Event presentation
This conference seeks to offer an interdisciplinary perspective on prosody, traditionally defined as encompassing intonation, rhythm, and accentuation. We also intend to include voice quality in the program alongside the established categories of stress and intonation so as to encourage discussion on the nature of prosodic features.
The aim of this project is to foster collaboration between researchers to address prosodic models, assessment methods and the interfaces between prosody and other linguistic domains.
