| | We would like to announce the Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Vocal Accommodation
in Speech Communication in Journal of Phonetics, co-edited by Jennifer Pardo, Elisa
Pellegrino, Volker Dellwo and Bernd Möbius.
We especially invite contributions which:
- examine and ideally compare instances of vocal accommodation in human-human and
human-computer interactions according to their underlying mechanism (e.g. automatic
perception production link) and social functions (e.g. to signal social closeness or
distance; to become more intelligible; to sound dominant, trustworthy or attractive);
- investigate the effect of task-specific and talker-specific characteristics (gender,
age, personality, linguistic and cultural background, role in interaction) in degree and
direction of convergence towards human and computer interlocutors;
- integrate articulatory and/or perceptual/neurocognitive/multimodal data to the analysis
of vocal accommodation in interactive and non-interactive speech tasks;
- investigate the contribution of short/long-term accommodation in human-human and
human-computer interactions to the diffusion of linguistic innovation and ultimately
language variation and change;
- explore the implications of accommodation for human and machine speaker recognition,
language learning technologies, and speech rehabilitation.
Important Dates and Timeline
