SPEECH PROSODY IN ATYPICAL POPULATIONS

Monday 2nd April 2007, University of Reading

www.rdg.ac.uk/epu/cls_event.htm

Abstracts are invited from those working on speech prosody in atypical 
populations for this one day event, organised by Dr Jane Setter and Dr 
Vesna Stojanovik, Department of Clinical Language Sciences, School of 
Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences. Papers reporting on therapy or 
management of prosodic disorders as well as empirical papers reporting on 
speech prosody in atypical populations are welcome.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together clinical linguists and 
phoneticians and speech and language therapists in order to highlight the 
issues in researching and remediating prosodic disorders, and discuss the 
latest findings, in this often neglected area of research and clinical 
concern.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Dr Sue Peppe, Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh.


REGISTRATION

Early bird registration by 5 Feb 2007: General 30 GBP, Student 15 GBP

Interdisciplinary Short-Term Fellowships in Speech Research

Edinburgh Speech Science and Technology (EdSST) is an
interdisciplinary research training programme that aims to close the
gap between speech science, speech therapy, phonetics, and speech
technology. EdSST is a collaboration between two major speech research
institutes: the Centre for Speech Technology Research, University of
Edinburgh, and the Speech Science Research Centre, Queen Margaret
University College. EdSST is funded under the Early Stage Research
Training (EST) scheme of the EU Marie Curie Programme and runs for 4
years from January 2006.

EdSST covers six main research areas, each of which includes
components from speech science, speech therapy, phonetics, and speech
technology:

- Articulatory phonetic instrumentation and modelling
- Speech synthesis
- Speech recognition
- Human-computer dialogue systems
- Inclusive design for speech technology
- Augmentative and alternative communication

We are currently advertising 2 Short-Term Fellowships lasting 4-12
months. These Short-Term Fellowships provide an opportunity for
outstanding young graduate researchers and PhD candidates to conduct a
well-defined research project in one of the EdSST research areas at
CSTR and SSRC. Applicants should have a first or upper second class
honours degree or a Masters in Informatics, Phonetics, Speech Science,
Linguistics, or Speech and Language Therapy and fulfil the Marie Curie
EST selection criteria
(http://europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/pdf/faq_est.pdf).
Please contact the Project Manager, Maria Wolters
([log in to unmask]), before applying.

A Welsh accent of English


I write from the University of Glamorgan in South Wales to say that
we have just made freely available on the web a description of a
`Welsh accent' of English, specifically a study of the phonology of
Rhondda Valleys English. Such `Valleys accents' are heard across a
large area of South Wales and for outsiders form perhaps the stereotypical 
`Welsh accent'. The study and its recordings can be accessed via the 
University of Glamorgan website www.glam.ac.uk/research (under Research 
Areas A-Z), or directly at www.glam.ac.uk/rhondda-accent .

The study comprises a condensed version of my 1999 doctoral thesis `A
study of the segmental and supra-segmental phonology of Rhondda
Valleys English'. It contains sound-clips illustrating the different
sounds (consonants and vowels) and prosodic features of the accent,
together with an archive containing transcriptions and an entire set
of recordings. The study could be of interest to staff or students
researching into World Englishes, Celtic Englishes, phonology /
phonetics, or intonation / prosody.

The archive of recordings might also interest students of Welsh
social history, since the coal-mining Valleys of South Wales used to
be well known for their close community life, characterised by strong
trade-unionism and socialism, by sporting prowess (producing a stream
of famous boxers & rugby players) and by chapel life and Welsh
culture (eisteddfodau, choirs etc). The recordings were made, sadly,
not long after the last of the coal-mines had been shut down and
communities in the Rhondda were suffering the tragic consequences of
economic depression.

If there is any `academic' feedback from the research I would be glad
to receive it via email to my home [log in to unmask] (I have
retired from full-time lecturing). For any technical queries - 
difficulties in down-loading etc - please contact the University
direct as indicated on the web-site.

Database of speech styles


The Chains corpus is a novel speech corpus collected with the primary 
aim of facilitating research in speaker identification. The corpus 
features approximately 36 speakers recorded under a variety of 
speaking conditions, allowing comparison of the same speaker across 
different well-defined speech styles. Speakers read a variety of 
texts alone, in synchrony with a dialect-matched co-speaker, in 
imitation of a dialect-matched co-speaker, in a whisper, and at a 
fast rate. There is also an unscripted spontaneous retelling of a 
read fable. The bulk of the speakers were speakers of Eastern Hiberno- 
English. The corpus is being made freely available for research 
purposes.

John Ohala, Professor Emeritus, Department of Linguistics, was awarded the 
International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) Medal for Scientific 
Achievement at its annual meeting held this year in Pittsburgh, PA, 17-22 
October.  This medal, the 12th such awarded since 1988, recognizes cumulative 
scientific contributions to the field of speech communication.  His research 
is centered in experimental phonology and phonetics and ethological aspects 
of communication, including speech perception, sound change, phonetic and 
phonological universals, psychological aspects of phonology, and sound 
symbolism.
