Splunch

Tuesdays at 12 noon (Spring 2008)
The phonetics lab, 623 Williams Hall

Splunch is the phonetics lab's weekly lunch meeting. This is an informal meeting where we discuss current research topics on all things related to phonetics, phonology, and the study of speech and communication in general. The usual format involves short presentations of works in progress. However, we also devote some time to random discussion of hot topics in the field.

Our diverse working group involves faculty and students from departments of linguistics, psychology, biology, computer science and the IGERT program. Everyone with an interest in speech is welcome to attend. Lunch is provided courtesy of the lab.
