Books available for review

Each fascicle of Phonetica provides a list of the publications that are suggested for review. However, interested people can also make suggestions for books that they would like to review. Please arrange this with Phoentica’s Associate Editor for Book Reviews: Prof. O. Niebuhr, University of Southern Denmark, DK-6400 Sonderborg, Denmark, olni@sdu.dk.

A Book Notice should be 1000–1500 words, i.e. about 4–5 double-spaced pages. A Book Notice should give Phonetica’s readers an idea whether or not it is relevant for them. The primary goal is thus to summarize the book’s contents within a few paragraphs and then to comment on its scientific contribution and targeted readership.

Book Discussions should be 2500–3000 words plus figures, i.e., about 7–11 doublespaced pages. Book Discussions should go beyond a summary of the book’s content, and rather show how this content can connect with ongoing developments, thereby stimulating new ideas, discussions, and research.

Please note that submissions are made through the online submission system of Phonetica: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/phon. Before you submit your manuscripts and in order to learn more about the two types of book reviews, make sure that you read our Instructions for authors and to see the De Gruyter Mouton journal style sheet for further information regarding the proper formatting of your manuscript.
