Meeting Description:

This is a satellite workshop for the 6th Phonetics and Phonology in
Europe (PaPE) conference.

Call for Papers:

Speech prosody refers to the suprasegmental aspects of speech,
including intonation, tone, rhythm, stress, and so on. Prosody can be
used, for example, for information structure, lexical contrasts, or to
express questions vs statements.

Languages of the Middle East are traditionally understudied when it
comes to prosody. Research on the languages of the region has shown
some interesting patterns relating to stress and prosodic focus
(Egyptian Arabic (Hellmuth 2011), Jordanian Arabic (de Jong & Zawaydeh
1999)) and the interaction of tonal alignment with syllable structure
(Persian (Sadeghi 2019), Lebanese Arabic (Kelly 2024)).

In this workshop on the prosody of languages of the Middle East
(including Arabic, Persian, Kurdish languages, Turkic languages, etc),
we intend to contribute to the discussion of word-level and
sentence-level prosody in these languages, as well as create a space
to make connections among researchers working on it. We particularly
encourage submissions on lesser studied languages of the region,
including work in progress. We also welcome submissions on the
multilingual aspect of the region and how that may influence prosody.

Submission information:
Deadline: February 1st 2025; notification of acceptance February 28th.
Abstract guidelines: Max. 1 page for the body of the abstract (font
size 11-12) and max. 1 page for figures/references. Please submit your
abstracts to: papeprosodyworkshop at gmail.com
Oral sessions: 10 min talk, 5 mins for Q&A. There will also be a
poster session.
This workshop will be held in a hybrid format so we can accept online
talks. Participation at the workshop requires registration for the
PaPE conference.

Invited speaker: Dr Vahid Sadeghi (Imam Khomeini International
University, Iran)

Panel members:
Dr Baris Kabak (University of Wuerzburg, Germany)
Dr Niamh Kelly (Newcastle University, UK)
Dr Vahid Sadeghi (Imam Khomeini International University, Iran)
