Phonetics and Phonology Research Group

Facilities

The lab facilities currently at the disposal of the Phonetics-Phonology group are exceptional. First, the group has access to up-to-date equipment. Second, we benefit greatly from the support from a highly experienced team of technical staff at LEL. The specialisations of the five technical staff members range from recording over perception experiments to data processing. This combination of equipment and the support to make the most efficient use of it makes ours one of the best academic linguistics labs in the world.

Our facilities concentrate on acoustic analysis and on perception/comprehension experiments. In addition, we are partners in an electromagnetic articulography (EMA) system, which is housed in the Speech and Language Sciences Department of Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, and which affords advanced imaging of speech production.
