Speech PROsody Special Interest Group (SProSIG)
The subject of Speech Prosody today covers a huge multidisciplinary area of research involving scientists from very different backgrounds and traditions, including linguistics, acoustics, speech synthesis and recognition, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, speech therapy, language teaching. Work in each of these fields has evolved very rapidly over the last few years and it is today impossible for any one person to keep up with the most recent work in all of these fields. The subject is particularly daunting for young researchers coming into the area who need to acquire a background in several fields which are often taught in entirely different departments or institutions.
Aims
The aims of the Special Interest Group on Speech Prosody (SProSIG), a study group of the ISCA, are to promote the study and diffusion of knowledge about Speech Prosody in general in a number of ways, including:
- dedicated web pages
- a regular email Newsletter
- a bibliographic database
- organisation of workshops on specific themes
- helping to co-ordinate sessions on prosody in International meetings (Interspeech, Eurospeech, ICPhS, ICL etc.)
The international nature of the group also provides a means for diffusing information both to and from the different language communities involved in research on various languages.
