Research in phonetics and speech science takes place across a number of schools and departments, in collaborations that include S2S - Sound to Sense Marie Curie Training Network; White Rose Language and Interaction Research Group; Clinical Applications of Speech Technology (CAST).

The School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses including BA in English Language and Linguistics, which contains a substantial phonetics component. Phonetics research, directed by Andrew Linn and Gareth Walker, takes place within the research cluster Language, History, Society and Identity.

In the Department of Computer Science, the Speech and Hearing Research Group was established in 1986. Since then, it has gained an international reputation for research in the fields of speech technology and computational hearing. Staff include Jon Barker, Guy Brown, Martin Cooke, Yoshi Gotoh, Phil Green, Thomas Hain, Roger Moore. Themes include: computational modelling of auditory and speech perception in humans and machines; robustness in speech recognition; large vocabulary speech recognition systems and their applications.

Welcome to BAAP 2008, the Colloquium of the British Association of Academic Phoneticians, which for the first time is being hosted by the University of Sheffield.
See ‘Formats’ for latest important instructions for oral and poster presentations. A Welcome Reception has been added to the programme, at 6 - 8pm on Monday. Complimentary wine, soft drinks and nibbles will be served. Book authors: you are welcome to display an inspection copy and flyers of your work, for which a table will be provided. Please contact Reception on arrival if you want to make use of this facility. You may wish to liaise with your publisher to find out if they will offer a conference discount to delegates. Around 90 delegates per day are registered for the colloquium, so you should bring ca. 100 copies of handouts, flyers etc. Please note that photocopying facilities are not available at The Edge. Access to the Edge is from Endcliffe Avenue / Crescent: see ‘Travel information’ – ‘The Endcliffe Village’. As you approach The Edge, instead of entering the main reception at the front, walk down the left side of the building and you will find the entrance to BAAP 2008 and the Registration Desk.
PHONETICS AND SPEECH SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD Research in phonetics and speech science takes place across a number of schools and departments, in collaborations that include S2S - Sound to Sense Marie Curie Training Network; White Rose Language and Interaction Research Group; Clinical Applications of Speech Technology (CAST).
The Department of Human Communication Sciences is concerned with teaching and research into normal interpersonal communication, communication impairment, and the remediation of communication impairment. As well as prequalification undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in speech and language therapy, it offers a non-clinical BSc in Human Communication Sciences and a range of postgraduate courses, including MSc in Speech and Cleft and MSc in Speech Difficulties. Phonetics and speech science research, directed by Stuart Cunningham, Sara Howard, Bill Wells and Sandra Whiteside, is integral to three research clusters: Clinical Linguistics, Cognitive Neuroscience of Speech and Language, and Speech, Language and Literacy: Development, Difficulties and Intervention. http://www.shef.ac.uk/hcs/.
