Douglass Phonetics Lab

The Douglass Phonetics lab is outfitted for a broad range of phonetics research, including articulatory and acoustic phonetics and speech perception research. The lab is directed by Natasha Warner, and the main focus of the lab is on speech perception and the interface between phonetics, phonology, and psycholinguistics.

The Syntax Center

The Syntax Center provides computing and resource materials for the study of topics in theoretical syntax. The center has regular meetings to discuss on going projects, and sponsors a salon on talks and presentations. Students are strongly encouraged to attend lab meetings. Current projects include: Verb Initial Syntax, telicity and argument structure. Uto-Aztecan and Athapaskan Syntax, scrambling, binding and the interface conditions.

Tweety Language Development Lab

The Tweety Language Development Lab asks how infants and young children infer aspects of linguistic structure, including phonology and syntax.

Psycholinguistics West

This lab studies language development, especially in children. The emphasis is on experimental studies of syntax. An example of recent research produced by the Developmental Psycholinguistics Lab is a series of studies of children’s production and judgements of relative clauses. This research shows, for example, the importance of frequency factors but distinguishes them from syntactic competence.

Phonological Acquisition Lab (PAL)

The Phonological Acquisition Lab works with pre-school age children with normal language development as well as children with speech-language impairment. Our focus is on children's developing speech with an aim towards understanding how and why children make the particular sound errors they do, with the ultimate goal of explaining the consistent, non-random and cross-linguistic patterns that occur in the speech of young children as well as the deviations from the norm.

Location: Douglass 220 (the Nemo Room)
