Phonetics-Phonology Discussion Group

Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at UM and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology. We meet roughly biweekly during the academic year to present our research, discuss "hot" topics in the field, and practice upcoming conference or other presentations. We welcome anyone with interests in phonetics and phonology to join us.

See the discussion groups page for the current schedule. Please contact Susan Lin (sslin@umich.edu) for information, or to be added to our email group.
