Accent Anxiety: An Exploration of Non-Native Accent as a Source of Speaking Anxiety among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Students
(2022)Speaking anxiety is a form of foreign language anxiety which may reduce students’ willingness to communicate orally. Despite accent being one of the most salient aspects of speech, there has been little research to date ... -
Access to employment for deaf graduates, employees and jobseeking signers: findings from the DESIGNS project

Accusative alignment in the Old Tibetan switch reference system
(2022)The use of ནས་ -nas to mark cross-clausal co-reference in Version I of the Old Tibetan Rāmāyaṇa reveals accusative alignment in Tibetan syntax, which in turn vindicates the notion of ‘subject’ applied to Tibetan. -
Affect Expression: Global and Local Control of Voice Source Parameters
(2022)This paper explores how the acoustic characteristics of the voice signal affect. It considers the proposition that the cueing of affect relies on variations in voice source parameters (includ- ing f0) that involve both ... -
Analysing Irish Prosody: a dual linguistic/quantitative approach
(2004)A project of Irish prosody is described which attempts to provide not only the basis for a linguistic description of the prosody of Irish dialects, but also the prerequisite quantitative characterization that is needed ... -

(ISCA, 2009)This paper describes recent work on the automatic extraction of visual and audio parameters relating to the detection of synchrony in discourse, and to the modelling of active listening for advanced speech technology. ... -
Automatic parameterisation of the glottal waveform combining time and frequency domain measures
(2009)This paper describes a new technique for automatically parameterising the inverse filtered speech waveform by exploiting frequency domain measures and amplitude measures in the time domain. The technique is motivated by ... -

Comparison of time and frequency domain measures of the voice source
(2019)Voice source modulation is of fundamental importance in speech communication. Many parameters have been proposed to capture the characteristics of the voice, but it is not always clear how the different kinds of parameters ... -

Creating an ongoing research capability in speech technology for two minority languages: experiences from the WISPR project
(2005)This paper reports on efforts to set up a research capability in speech technology for two minority languages (Welsh and Irish), where the focus is on ensuring that this capability will outlive the project that provided ... -
Criterial positions as diagnostics in Italo-Romance: some highs and lows
(2021)This paper argues that not all [C > XPTop/Foc > V] word orders in upper-southern Italo-Romance necessarily involve movement into the high left periphery. In at least some cases, XPTop/Foc can be shown to occupy the low ...
