Scarlett is a PhD student in Linguistics at Newcastle University with an interest in laboratory phonology, experimental phonetics, constructed languages, and language variation & change. Her project ‘Variation in Phonological Production & Perception in Later Life’ explores the effects of typical biological ageing on speech production and auditory perception.
Faye is a PhD student in the School of Modern Languages at Newcastle University. Her PhD project focuses on the adaptation of interpreters to multi-modal inputs during simultaneous interpreting (SI). Her research interests include experimental psycholinguistics, phonetics & phonology, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying multi-modal production and comprehension
Lucia Sbacco is a PhD student in Phonetics & Phonology at Newcastle University. Her research examines the the sound properties of Italian as a Heritage language by pre-adolescent English speakers born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne, and investigates how age of onset and exposure to a heritage language influence the phonological acquisition of complex sounds.
Dr White is a Reader in Speech & Language Sciences in the School of Education, Communication, and Language Sciences at Newcastle University. His research relates to speech perception, speech production and their relationship. In perceptual work, his primary focus is on speech segmentation, i.e. how listeners locate the boundaries between spoken words.
Dr Turnnull is a Lecturer in Phonetics & Phonology in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics at Newcastle University. He is interested in the phonological processes and representations of the mental lexicon. His work uses a wide variety of research paradigms, drawing from experimental phonetics, cognitive psychology, and theoretical phonology.
Dr Kelly is a Lecturer in Phonetics & Phonology in the School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics at Newcastle University. Her research integrates approaches from phonetics, psycholinguistics, and theoretical phonology, and centres understudied language varieties. She also has an interest in multilingualism, language acquisition, and linguistic typology.
Dr. Khattab is a Professor in Phonetics in the School of Education, Communication, and Language Sciences. Her interests include experimental phonetics, language acquisition, and speech processing. Her research lies in the areas of Arabic phonetics-phonology, monolingual and bilingual phonological acquisition, and sociophonetics.
