Laboratory Phonology

Laboratory phonology is a scientific field that studies how speech sounds are produced, perceived, and organized using precise experimental methods. Researchers analyze aspects like pitch, timing, and articulation to understand the physical and cognitive processes behind speech. By conducting controlled experiments in lab settings, they gain insights into the acoustic properties of sounds and how speakers control and perceive them. This approach helps to build accurate models of language sounds, improve speech technology, and deepen our understanding of human language and communication.
