SPEECH PROSODY 2010

setembro 23, 2009

SPEECH PROSODY 2010
===============================================================
Every Language, Every Style: Globalizing the Science of Prosody
===============================================================
Call For Papers
===============================================================

Prosody is a universal characteristic of human speech: prosodic prominence and phrasing give listeners a window into the mind of the talker. Prosody improves human-computer interface, aids clinical diagnosis, improves the quality of second language instruction, increases the robustness of speech communication, and serves as the only channel for communicating many types of meta-linguistic and para-linguistic spoken information.

Speech Prosody 2010, the fifth international conference on speech prosody, invites papers addressing any aspect of the science and technology of prosody. Speech Prosody, the biennial meeting of the Speech Prosody Special Interest Group (SProSIG) of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA), is the only recurring international conference focused on prosody as an organizing principle for the social, psychological, linguistic, and technological aspects of spoken language. Past conferences in Aix-en-Provence, Nara, Dresden, and Campinas have each attracted 300-400 delegates, including experts in the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Speech and Hearing Science, Psychology, and related disciplines.

Speech Prosody 2010 seeks, in particular, to discuss the universality of prosody. To what extent can the observed scientific and technological benefits of prosodic modeling be ported to new languages, and to new styles of spoken language? Toward this end, Speech Prosody 2010 especially welcomes papers that create or adapt models of prosody to languages, dialects, sociolects, and/or communicative situations that are inadequately addressed by the current state of the art.

=======
TOPICS
=======

Speech Prosody 2010 will include keynote presentations, oral sessions, and poster sessions covering topics including:

* Prosody of under-resourced languages and dialects
* Communicative situation and speaking style
* Dynamics of prosody: structures that adapt to new situations
* Phonology and phonetics of prosody
* Rhythm and duration
* Syntax, semantics, and pragmatics
* Meta-linguistic and para-linguistic communication
* Signal processing
* Automatic speech synthesis, recognition and understanding
* Prosody of sign language
* Prosody in face-to-face interaction: audiovisual modeling and analysis
* Prosodic aspects of speech and language pathology
* Prosody in language contact and second language acquisition
* Prosody and psycholinguistics
* Prosody in computational linguistics
* Voice quality, phonation, and vocal dynamics

VENUE

The Doubletree Hotel Magnificent Mile is located two blocks from North Michigan Avenue, and three blocks from Navy Pier, at the cultural center of Chicago. The Windy City has been the center of American innovation since the mid nineteenth century, when a railway link connected Chicago to the west coast, civil engineers reversed the direction of the Chicago river, Chicago financiers invented commodity corn (maize), and the Great Chicago Fire destroyed almost every building in the city. The Magnificent Mile hosts scores of galleries and museums, and hundreds of world-class restaurants and boutiques.

ANPOLL realiza consulta sobre periódicos

agosto 24, 2009

No encontro de Coordenadores de GTs, durante o ENANPOLL em Belo Horizonte, ficou acordado que os GTs dariam continuidade à proposta da diretoria da ANPOLL de promover uma avaliação interna do QUALIS nos campos de interesse científico dos Grupos de Trabalho filiados à ANPOLL.

Em função disso, os coordenadores de GTs propuseram a elaboração e aplicação de um instrumento que possibilitasse um mapeamento das práticas de produção acadêmica (de pesquisadores e alunos) em função da circulação do conhecimento em periódicos da área de Letras, Lingüística e áreas afins.

Os resultados dessa consulta pretendem servir para (i) produzir um maior conhecimento sobre os periódicos que são veículos de circulação de nossa produção e (ii) fornecer subsídios para a comissão, a ser definida pela CAPES, que irá proceder à avaliação dos periódicos.

Nesse sentido, é importante que todos participem, preenchendo a planilha enviada e retornando-a para o e-mail do nosso GT (gtfono@gmail.com). Aguardaremos as respostas até 05 de setembro.

Espaços dos GTs na página da ANPOLL

agosto 5, 2009

Lançamento de um espaço para os GTs no Portal da ANPOLL na Internet atende  antiga aspiração da comunidade de Letras e Linguística. Cada coordenador de GT poderá lançar dados sobre o respectivo Grupo de Trabalho em um banco de ados com padrão fixo para divulgar uma descrição do GT, listar seus membros, anexar os relatórios e atividades de biênios anteriores e os planos de trabalho para o biênio em curso, preservando a memória de atividades do GT. O novo espaço virtual deverá agora passar por um processo de limentação da base de dados pelos respectivos coordenadores de GTs. Esse espaço já está disponível para consultas em www.anpoll.org.br/portal/gts
