Date: 08-Dec-2009 From: Ellen Broselow <ellen.broselowstonybrook.edu> Subject: Foreign Language Perception, Production: PhD Student, Stony Brook University (SUNY), New York, USA E-mail this message to a friend Institution/Organization: Stony Brook University (SUNY) Department: Linguistics Level: PhD Duties: Research Specialty Areas: Phonetics; Phonology Description: Students admitted to the Ph.D. program in linguistics will be considered for Research Assistantships on an NSF-funded project investigating the relationship between the production and perception of foreign languages. This project uses the methodology of linguistics, psychology, and neurophysiology to determine why some foreign language structures are mastered more easily than others. The goals are to determine whether language learners' problems in pronunciation originate from errors of perception, and at what level of processing the perception errors occur. Two types of methodology are employed: discrimination tasks, in which listeners judge two stimuli as the same or different; and ERP (event related potentials), which measure automatic responses of the auditory system to changes in auditory stimuli. Experience with ERP is welcome but not necessary.
