This workshop explores the shift from controlled laboratory recordings to crowdsourced and automatically aligned speech data. Advances in speech technology and annotation tools now enable large-scale phonetic research but raise questions about data reliability, interpretability, and ethics. Alignment errors and variable recording conditions are especially common in spontaneous and heterogeneous data, where they challenge traditional analytical assumptions. Bringing together perspectives from pho

Implicit arguments – participants in an event or relation that are not overtly realized but are nonetheless interpreted and syntactically active – pose persistent challenges for theories of argument structure, linking, and the syntax-semantics interface. Canonical examples include, among others, the unexpressed external argument of passives (The ship was sunk), null internal arguments of certain transitive verbs (Tom already ate), and unsaturated thematic roles in deverbal nominals and adjective
