We are looking at sonority patterns at the syllable/word level in lesser reported languages to examine how well the SSP and sonority hierarchy hold up. Steve Parker's interesting 2012 collection did not include many languages other than English. We already have contributions for Zulu and Putonghua. The aim is either to publish a book in the Multilingual Matters series 'Communication Disorders across Languages', or a special issue of the journal 'Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics'. It is preferred if contributors could report data from disordered speech as well as typical speech, although it is realized this may not always be available.

As a first step, please contact me with a short CV and a brief abstract, noting the language(s) to be covered and the data source and analyses to be undertaken. We are not intending to cover languages that have been well-reported in the sonority literature.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
