Jacques Durand is Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at the University of Toulouse II-Jean Jaurès and a Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. His publications are mainly in phonology but he also worked in Machine Translation. He is the coordinator of two major research programmes in corpus phonology: Phonology of Contemporary French, with M.-H. Côté, B. Laks and C. Lyche, and Phonology of Contemporary English, with P. Carr and A. Przewozny.
Ulrike Gut holds the Chair of English Linguistics at the Westfälische Wilhelms-University in Münster. Her main research interests include phonetics and phonology, corpus linguistics, second language acquisition, and world-wide varieties of English. She has collected the LeaP corpus and the ICE-Nigeria and is currently involved in the compilation of the ICE-Scotland.
Gjert Kristoffersen is Professor of Scandinavian languages at the University of Bergen. His research interests are synchronic and diachronic aspects of Scandinavian phonology, especially Norwegian and Swedish prosody from a variationist perspective. He is the author of The Phonology of Norwegian (OUP 2000).
