Research in phonetics and phonology at our faculty covers a wide range of expertise and interests, ranging from acoustic phonetics to phonological typology. Among the fields of specialization are the phonetic and phonological aspects of language acquisition and language teaching, sociophonetics and sociophonology, laboratory phonology and prosody. Our research is based on diverse empirical methods such as experiments and corpus studies of spontaneous speech data.
The researchers are affiliated with different departments, primarily Linguistics and English Studies. Furthermore, there are collaborative projects together with other universities in Graz and abroad including projects at the interface of linguistics and signal processing.
