The Oxford Handbook of Laboratory Phonology

Edited by Abigail C. Cohn, Cécile Fougeron, and Marie K. Huffman

Description

This book provides state-of-the-art coverage of research in laboratory phonology, an interdisciplinary research perspective which brings a wide range of experimental and analytic tools to bear on the central questions of how knowledge of spoken language is structured, learned, and used. The book presents works illustrating how laboratory phonology is practiced and highlights promising areas of current research.

Contributions address how laboratory phonology approaches and methodologies have provided insight into human speech and sound structure. Part one introduces the history, nature, and aims of laboratory phonology. The remaining four parts cover central issues in research done within this perspective, as well as methodological resources used for investigating these issues. This Handbook, the first specifically dedicated to the laboratory phonology approach, builds on the foundation of knowledge amassed in linguistics, speech research and allied disciplines. With the varied interdisciplinary contributions collected, the handbook showcases work in this vibrant field.

Author Information

Abigail C. Cohn is Professor of Linguistics at Cornell University. Her research focuses on the relationship between phonology and phonetics and is informed by laboratory phonology approaches.

Cécile Fougeron is Research Scientist in experimental phonetics at CNRS/University of Paris 3 and co-organizer of LabPhon 10. Her research interests include the segmental manifestation of prosodic organization and the phonetic characteristics of speech disorders.

Marie K. Huffman is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Stony Brook University. Her research focuses on the acoustic analysis of speech, especially its temporal structure.

Contributors:

Adam Albright is Associate Professor at MIT. His research interests include phonology, morphology, and learnability, with an emphasis on using computational modeling and experimental techniques to investigate issues in phonological theory.

Arto Anttila is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Stanford University and Adjunct Professor (Dosentti) of General Linguistics at the University of Helsinki, Finland. His research focuses on phonology, morphology, and language variation.
