- Additional information
- This paper was the first to examine the use of reformulations as a means to learn to speak simple words in three different languages. It led to an invited talk by Professor Minoru Asada at Osaka University, Japan, another at a Speech Production Summer School in Chorin (Germany) organized by Dr Susanna Fuchs, Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft (ZAS) Berlin, and an invited talk and visit to Professor Birkholz at the Technical University of Dresden. This line of work was awarded UoP Proof of Concept Funding to build a robotic vocal apparatus, and this research is ongoing.
