ASSOCIATION OF PHONETICIANS AND PHONOLOGISTS IN NIGERIA
The Association of Phoneticians and Phonologists in Nigeria (APPN), founded in 2019, is an academic and professional body that promotes scholarship, research, and practice in phonetics, phonology, and public communication across Nigerian languages, dialects, English varieties, Pidgins, and sign languages. Its members work in higher institutions, media organisations, and communication agencies, engaging in speech analysis, transcription, translation, pronunciation training, and acoustic analysis using tools such as Praat, Wasp, and ELAN. APPN publishes the annual Journal of the Association of Phoneticians and Phonologists in Nigeria (JAPPIN) and supports innovative, interdisciplinary research, documentation of linguistic data, professional collaboration, postgraduate training, and capacity building through workshops and seminars, while also addressing emerging challenges in oral communication technologies and media.
