Yahia Ahmad is a visiting scholar from Kuwait University. His interest is in “temporal duration ” of vowels and consonants. He’s investigating an area of vowel length in Arabic which resembles the situation in Lithuanian ( three degrees of vowel length: short, long, over long). His research will cover another experimental domain of vowel length which is connected with emotional speech ( in particular the phonetic cues characteristic of types of emotion).

Professor Ahmad will be visiting the department for AY 2007-09
