5-1-4Cf Contribution to a book on interactions in the production, acoustics, and perception of speech and music, DeGruyter Mouton Publishers.
Dear colleagues!
 
Our special session on the relationships between speech and music at the ICPhS in Prague aroused great interest and received a very positive, lasting response. We are therefore very pleased that we can now build on this positive feedback and invite scholars to submit chapter proposals for an edited collection on the intersections and interactions in the production, acoustics, and perception of speech and music – to be published with DeGruyter Mouton in early 2025.
 
Please find the complete Call for Papers with all details in topics and timeline under the following link: https://cloud.newsletter.degruyter.com/Speech%20Music  – or directly via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/cfp/SLM2023 
 
Submission Guidelines
 
1.    Abstract submission
Please submit a 500-word abstract by February 4th, 2024. In your abstract, please clearly state how your work relates to one or more of the above areas of interest as this will help us structure the volume and invite matching reviewers. All abstracts must be in English. Notification of acceptance of your abstract will be sent by February 11th, 2024.
 
2.    Full paper submission
Upon acceptance of your abstract, you are required to submit your full paper by June 30th, 2024 (approx. 8000 words, excluding references). To ensure the scientific quality of the volume, all submitted papers will undergo a thorough peer review process. Each manuscript will be reviewed by one of the volume editors and an external reviewer, likely chosen from the pool of contributing authors. The review will focus on assessing relevance, originality, clarity, adherence to the thematic scope, scientific rigor, contribution to the field, methodology, and overall scientific quality. Authors will be given the opportunity to revise their papers in response to the reviewers’ feedback.
 
We look forward to receiving your contributions, and in the meantime we wish you a happy and healthy pre-Christmas time,
