Professor Amalia Arvaniti and Dr Tamara Rathcke, from the Department of English Language & Linguistics, will both be presenting this week at the 2014 colloquium of the British Association of Academic Phoneticians, held by the University of Oxford’s Phonetics Laboratory.
In collaboration with experts from other institutions, Amalia and Tamara will be presenting four oral sessions and two posters between them. The research areas presented by them cover rhythm, intonation, sociophonetics and bilingualism, as well as three separate languages: English varieties from both Glasgow and California, Korean and Spanish.
The British Association of Academic Phoneticians (BAAP) is the professional organisation for phoneticians in the British Isles. Its members are involved in research in phonetics, in teaching phonetics in higher education, and in the application of phonetic knowledge in areas such as speech and language therapy, speech technology and forensic science.
