Carlos Gussenhoven is Professor of General and Experimental Phonology at Radboud University, Nijmegen, where he held a personal chair from 1996 to 2011. He has held positions at UC Berkeley, Queen Mary University of London, and National Chiao Tung University, as well as well as guest professorships at the University of Konstanz and Nanjing University. His many publications include Understanding Phonology (4th ed, with Haike Jacobs; Routledge 2017) and The Phonology of Tone and Intonation (CUP, 2004). Aoju Chen is Professor of Language Development in Relation to Socialisation and Identity at Utrecht University. She has worked extensively on the production, perception, and processing of prosodic meaning and acquisition of prosody in a first and second language from a cross-linguistic perspective. More recently, she has extended her work to research on the social impact of developing language abilities in a first or second language. She is currently an associate editor of Laboratory Phonology and an elected board member of the ISCA Special Interest Group on Speech Prosody (SPoSIG).
