Submitted a paper to #Interspeech2026 and got rejected (WA-WA-WA). It’s pretty disheartening, so I’m posting this in case it helps other rejected authors feel a little less alone :)

Is the International Linguistic Society (ExLing) predatory?
I’ve been digging into the Phonetics 2025 conference recently held in Hong Kong and what I found is deeply concerning.
This may be a high-dollar scam targeting linguistics researchers and departments.

This is probably just a very expensive conference model.
But when you see such high-profile names on the board, you expect more involvement and support from the organizer.
The local team isn't to blame as they are a victim too.

1/ This project is looking for 40,000 Cantonese-native participants to work a simple word association game. 我哋想揾大概 40000 個粵語母語者做一個好簡單嘅詞彙聯想遊戲。

Want to learn Cantonese? TypeDuck 1.2 introduces a new Jyutping layout with Voice Feedback. It's a bit small for iPhone SE (as shown in the video) but works well on iPads and newer models.
(The QWERTY and Numpad layouts are still available.)

I contributed a chapter titled "Ideologically Driven Divergence in Cantonese Vernacular Writing Practices" to J-F Dupré's forthcoming book "The Politics of Language in Hong Kong", releasing Dec 2024. It is part of a new book series on Hong Kong research.
