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 pre-registered, yet to be pre-registered, and others interested in the upcoming Fonetik 2025 conference!
It was about time, wasn’t it?
We now finally have a (still slightly rudimentary) conference website:
https://lnu.se/en/meet-linnaeus-university/current/events/2025/konferenser/…
More information will be added eventually, but at least it provides paper and abstract templates, accommodation information and a little more already.

Welcome to FONETIK 2025 – Växjö – May 21–23, 2025: Please pre-register now!
It’s (still) about time, isn’t it?
Dear all,
This is a gentle, two-fold reminder:
1. First, for us, the organizing committee, to set-up a conference website, and provide a paper template and other relevant information!
2. Second, for all who are likely to attend, with or without a contribution, to pre-register! If possible, until February 14, 2025 (because our first love will always be phonetics…)
As we haven’t provided any information whatsoever on how to pre-register, and the website is apparently not available yet, we now kindly ask you pre-register by writing to this e-mail: Gilbert.Ambrazaitis(a)lnu.se<mailto:Gilbert.Ambrazaitis@lnu.se>
The conference website is ordered and will hopefully be available very soon. We will send out a new, short notice, when this is the case.
You might also want to start planning potential paper/abstract contributions.
Themes and submissions
The conference covers any aspect of phonetics and speech science. Scientific areas include, but are not limited to: phonetics, phonology, linguistics, computational linguistics, gesture studies, speech and language pathology, pronunciation teaching, 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 who have not yet been introduced to the FONETIK meeting are strongly encouraged!
Two types of submissions are possible: Abstract-only submissions (300 words) and papers (up to 6 pages). As usual, there will be no peer review (enabling a rather late submission deadline), although we will request revisions of formal issues in case of significant deviations from the template.
Important dates (again):
* Pre-register for the conference: February 14, 2025 (Because our first love will always be phonetics)
* Final registration and submission deadline (300-word abstract or 6-page paper): April 21, 2025 (Easter Monday)
We look forward to seeing you in May!
