Call for Papers for a Special Issue in Journal of Phonetics (a shortened
version)

Theme: ''Marking 50 Years of Research on Voice Onset Time and the Voicing
Contrast in the World's Languages'' (edited by Taehong Cho, Gerry Docherty and
D. H. Whalen)

It has been just over a half century since Lisker & Abramson (1964) proposed
an acoustic measure of VOT as a unified means of specifying voicing categories
of stops across languages. Since then, this innovative measure has been
adopted by virtually every experimental phonetic study that has investigated
acoustic characteristics of stop consonants, which has greatly advanced our
understanding of voicing properties of stop consonants and their typology in
the world's languages. In a recent submission as Technical Note to Journal of
Phonetics, Arthur Abramson and D. H. Whalen have provided a retrospective
commentary entitled ''Voice Onset Time (VOT) at 50: Theoretical and practical
issues in measuring voicing distinctions.'' Inspired by this initiative
retrospective on VOT, we will mark the occasion of 50 plus years of VOT in a
special issue of Journal of Phonetics.

This special issue will be devoted to exploring phonetic properties of voicing
contrasts with a view to providing a contemporary lens on various aspects of
voicing contrast of consonants within and across the world's languages from
both theoretical and methodological perspectives, and relevant points of
debate that have endured alongside or as an alternative to VOT. We will
particularly welcome proposals on, though not limited to, one or more of the
following topics: Phonetic properties of voicing contrast of consonants in the
world's languages; Variation in phonetic implementation of phonological
voicing contrast as a function of linguistic structure; Articulatory
mechanisms that may underlie VOT or voicing contrast; Relationship between
voicing contrast and phonation; and Methodological issues on assessing
phonetic properties of voicing contrast. We also welcome contributions
exploring these topics from the perceptual perspective. More broadly, we
welcome contributions that address issues that are related to VOT and voicing
contrast from both theoretical and methodological perspectives as long as they
advance our understanding of voicing contrast in the world's languages in a
theoretically-informed way.
