Morris Halle

Morris Halle was a renowned linguist and phonetician known for his work on the physical properties of speech sounds and the structure of language. He studied how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived, and contributed to understanding the systematic patterns in languages worldwide. His research helped explain the relationship between the physical aspects of sound and the abstract patterns used in language, bridging phonetics and phonology. Halle's work has had a lasting impact on linguistic theory, particularly in developing models that describe how speech sounds are organized and used across different languages.
