To this end we will be conducting a workshop with invited speakers who include developers of transcription systems as well as researchers who are using these systems in their investigation and/or developing large prosodically labelled corpora. This workshop is sponsored by the Association for Laboratory Phonology, and ALP members will pay a reduced registration fee. For information on membership, please visit: http://www.labphon.org Call for Papers: We invite submissions of one-page abstracts for a poster session at the workshop. The work should address transcription systems or practices, the development of speech databases related to prosody, and/or the use of prosodic transcription in speech research. Abstract format: 1-page abstract (1 inch margins, single-spaced, and no smaller than 10 pt font) with a second page for figures and references. Submissions should be sent to: Advancing.Prosodic.Transcriptiongmail.com Important Dates: Abstract due date: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Decisions announced: April 1, 2012 Date of Workshop: Monday, July 30, 2012 Inquiries can be sent to the organizers at jscoleillinois.edu or sshufmit.edu.
