MARK AMENGUAL SEEKS RESEARCH ASSISTANCE

Mark Amengual of the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics at UCSC has contacted us looking for research assistance in a fascinating project involving production and perception abilities among various categories of speakers of Spanish. Mark describes the project as follows:

I am looking for a graduate or undergraduate student with experience conducting acoustic analyses in Praat. The project examines the production and perception abilities of Spanish Heritage Speakers and L2 learners of Spanish. The RA would help with the data analysis of the production data. Scripting abilities in Praat are preferred, but not required. The RA will receive a sum amount of $1,200 and the work is scheduled to start sometime around May or June 2015. I am estimating a total of 80 hours of work, and the goal would be to have the acoustic analyses phase of the project completed by October 1, 2015. Anyone interested in this position, please contact Mark Amengual (amengual@ucsc.edu).
