We had a wonderful conference thanks to the many people involved in it - speakers, chairs, discussants, poster presenters, volunteers and the enthusiastic audience.

Welcome to NINJAL ICPP

　　We are very pleased to announce a NINJAL international conference on phonetics and phonology (ICPP 2011) to be held in Kyoto on December 10-14, 2011.
