Proceedings of the 13th International Conference of Nordic Prosody
Proceeding details
Aims and scope
The 13th edition of the Nordic Prosody (NP) conference series is to be proudly hosted by the Centre of Industrial Electronics (CIE) at the University of Southern Denmark, and here on the science campus Alsion, Sonderborg, Denmark. The University of Southern Denmark (SDU) is both the third largest and the third-oldest Danish university. Since the introduction of the ranking systems in 2012, the University of Southern Denmark has consistently been ranked as one of the top 50 young universities in the world by both the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and the QS World University Rankings. The SDU is also among the top 20 universities in Scandinavia. Nordic Prosody conferences take place every 4 years. The first one was in Lund in 1978, organized by Eva Gårding, Gösta Bruce and Robert Bannert. The 12th Nordic Prosody was in 2016 in Trondheim, Norway. The conference series focuses on the forms and functions of prosodic patterns in Nordic languages and in languages spoken around the Baltic Sea. Contributions on all the various aspects of phonetics, phonology, and speech typology are welcome. Papers presenting new corpora, methods, or devices can be equally submitted. We also encourage researchers from neighboring disciplines like (second language) pedagogy, acoustics, human-machine interaction, and voice pathology to submit conference contributions.

Established in 1978, the conference has since been held every three years in one of the Nordic countries, bringing together researchers from phonetics, phonology, linguistics, speech technology, and communication sciences. The series provides a unique interdisciplinary forum for discussing both theoretical and applied aspects of prosody, including its function in perception, production, and speech synthesis, as well as its pedagogical and clinical implications. Typical topics at Nordic Prosody include intonation, stress, rhythm, voice quality, and speech timing across languages and dialects, as well as experimental and computational approaches to prosody. Over the years, the conference has also evolved into an important platform for young researchers and for applied perspectives such as speech training, speech technology, and multimodal communication. The peer-reviewed conference proceedings are regularly published and widely cited within the prosody and speech-science community. |
