Ask the experts Part II: Analysis

The work presented here is fuelled by an urge to understand speech in its original and most fundamental context: conversation between people.

When it comes to human conversation, authority lies with the speakers themselves, and asking the experts is a question of observing and analyzing what speakers do. Ask the experts is an overview of our endeavours to apply a speech technologist’s view of observation and analysis to linguistic research.
