Language Center

Pronunciation Matters cooperates with the Language Center of Philipps-Universität Marburg, where participants could be recruited for the project with the support of its teachers.

Special thanks go to Dr. Edmund Voges for his support in the Spanish area and to Ariane Wenz for her support in the French area.

Acknowledgements

Pronunciation Matters thanks all students and other participants who made their speech data available to the project.

Special thanks go to the reference speakers. Their recordings represent important standard pronunciations and serve as a tertium comparationis so that learner pronunciation and target pronunciation can be compared using the same items.
