Pernot, Scripture and Millet: Different ideas for running a journal of experimental phonetics in the early 20th century.

Résumé

This paper focuses on three projects that aimed to speak to the international community of experimental phoneticians in the interwar period in Europe. The Revue de phonétique encountered a crossroads following the demise of one of its founders, Abbé Rousselot, in 1924. Hubert Pernot grappled to sustain the Revue until 1929 amidst uncertainties. Concurrently, Edward Wheeler Scripture initiated another journal in 1930, offering an alternative but short-lived platform for experimental phonetic inquiry. The two phoneticians and their projects were observed and criticized by Rousselot's former pupil, Abbé Millet, who harboured aspirations for a phonetics journal of his own. Based on archival materials, the paper analyses the available correspondence exchanged between these key actors and Josef Chlumský, a leading Czech phonetician of the era. The epistemological evidence reveals important and often overlooked details surrounding the trajectory of experimental phonetics journals and related initiatives, but also reflects on the challenges, ambitions, and scholarly exchanges that shaped the vibrant landscape of experimental phonetics in interwar Europe.
