The 5th International Symposium on Monolingual and Bilingual Speech (ISMBS 2025) hosts original research on the acquisition and use of first language, second language, additional language, bilingual/multilingual, and dialectal/multidialectal speech, child and adult, typical and atypical. The Symposium encourages a multidisciplinary exchange of ideas in applied linguistics across phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sign language, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, neurolinguistics, educational linguistics, sociolinguistics, speech pathology, and application of new technologies.
Theoretical, experimental, qualitative, observational, computational, and clinical contributions are welcome.

It has also convened three more times in the past (2019, 2017, 2015) at the Grand Arsenali of the city of Chania on the island of Crete, Greece. The inaugural symposium in 2015 was co-chaired by Elena Babatsouli and Professor Emeritus David Ingram of Arizona State University and the University of British Columbia.
