Hej alla (svenskspråkiga) kollegor inom fonetikvärlden!
Delta gärna i vår studie (se nedan) och sprid gärna till vänner och familj! Gärna snabbt; vi sitter på en större restpost biobiljetter som vi gärna vill bli av med 😉
(Detta är ett samarbete med Johan Frid och David House.)

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.
Följande länk innehåller förklaringar samt själva experimentet:
http://130.239.81.130:7072/GAperc/video2024.html
Som tack för ditt deltagande får du 1 biobiljett till Filmstaden (OBS: biljetten går ut den 6 februari).
Om du vill delta i studien är det bara att följa länken ovan. Men meddela oss via e-post (Gilbert.Ambrazaitis(a)lnu.se<mailto:Gilbert.Ambrazaitis@lnu.se>) efteråt att du har deltagit och när du gjorde det (dag och ca klockslag för när du började), om du vill ha en biobiljett; så får du den skickad i form av en kod till din e-postadress.
Tack för din hjälp!

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!

Invitation to participate in the experiment “Vad säger rösten om talaren? – Ett perceptionstest”
You are being invited to participate in an experiment, part of a study on how listeners perceive a character’s physical, social, and psychological features based on their vocal characteristics.
This is a listening experiment. To participate, you must be a native Swedish speaker, between 20 and 50 years old. The experiment is online, in Swedish, and takes around 20 minutes to complete. You will be asked to give some background information on yourself to help analyse the data we collect. That information will not be shared with outside parties, and all the data collected will be anonymized.
There is no compensation for participating in this study. However, your participation will be a valuable addition to our research on voice and its role in media and social interaction.
If you are interested in taking part in the experiment, you can access it at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/vo_se, where you will find additional information and instructions. Your participation is voluntary, and if you change your mind, you are free to quit the experiment at any point with no penalty.
You are also welcome to share the experiment with family, friends, and anyone you think would be interested in answering it.
If you have any questions, you can reach me at arcrochiquia(a)gmail.com<mailto:arcrochiquia@gmail.com>
Thank you!

Welcome to Fonetik 2024
The phoneticians at Stockholm University invite you to the 34th edition of the annual phonetics conference Fonetik 2024. The conference will be held at Stockholm University Albano Campus June 3–5, 2024, and include a special seminar to celebrate the 90th birthday of Professor Björn Lindblom.
Fonetik 2024 will be an onsite meeting only, with absolutely no hybrid options. But please remember that Stockholm in early June can be very nice!
Pre-register today!<https://su.powerinit.com/Data/Event/EventTemplates/2602/?EventId=2937>
<https://su.powerinit.com/Data/Event/EventTemplates/2602/?EventId=2930>
Check out the conference website
We look forward to seeing you in June
Mattias Heldner & colleagues
-----
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.
Important dates
Preliminary registration: 9th February-15th March 2024<https://su.powerinit.com/Data/Event/EventTemplates/2602/?EventId=2937>
Paper Submission Deadline: 19th May 2024
Registration open: 16th March-19th May 2024
