Nooteboom obtained obtained a BA degree (kandidaats-examen, in 1963) in Dutch Language and Literature at Leiden University, and then specialised in General Linguistics at the same university (MA degree, doctoraal-examen, in 1966). In 1972 Nooteboom defended his doctoral dissertation entitled Production and Perception of Vowel Duration in Dutch: A study of durational properties of vowels in Dutch. The dissertation was defended cum laude at Utrecht University, with Antonie Cohen as the primary supervisor; the research leading up to the dissertation was done at the Institute for Perception Research (IPO) at Eindhoven. This dissertation, and the articles based on it which appeared in the international journals, presented ground-breaking work and established Nooteboom’s name as a player in the international field of the discipline. From 1966 until 1988 Nooteboom was a researcher at IPO, but he held a part-time lectureship in Phonetics at Leiden University from 1968 until 1981, when it was upgraded to a professorship. From 1986 until 1988 Nooteboom was also a part-time professor of Experimental Linguistics at Eindhoven University. In 1988 Nooteboom gave up both part- time professorships, as well as his position in the Institute for Perception research (co-leader of the hearing and speech group from 1977 until 1988), in order to succeed Antonie Cohen as the professor of Phonetics at Utrecht University, which position he held until this 65th birthday. Since then Sieb continues to be employed by Utrecht University, albeit in a part- time position. Nooteboom is the only phonetician ever to have held three professorships at three different universities in the Netherlands. In the course of these professorships, Nooteboom has been the formal promotor to 27 young phoneticians in Leiden (7), Eindhoven (8) Utrecht (11) and even Groningen (1). In the Dutch academic system only full professors can be promotors. There were quite a few more doctoral candidates who were supervised by Nooteboom in the earlier days of his career, but Sieb does not list these as his own. The present volume commemorates Sieb Nooteboom’s career as a leading phonetician with a collection of short articles by his former and current PhD candidates, his co-workers at the Department of Phonetics at Utrecht University, by other professors of Phonetics (or equivalent) in the Netherlands and by a few colleagues from abroad who in one way or another interacted significantly with Nooteboom. Within the large group of PhD graduates we approached only those
