SALALS Special Issue on Phonetics and Phonology in Bantu
Volume 33(3), 2015 
Guest Editors: Nancy C. Kula and Maxwell Kadenge 

Contributions are sought for a special issue of the Southern African
Linguistics and Applied Language Studies (SALALS) focusing on Phonetics and
Phonology in Bantu. Papers addressing phonological questions relying on
phonetics, experimentation and/or focusing on areas larger than the segment
including prosody, intonation, phonological knowledge and phonological
processing are particularly sought. This Special Issue aims to showcase recent
research in Bantu phonology contributing to the broader cross-linguistic
interest in the interaction of phonology with phonetics on the one hand, and
with experimentation on the other hand.

The focus on the interaction of phonetics and phonology reflects current
trends in linguistic research and the particular focus on Bantu languages
allows us to evaluate findings that will extend our understanding of the
interaction of phonetics and phonology based on features that are otherwise
not widely attested in the languages that have been the main focus of
research. In this respect the Special Issue will include (i) research on areas
in which Bantu languages are best placed to test particular hypothesis; the
interaction of tone and depressor consonants, tonal variation, the interaction
of tone and intonation, acoustic characteristics of complex segments; and (ii)
research on contemporary issues where Bantu languages will lead to challenges
or extensions of current findings/perspectives in particular on phonological
awareness, tonal processing and the structure of prosodic stems/words.

Submissions that address one or more themes in the broad topic of the Special
Issue are welcome with the deadline for submissions on 31st March 2015.

Queries, expressions of interest and final submissions should be made to: 
Nancy C. Kula, University of Essex: nckula at essex.ac.uk
Maxwell Kadenge, University of the Witwatersrand: maxwell.kadenge at wits.ac.za
