Speech and Language Technology (SLT)

Posted by agnieszkaw on Thu, 11/02/2010 - 10:53

The yearbook Speech and Language Technology (SLT) has been pubished by the Polish Phonetic Association for almost 40 years (at the beginning under the title "Speech Synthesis and Analysis"). The first Editor-in-Chief was prof. Wiktor Jassem, the second (and present) - prof. UAM Grażyna Demenko.
All published work is reviewed by a committee of experts in linguistics and computer science:
Grażyna Demenko (Institute of Linguistics, A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań),
Stefan Grocholewski (Institute of Computer Science, Poznań University of Technology),
Maciej Karpiński (Institute of Linguistics, A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań),
Krzysztof Jassem (The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań),
Maciej Piasecki (Institute of Computer Science, Wrocław University of Technology),
Adam Przepiórkowski (Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences).

The papers published in the SLT concern topics from the following areas:

speech and language technology (speech synthesis, recognition),
speech and language processing,
linguistics in general,
phonetics and phonology,
speech production and perception,
speech acoustics,
prosody,
second language learning (especially as regards pronunciation and prosody training in L2),
phonetics in medical applications,
language resources (especially as regards creation and annotation of speech and text corpora, and lexica).

We kindly remaind you that only PPA members have right to publish in SLT.

Persons interested in making their contribution to SLT have to fill in the Membership Declaration and to settle the membership fee (details are given in the Membership section).
