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!

Hej fonetiker,
En ASV-are här i behov av lite råd - finns det svenska namn på IPA-tecknen?
(Se nedanstående konversation för kontext.)
Lisa Gustavsson på SU tipsade mig att skicka frågan vidare till er.
Varma hälsningar,
Susanne

Hej Susanne,
Så kul att höra från dig!
Jag misstänker att det kanske inte finns vedertagna svenska namn för alla
IPA-symboler, bara de som används för att beskriva svenska språket, gissar
jag. Men jag tror att svaret finns att hämta på fonetiklistan, som når
ganska många fonetiker i Sverige 😊 Kanske har någon fonetiker försökt sig
på en översättning av alla symboler.
Jag är osäker på rätta mejladressen till listan, men du skulle kunna prova
fonetiklistan(a)lists.sunet.se
Bästa hälsningar
Lisa

Hej Lisa,
Jag har en kompis som jobbar med upplösande av ljudböcker, och nu gäller
det en bok med fonetik i. Vi undrar om det finns svenska vedertagna namn på
IPA symbolerna? I IPA-handböckerna kallas de saker som reversed capital R
etc...
Varma hälsningar,
Susanne

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!
