Dear colleagues,
Apologies for possible cross-posting.
We would like to bring to your attention the launch of the Nordic Speech Research Forum, a new Nordic webinar series!
The Nordic Speech Research Forum convenes online to hear about and discuss interesting ongoing work in the broad area of speech research. Invited speakers mainly represent Nordic scholars at different career stages. In 2024, we will convene once a month on varying weekdays and times to test which meeting time would be optimal. The talks (30-40 mins) will be followed by free discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.
In the launch, we have an amazing opportunity to listen to Professor Kazuya Saito<http://kazuyasaito.net/>, University College London. Please join us and feel free to spread the word!
What? Prof. Kazuya Saito's talk: Having a good ear promotes second language speech learning: Roles of auditory processing at perceptual, cognitive & motoric levels + discussion.

Themes and submissions
Fonetik 2024 welcomes submissions on any aspect of phonetics and speech science. Scientific areas include, but are not limited to: phonetics, phonology, linguistics, computational linguistics, speech and language pathology, voice research, music and singing, conversation analysis, psychology, cognitive science, speech and language technology, signal processing, machine learning... Submissions by junior researchers, bachelor or master students, and/or researchers that have not yet been introduced to the Fonetik meeting are strongly encouraged!
Seminar to celebrate Björn Lingblom's 90th birthday
As this iteration of the conference coincides with the 90th birthday of Professor emeritus Björn Lindblom, we will also organize a special afternoon seminar to celebrate! Björn is the former head of the Stockholm University Department of Linguistics and founder of the Phonetics Laboratory. He has served as tutor, colleague, advisor, and friend to generations of phonetics students. We encourage presenters to submit contributions toward this special seminar on themes pertinent to central themes of Björn’s research. These topics include speech production, coarticulation, phonological development, evolution of speech, phonetic systems, and phonological universals – and many others. These contributions will be included as part of the general conference proceedings.
Language for presentation
The contributions at Fonetik deal with Swedish, Nordic and other languages, and the meeting is often visited by researchers from neighbouring countries and occasionally by more long-distance participants. The language for presentations and plenary discussions has been English since the mid-10s, which provides better opportunities for both visitors and doctoral students from other language environments to participate.
Social events
Conference participants are invited to a reception on Monday evening, June 3rd, at the conference site, and to a dinner on Tuesday evening, close to the campus area.
