Biography / Academic Interests
:
Dr. Hall’s research focuses on answering questions in theoretical phonology (the sound systems of languages) using techniques from a wide variety of areas, including experimental phonetics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and semantics.
The questions Dr. Hall researches include the following:
• What discrete categories of sound do language users extract from a continuous acoustic signal?
• What relationships may hold between these sound categories in a given language?
• What patterns and processes apply to these categories?
• What linguistic information do these categories convey?
• How do language learners acquire these categories?
• To what extent are these categories, relationships, and processes psychologically
real?
