Phonies Participants
Faculty and Staff
Kathryn Campbell-Kibler: Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics. I study sociolinguistic cognition, trying to better understand how people learn about each other through language variation. My current research focuses on regional variation within Ohio and how different types of variation are socially conceptualized. | |
Cynthia G. Clopper: Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics. Interests include speech perception and processing, linguistic and indexical variation, prosodic variation within and across languages. | |
Björn Köhnlein: Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics. Interested in synchronic and diachronic phonology. | |
Amanda Miller: Senior Researcher, Department of Linguistics. I am interested in the phonetic bases of phonotactic patterns, with a focus on the non-Bantu click languages. I have contributed lexical and phonetic descriptions of several non-Bantu click languages spoken in southern Africa. I have developed novel acoustic measures of non-modal phonation types to look at co-occurrence patterns between guttural consonants and vowels in these languages, and a high frame rate ultrasound method called CHAUSA (Corrected High Frame Rate Anchored Ultrasound with Software Alignment), to investigate the timing of closure and release gestures in stops, and rarefaction gestures seen in click consonants. | |
Becca Morley: Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics. Interests include the transition between phonetics and phonology in language change, and the phonetic ramifications of synchronic phonological patterns. | |
Students
Katherine Conner: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Katie Conner's main research interests include examining the relationship between LGBTQ+ speaking styles and the perceptions of those styles (both in the LGBTQ+ community and outside of the community), online discourses concerning violence against women and sexual assault, and popular media representations of and discourses on LGBTQ+ linguistic styles. She works in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in her research. | |
Ellen Dossey: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. I study sociophonetics and am primarily interested in perception of dialect variation. Currently I am working on projects investigating the relative roles of linguistic and social factors on cross-dialect phonetic imitation and perceptual adaptation. | |
Antonio Hernandez: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Interests in historical linguistics, diachronic phonology, dissimilation, and Eskimo-Aleut phonology. | |
Martha Booker Johnson: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Interests include tonal systems at the phonological, morphological, and syntactic levels, as well language typology and Bantu languages. | |
Zack Jones: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Interested in language acquisition, the role of variation in phonological and perceptual development. | |
Nohyong Kim: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Interested in phonetic/phonological variation and sound change. | |
Kevin Lilley: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. I'm interested in phonetics and phonology including historical sound change. Previously I've worked on issues in speech intelligibility. Pet interests include metrics and stress in Italian and in the Celtic languages. | |
John Ross: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Interests in sociophonetics, speech perception, and psycholinguistics. | |
Junyu Ruan: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Historical linguistics, phonetics. | |
Cory Shain: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. My interests include computational linguistics, language acquisition modeling, human sentence processing, and the phonology of Iyasa (a Cameroonian language I've been studying since 2012). | |
Riley Wagner: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. I am currently studying the productivity and acceptability of extensions of the -esc and -ez infixes within Romanian verb paradigms. | |
Qingyang Yan: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. Qingyang's research interests mainly include perception of dialect variation (perceptual classification and evaluation of Enshi Mandarin regional varieties, and free classification of American English varieties by listeners of different ages), the linguistic, sociopsychological and situational factors influencing cross-dialect phonetic imitation, and generalizability of imitation. | |
Yuhong Zhu: Graduate Student, Department of Linguistics. My interests involve theoretical phonology, historical linguistics and models of sound change. I am currently studying the sound system of Wu Chinese. | |
