Subject: Nordic Speech Research Forum is back!
Dear colleagues,
Apologies for possible cross-posting.
We would like to bring to your attention that the Nordic Speech Research Forum is back after a summer break.
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 on varying weekdays and times to test which meeting time would be optimal. The talks (30–40 mins) will be followed by discussion in a relaxed atmosphere.
On Tue, Sept 17, we have an opportunity to listen to Professor Jacques Koreman<https://www.ntnu.edu/employees/jacques.koreman> from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Professor Koreman’s talk is about online pronunciation learning. Please join us and feel free to spread the word!
What? Prof. Jacques Koreman’s talk: Developing L2 pronunciation skills: goals and hurdles for online learning + discussion.
When? Tue, Sept 17 at 16:00–17:00 Finnish time (UTC+3)
Where? Zoom: https://jyufi.zoom.us/j/61656736999
Also, please save the dates for the upcoming talks this autumn and follow the forum’s website at https://jyu.fi/nsrf for updates.

Dear all,
We just posted a Senior Lecturer position in Phonetics at Stockholm University if you’re interested. See https://su.varbi.com/what:job/jobID:769505/where:4/.
In addition, there is a Senior Lecturer in General Linguistics out now: https://su.varbi.com/what:job/jobID:769231/where:4/.
Don’t trust the Sollentuna kommun logo though.
Best,
Mattias Heldner

Welcome to FONETIK 2025 – Växjö – May 21–23, 2025!
It’s about time, isn’t it?
Time, as we all know, is a central dimension in spoken language production and perception—and it is also crucial when planning a conference. After careful consideration, we are thrilled to announce the dates for FONETIK 2025: May 21–23, 2025.
This year’s conference will take place earlier than usual, and we hope the timing works well for everyone. So it is high time to announce FONETIK 2025!
It is also time to broaden the geographical scope of phonetic research in Sweden. We are excited to host FONETIK in one of Sweden’s most challenging cities to pronounce: Växjö!
Might it also be time to put Växjö on the phonetic map of Sweden?
At Linnaeus University, phonetic research is based in the Department of Swedish, primarily through LiLa Lab (the Linnaeus University Language Processing Lab), which was founded in 2019. As of late, a vibrant group of phoneticians has started toassemble here, and we are excited to welcome you into this fold.
We, the phoneticians at Linnaeus University, invite you to join us for the 35th annual FONETIK conference, which will be held at the university campus May 21–23, in a lunch-to-lunch format.
As in previous years, including last year’s event in Stockholm, FONETIK 2025 will be an in-person meeting only, with no hybrid option.
More information, including a conference website and link for (pre-)registration, will be available soon, so stay tuned!
Important dates (tentative):
* Pre-register for the conference: February 14, 2025 (Because our first love will always be phonetics)
* Final registration and submission deadline (abstract or 6-page paper): April 21, 2025 (Easter Monday)
Note: Pre-registration is a FONETIK tradition. Since the deadlines for registration and submission are usually later, optionalpre-registration allows us to estimate attendance early. If you’re likely to attend, with or without a contribution, please consider pre-registering.
We look forward to seeing you in May!
