This year, we especially invite submissions concentrating on variation and differences both at the level of the community and that of the individual. Speech Prosody, the biennial meeting of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/speechprosody2010.illinois.edu\/sprosig.php\">Speech Prosody Special Interest Group (SProSIG)<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.isca-speech.org\/\">International Speech Communication Association (ISCA)<\/a>, is the only recurring international conference focused on prosody as an organizing principle for the social, psychological, linguistic, and technological aspects of spoken language. Past conferences in Aix-en-Provence, Nara, Dresden, Campinas, Chicago, Shanghai and Dublin have each attracted 300-400 delegates, including experts in the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Speech and Hearing Science, Psychology, and related disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact<\/strong><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.speechprosody2016.org\">speechprosody2016.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:speechprosody2016@gmail.com\">speechprosody2016@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submission of title, author info and 200-word abstract: November 15, 2015<\/li>\n<li>Submission of final version of 4-page paper: November 29, 2015<\/li>\n<li>Notification of Acceptance (by email): January 15, 2016<\/li>\n<li>Early Registration Deadline: February 15, 2016<\/li>\n<li>Author&#8217;s Registration Deadline: March 1, 2016<\/li>\n<li>Conference: May 31-June 3, 2016<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/easychair.org\/conferences\/?conf=sp2016\">EasyChair page<\/a>\u00a0is now open.
