Hello! I’m a PhD candidate at the Linguistics Department at the University of British Columbia. My dissertation looks into the contribution of voice similarity and perceived standardness in speech processing. Do we have a easier time processing speech that is (1) perceived as more standard and (2) in a voice similar to our own? How do we define stadardness and similarity?
My supervisor is Molly Babel. My committee members are Márton Sóskuthy, Jian Zhu and Alexis Black.
