Janet Pierrehumbert /pɪərˈhʌmbərt/ (born 1954) is Professor of Language Modelling in the Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford and a senior research fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.[1] She developed an intonational model which includes a grammar of intonation patterns and an explicit algorithm for calculating pitch contours in speech, as well as an account of intonational meaning.[2][3] It has been widely influential in speech technology, psycholinguistics, and theories of language form and meaning.[4] Pierrehumbert is also affiliated with the New Zealand Institute of Language Brain and Behaviour at the University of Canterbury.
