The Speech Prosody Studies Group is a research team of five full researchers and six students from three Brazilian universities, the State University of Campinas, the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, and the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.

Nowadays the group works in six main areas:
