Biography: Dr. Nearey is an experimental phonetician with an extensive background of research on speech perception and acoustic phonetics. His principal research efforts are directed at continuing theoretical development and empirical research on the perception of phonological segments. This is a traditional topic of phonetic research and involves the nature of the mapping between manifest physical (acoustic and articulatory) properties and phonological units (syllables, consonants, vowels). Much of this work has been funded by SSHRC; Dr. Nearey has also held grants from NSERC (Strategic Program) and the private sector. |
