Corpus approaches to phonetic~phonological variability and stability
Event details
On Friday 26th November 2021 Professor Sam Hellmuth (Dept. Language and Linguistic Science) will host an online research event organised in collaboration with PhilSoc, part of the PhilSoc ECR Round Table 2021-22 event series. The event will see participation of Dr Eleanor Chodroff (Dept. Language and Linguistic Science), Dr Justin Lo (PhD in Linguistics, Dept. Language and Linguistic Science / University College London) and Dr Benjamin Molineaux (University of Edinburgh) as invited speakers. The theme of the round table is how we can use speech corpus data to address questions about variation - or lack of variation - within and across the sound systems of different languages.
