Call for Papers:

The role of acoustic salience of phonetic contrasts has long been
acknowledged as conditioning the types of contrasts observed in the
world’s languages (e.g., Liljencrants and Lindblom, 1972; Ohala,
1996). This appeal to acoustics in explaining patterns in sound
systems has also been applied to patterns in developmental speech
perception (e.g., Burnham, 1986; Liu and Kager, 2014; Narayan et al.,
2010). Pressures driven by the acoustic realization of phones are
viewed as affecting the nature of phonologies as well as the
directions of change. The goal of this Special Issue is to bring
together a variety of research working within the broader exegetical
framework of acoustic contributions to phonological patterning both
within/across languages and individuals. How might the acoustic
peculiarities of phonetic contrasts contribute to their realization in
phonologies, their acquisition, or variation and change? We invite
research that either supplements or challenges any of these issues
from either synchronic or diachronic positions, with data from
understudied languages being particularly welcome.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors
initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 400–600 words
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the guest
editors (chandann at yorku.ca). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest
editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of
the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind
peer-review.
