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!

Välkommen att delta i en språkvetenskaplig studie – enkelt via webben – och gå på bio (senast den 6 februari)!
Att delta i studien tar ca 30 minuter. Det går ut på att titta på ett par videoklipp och bedöma hur starkt orden som sägs är betonade.
OBS: Vi söker endast vuxna deltagare (minst 18 år) som har normal hörsel. Du behöver en dator med minst ”normalstor” skärm (inte mobil eller surfplatta) samt hörlurar för att kunna genomföra testet.
