Phonetics and phonology
Research in the field of phonetics/phonology at the faculty covers a wide range of specialist areas from acoustic phonetics to phonological typology. The core areas of our research are phonetic and phonological aspects of language acquisition and foreign language didactics, sociophonetics and sociophonology, laboratory phonology, prosody and phonology-syntax interface. Our research is based on various empirical research methods such as experiments and corpus studies with spontaneous speech data.
