TIE Conference Series on Tone and Intonation

After the TIE Conference on Tone and Intonation  in Santorini (9-11 September 2004), it was widely felt that the momentum created by the TIE series of scientific meetings should be preserved by instigating a biannual conference on the topic of tone and intonation, to be organized around the same time in every even year, somewhere in Europe. The general theme of these conferences is the phonology and phonetics of word and sentence prosody in the languages of the world. In this series, the Santorini conference was retrospectively the first.

The Standing Committee at TIE 4 will be formed by the organizers of that conference, Tomas Riad and NN, as well as the organizers of the previous two conferences Laura Downing, Caroline Féry, Sónia Frota and Marina Vigário. The Standing Committee's main task is to recruit the organizers of the next conference and announce its venue. Subsequently, the new organizers take the place of the longest-serving members.
