Sixth International Workshop
on the History of Speech Communication Research (HSCR 2024). From the
presented studies we can learn about the careers of the great figures in the
history of phonetics, early methodologies, tools and databases, the history of
the understanding and research of a particular phonetic issue or phenomenon,
or even the research characteristics of a major issue over decades. These studies
are important not only from the historical perspective but also in inspiring
the future generation of phoneticians for trying new methods and raising
questions. We recommend the volume for present and future phoneticians,
speech researchers and everybody who is interested in the history of science.
