ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Prevailing theories of how we produce and perceive spoken language are largely based on a handful of well-studied languages with a focus on segmental features. At the same time, few would dispute that phonetic realization of an individual speech segment depends on where that segment is positioned relative to the entire linguistic structure of an utterance. The languages of our region provide a rich source of prosodic as well as segmental diversity ranging from stress and tone languages to those that show a complete absence of lexical prosody. Detailed exploration of a variety of languages and language contexts is essential to test and extend our existing typological models.

For a robot to talk with people, it needs language skills, but less obviously, it also needs social skills and a sense of the physical and social context of conversations. What does it take to engineer a robot as a social technology that can interact in real time in human environments? In this pro…

1. The question of child language acquisition: how do children manage to learn, in a few year…
Processing (talking, listening) is what language exists for, and through processing we can address the Big Questions in language research. What is universal, what is language-specific? (A question for all of linguistics, but processing offers a unique and informative window on it.) When is informat…
