1st International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS): Breathing, Pausing, and the Voice.
Website and Contact www.sefos.dk, sefos@sdu.dk Theme SEFOS is dedicated to the physiological patterns, acoustic signals, and communicative functions of breathing, pausing and the voice - in human-human as well as in human-machine interaction. SEFOS aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines, such as phonetics, phonology, psychology, medicine, acoustics, speech technology, and computer linguistics. Location and Venue SEFOS will be held from 1st - 3rd December at the University of Southern Denmark, Campus Sønderborg. Keynote speakers Plinio Barbosa, Department of Linguistics, Unicamp, Campinas, Brazil. 'Stylistic and cross-linguistic differences in the prosodic organization of breathing, stressing, and pausing'

Donna Erickson, Kanazawa Medical University, Kanazawa, Japan / Haskins Laboratories, USA 'Our voice: A multifaceted finely-tuned instrument for any occasion and culture'
Call for papers We invite contributions on all the various aspects of breathing, pausing, and the voice. Reflecting the cross-disciplinary nature of these fields of research, we are particularly pleased about submissions from the entire speech sciences and beyond, i.e., for example, medicine, rhetoric, technology, music, and zoology. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Submissions to SEFOS should be made in the form of extended abstracts, consisting of 2 pages of text plus a third page for (additional) figures and references.
