Linguistics Lab

Dartmouth's Linguistics Lab houses a sound-attenuated booth, high-quality microphones and recording equipment, an ultrasound to observe the oral cavity during speech, an electroglottograph for fine-grained measurements of voice quality and movements of the vocal folds, a nasal/oral airflow measurement system, handheld digital recorders, pre-amplifiers, computers with acoustic analysis software, materials for palatography, and other equipment. The Linguistics Lab is used for precise phonetic analyses in faculty and student research as well as other linguistic research and class activities.
