Research
I investigate speech production and perception, and phonological organization in human language. My research focuses on the phonetic properties of 'patterns of sounds', with a special interest in phonological classes which have proven difficult to describe: liquid and fricative consonants. With colleagues at MARCS, USC, and Haskins Laboratories, We make use of ultrasound, MRI, and other technologies to investigate the how the shape of the vocal tract changes over time, to inform our knowledge of phonological structure and its cognitive representation.
