Second Call for contributions 
3rd SWIP - Swiss Workshop on Prosody 
Special Theme : PhonoGenres and Speaking Styles 
10-11 September 2014 - University of Geneva 
The SWIP (Swiss Workshop on Prosody) is an annual meeting gathering 
researchers in the field of prosody. After Zurich in 2012, and 
Neuchâtel in 2013, the 3rd SWIP will take place in Geneva on 
10-11 September 2014. For this edition, the special theme is 
PhonoGenres and Speaking Styles. By this event we mark the end 
of the three year FNS research project 'Prosodic and linguistic 
characterisation of speaking styles: semi-automatic approach and 
applications'. 
Phonostylistic prosodic variation, whether regional, social or 
situational, is the object of a growing number of studies. They are 
systematic or isolated, based on phonetic-phonological studies of 
large-scale corpora or on the examination of narrow samples. Approaches 
vary between systematic methodologies and ad hoc procedures. Thus, one 
of the major goals of the conference is to index different approaches 
and to confront their results. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
*PhonoGenres: phonetic-prosodic dimensions; situational, regional, 
communicative, macro- or micro-social variations; comparative analysis 
*speaker-specific behavior: cliché, idiosyncrasy, distinctive features 
*diachronic speaking style variation 
*identification of discourse genres and styles 
*methodologies and tools for corpus processing of speech in general, 
and especially those developed to process the speaking style variation
