Somewhat related to the last post, Mizuki Miyashita (University of Montana) and I (Sonya Bird) presented our first co-authored paper recently, on Teaching phonetics in the context of Indigenous Language Revitalization, at the Second International Symposium on Applied Phonetics in Aizu Japan (September 18-20). I’m excited to be thinking about how best to put our Phonetics expertise to use, to support learners reach their pronunciation goals as well as to help build capacity among community members to document the phonetic structures of their language!
