Graduate Students
Carissa Abrego-Collier
Carissa is a fourth-year PhD student in Linguistics. She's mainly interested in laboratory phonology and phonetics, especially on the perception side, with side interests in bilinguals/heritage speakers and sociolinguistics. In the lab, she is currently working on a sociophonetics project on perceived talker sexual orientation as a mediating factor in listener perception and phonetic imitation.
Ryan Bochnak
Ryan is a fifth year PhD student in Linguistics. His focus is mainly on semantics and syntax, with a special interest in semantic fieldwork, semantic typology and cross-linguistic variation. In the Phonology Lab, Ryan is a Research Assistant for the Washo documentation project. He is currently investigating the morphosyntax and semantics of gradable predicates and comparative constructions in Washo.
Jackson Lee
Jackson is a second-year PhD student in Linguistics. He is mainly interested in phonology and its interfaces, particularly that with morphology. He also works on syntax-semantics interface, focusing on nominal constructions. In the lab, apart from assisting in running ongoing experiments, he works on computational modeling of phonological learning.
Martina Martinović
Martina is a fourth-year PhD student in Linguistics. She focuses mainly on phonetics and phonology, with a special interest in lexical accents. She is also interested in experimental linguistics and neurolinguistics. In the lab, she is working on projects involving isolating factors that affect perceptual compensation.
Morgan Sonderegger
Morgan is a graduate student in Computer Science. He is interested in computational and mathematical approaches to studying language, especially language change, phonetics, phonology, and sociolinguistics. In the Phonology Lab he is working on modeling perceptual compensation effects.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
Eric Hallman
Eric is a second year planning to double major in Linguistics and Math. He is interested in linguistics as applied to artificial intelligence, speech perception and production, and modeling languages.
Alison Thumel
Alison is a second year in the college.
Former Lab Members
James Kirby
Personal Website
(Lecturer in Phonetics at Edinburgh University) James is interested in acoustic variation in speech production & perception and the role of variation in language change. He has worked extensively on the production and perception of tone and voice quality in Vietnamese. James' dissertation work is focused on how the reweighting of acoustic cues can induce phonologization.
