Aims and scope

The Spoken Language Research (SLR) series aims to embrace complexity and diversity in theory in speech inquiry by welcoming investigation using empirical methods in the speech domains of production, acoustic transmission and perception, and in quantitative computational models which work in practical applications.

The scope of the series covers topics such as:

• Research on tools and methods for spoken language research
• Production and perception of spoken languages associated or not with non-verbal signals (e.g., orofacial movements, hand and body co-gestures)
• Phonetic-related prosodic aspects of speaking styles, including voice quality
• Functional and phonetic perspectives on prosody production and perception
• Models of speech perception and production
• Non-verbal communication (laughs, audible breath signals)
• Pathological speech and clinical phonetics
• Forensic phonetics
• Sociophonetics
• Relations with basic research and applications in industry

SLR will not publish studies that are in the field of Laboratory Phonology. In that case, please, submit to the Studies in Laboratory Phonology (SiLP) series. If you have any doubt on which series to submit a proposal, please, write a message to the chief editors of each series and they will help you.

Proposals

We invite proposals for both monographs and edited volumes comprising: the proposed title, a description of the overall content and aims of the volume and an overview of the volume’s structure (i.e. chapter titles, or titles of papers and authors’ names if any). For edited volumes, editors should prepare their proposals in accordance with the instructions found here: https://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/langsci-press/2017/08/25/workflow-for-edited-volumes.

Proposals should provide short abstracts of each contribution (about 150-200 words per contribution) and the details of the expected timeline, ensuring a satisfactory level of reviewing (see the general Language Science Press review guidelines http://userblogs.fu-berlin.de/langsci-press/2016/02/08/reviewing-of-edited-volumes and indicate which process you would prefer). Your proposal will first be discussed by the editors of the series. If accepted, the proposal proceeds to a full manuscript in accordance with the appropriate review process. Monographs are assessed by at least two reviewers. The proof of edited volumes follows the LSP proofreading guidelines.

Languages

Contributions are welcome in English, French, and Spanish.

Open Science

We strongly encourage authors to make their research data fully available to editors, reviewers, and readers without restrictions wherever possible. Authors are also encouraged to consider the FAIR Data Principles when depositing data, or to share their data via public data repositories, e.g. the CORE repository of Humanities Common, Zenodo, Figshare, or GitHub.
