Why Is William J. Barry Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, William John Barry is a phonetician in Germany. Academic life He moved to Germany in his early years and was mainly educated at the University of Kiel by the German phonetician Klaus J. Kohler. In 1992, he was appointed to the Chair of Phonetics at Saarland University. His principal research areas were speech synthesis, rhythm and segmental structures, the application of linguistics to questions of pronunciation learning, speech-language pathology and speech technology in general.
