WAVEip

Workshop on the Analysis of Varieties of English intonation and prosody

12th -14th December 2000
Victoria University of Wellington
New Zealand

This workshop will bring together researchers from around the world with
an interest in the analysis of intonation and prosody in varieties of
English. The workshop will contain a mix of discussion papers and hands-on
analysis of speech materials (within the general ToBI framework).

We welcome contributions on the analysis both of 'standard' varieties of
English such as General American, Australian, New Zealand, or Southern
British English, and of emerging varieties of English such as Singapore or
Hong-Kong English, as well as of geographic and sociolinguistic variation
in intonation and prosody.

Submissions of theme suggestions are requested by July 21st, of paper
abstracts by August 25th. Further details can be found on our website (see
below).

Registration cost is likely to be around NZ$100 (NZ$50 for students).

A limited amount of accommodation can be arranged through the
University.

 ORAlity and GEstuality 

Aix-en-Provence (France)
June 18 - 22, 2001
International conference
Languages : French, English

ORAGE 2001 is in straight line with the ORAGE' 98 conference - ORAlit et
GEstualit - Communication Multimodale, Interaction, Santi S., Guatella I.,
Cav C., Konopczynski G. (eds), 1998, l'Harmattan, Paris. Its objective is
to promote the importance of a multimodal approach in the study of
communication. The major theme of this meeting is the use of voice and
gestures in the management of interactive time and space. The emergence of
this set of topics and the increasing research in gestural and vocal
studies led to the foundation of the GeVoix association which is
co-organizing this conference with the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (CNRS
ESA 6057) at the Universit de Provence.

*** Topics ***

- ethology of human communication 
- animal and cross-species communication
- communicative gestures
- voice (prosody...)
- relationship between gestures and voice, bimodality 
- multimodality and mental representations
- production and perception of voice and gesture
- semiotic models for voice and gesture analysis
- universals and cultural variations 
- social contexts and interaction
- pathological contexts 
- developmental approaches
- expression of emotions
- methodology, instrumentation and technology in voice and gesture
analysis

The linguist will provide expertise in phonetics to tune dictionaries for
text-to-speech synthesis.  S/he will also be responsible for tuning
extensive grammars for understanding names and movie/video game/titles.
This tuning will involve tuning speech recognition grammars. The company
has on-going development of Natural Language Protocols, and a linguist
with a computational linguistics background would contribute to advancing
these protocols, e.g. intelligent searches of movie titles (for which the
company currently maintains a version of a solution).

NetByTel is the leader in Voice Enables E-business solutions with a
telephony platform incorporating advanced speech recognition technology
and call-flow design methodologies, with a focus on Human Factors analysis
of caller experiences.  Linguistics bridges the gap between Human Factors
and Speech Recognition Engineering.

Programming experience in C++ and Perl a plus.  There are full-time
opportunities in development currently.

I would be happy to discuss the opportunity by phone.  Please send your
resume, description of your strengths and background and reason for
interest by email and I will contact you.
