Join a special workshop entitled “Speech and Language Research Using Ultrasound and Other Experimental Techniques”, which will take place on May 28! Distinguished guests from Indiana University Bloomington, USA — Professor Steven Lulich, Professor Małgorzata Ćavar, and Professor Jeffrey Lamontagne — will deliver invited lectures on various aspects of experimental approaches to the study of speech articulation. 

The workshop is part of a collaborative project between Indiana University and the University of Warsaw, aiming at advancing research in the field of speech articulation using various instrumental techniques. The organizers are a team of researchers from the University of Warsaw: Professor Beata Łukaszewicz (Institute of English Studies, the Faculty of Modern Languages), Professor Anita Lorenc (the Faculty of Polish Studies), and Professor Karolina Broś (the Faculty of Applied Linguistics). Their phonetics laboratories specialize in instrumental research on speech processing and articulation dynamics using 2D/3D/4D ultrasonography, electromagnetic articulography (Carstens AG501 system), acoustic field distribution analysis, and motion capture technology. Below please find a detailed program of the event. We warmly invite you to join us at Dobra 55 (room 1.008) on this special occasion!
