Journal of Phonetics Special Issue
Integrating phonetics and phonology in the study of linguistic prominence

Stefan Baumann, Francesco Cangemi, Martine Grice (guest editors)
In the last decades of the 20th century, developments in linguistic theory
have questioned the traditional divide between phonetics and phonology.
Alongside studies carried out within the paradigm of Laboratory Phonology,
theoretical phonologists are increasingly paying attention to quantifiable
phonetic data, and at the same time experimental phoneticians are increasingly
embedding their findings in a discussion of phonological categories and
linguistic structure.
One key aspect of linguistic structure that calls for the integration of
phonetics and phonology is the notion of prominence. Prominence can be seen as
a relational property that refers to any unit of speech that somehow ''stands
out'' by virtue of a variety of factors relating to form and function. These
include on the one hand prosodic highlighting and phrasing as they interact
with syntactic structure, and on the other semantic-pragmatic importance and
newsworthiness, as well as discourse-related expectations, the violation of
which can also lead to prominence.

Both the production and perception of prominence are thus affected by a large
number of factors relating to phonetic substance and to phonological form. For
example, prosodic prominence can stem from both continuous manipulation of
phonetic parameters (e.g. fundamental frequency, duration and spectral
properties) and from the choice of phonological categories (e.g. pitch accent
type and phrasing). The aim of the special issue is to provide a platform for
the integration of phonetic and phonological insights into a comprehensive
notion of prominence.

We invite two-page paper proposals on experimental and/or theoretical work on
topics such as:
- Defining prominence in phonetics and phonology
- Perception of prominence (e.g. multimodal perception)
- Production of prominence (e.g. acoustics and articulation)
- Prosodic prominence (e.g. pitch accent types, boundary phenomena)
- Prominence in diachrony (e.g. lexical stress)
- Social value of prominence (e.g. final rise in uptalk)
- Cognitive aspects of prominence (e.g. attention)
- Influence of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects on prosodic
prominence (e.g. focus)

Proposals focusing on the exploration of both the phonetics and the phonology
of prominence will receive special consideration. Two-page paper proposals
should be submitted via email to prominence_jphon at uni-koeln.de. The call for
two-page paper proposals ends December 1, 2017. Authors of selected proposals
will be invited to submit their full papers until March 15, 2018.

Please note that submitted full papers will undergo the regular Journal of
Phonetics review process. Consequently, papers may be rejected if they are not
able to fulfill reviewers' recommendations or are unable to do so within the
required time-frame.

To advance transparency and openness, we encourage full paper submissions to
make all data and analysis code publicly available.
