Resources
As students in Linguistics, you have access to a number of resources, including work space, equipment, and software.
Equipment
All students can access available equipment during regular office hours (Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Some portable equipment may also be borrowed for longer periods.
Software and resources
There are a number of commercial software packages that are not normally available in other campus computing facilities installed in our lab workstations, including Praat, Adobe and Sony Audio/Video editing suites, and more.
Through linguistics, you also have access to a number of phonetics resources, like the Multimedia IPA chart.
Labs
Our department houses two labs: the Speech Research Lab and the Sociolinguistics Research Lab. These labs require special access; inquiries can be made to the lab directors: Dr. Sonya Bird (SRL) or Dr. Alexandra D'Arcy (SLRL).
