Junior-Prof. Dr. Katharina Zahner-Ritter is Junior Professor for General and Applied Phonetics at the University of Trier, where she has directed the Phonetics Department since 2021 and co-speaks the Trier Center for Language and Communication. She earned her doctorate (summa cum laude) from the University of Konstanz in 2019 and subsequently worked as a post-doc in the DFG-funded project "Questions at the Interfaces". Research interests revolve around the production and perception of prosody, cross-linguistic comparison of prosody and meaning, early phonological acquisition, second-language prosodic transfer, and human/child-computer interaction. She employs experimental techniques such as eye-tracking, infant looking-time paradigms, forced-choice perception tests, and advanced statistical modelling (GAMMs). Her recent articles (2020-2024) reveal a strong focus on how intonation marks rhetorical vs. information-seeking questions in German, Mandarin, and other languages, how L1 tone experience shapes L2 pitch-accent learning, and how regional accent variation affects the processing of irony and focus. Interdisciplinary work extends to dog-directed speech, voice-assistant interaction, and active-learning algorithms for stimulus selection. She currently teaches statistics for phoneticians, instrumental phonetics, Swiss-German phonetics, and language-acquisition phonetics at BA and MA level, and welcomes student thesis projects in her BabyLab and adult-experiment labs.

Ellen Gurman Bard is a Reader in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences, and an Associate of the Human Communication Research Centre in the School of Informatics. Her academic career centers on experimental psycholinguistics, investigating the interplay between speech production and perception, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying dialogue. Her research explores two interconnected themes: the acoustic under-determinacy of running speech and its implications for speech recognition and production, and the role of listener modeling in audience design during dialogue. She examines how factors such as shared knowledge, predictability, and attention influence word intelligibility and articulation patterns, often using controlled dialogue corpora like the Map Task and eye-tracking methodologies in the Joint Eye-Tracking Laboratory. Recent publications demonstrate her expertise in experimental linguistics, with studies spanning determiner selection in Romance languages, eye-tracking in two-person tasks, auxiliary selection in Italian verbs, and structural influences on French accent placement. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, and human-computer interaction, frequently involving large-scale collaborative projects. Scientific Awards: No specific awards, prizes, or fellowships are listed in the available profile information. Dr. Bard supervises graduate students, with recent MSc advisees including: Helen Robson Anna Pande Eirini Kelmali and PhD students: Margaret Mitchell Erin Brown Alice Foucart Hannele Nicholson Anastasia Mangana Evangelia Plemmenou Max Louwerse Her research is supported by grants from the NSF (iMAP project), EC Framework VI (JAST project), and EPSRC (MONITOR and ERF projects).
