Throughout this episode, Chiara Repetti-Ludlow, a postdoctoral research fellow at Carnegie Mellon&#39;s Neuroscience Institute, asks us to consider the essentials of speech processing and its constraints. We hear phonetics, but we understand phonology. How and why? To answer those questions, Chiara takes a highly interdisciplinary approach. We know that linguistics is an interdisciplinary field—it has to be. We can&#39;t divorce language from its cognitive, physical, and social apparatuses, nor can language be extricated from human interaction. But academic inquiry has a way of siloing different subfields. And, frankly, it&#39;s easier to stick to a rigid set of questions and methodologies. Chiara Repetti-Ludlow&#39;s research is exactly what we often hope for in linguistics: interdisciplinary, multi-textured, and conscious of the strengths of different subfields. By bringing together methods and insights from neurolinguistics, phonetics-phonology, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics, Chiara&#39;s research attempts to answer granular questions about speech processing. Chiara is a current postdoctoral research fellow in the Carnegie Mellon University Neuroscience Institute. She earned her PhD in Linguistics at NYU. <a href="https://chiararepettiludlow.com/ " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Chiara’s Website</a> <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797610384142" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Continuous Perception and Graded Categorization: Electrophysiological Evidence for a Linear Relationship Between the Acoustic Signal and Perceptual Encoding of Speech</a><a href="⁠https://www.laurelmackenzie.com/publication/2022-repetti-ludlow-mackenzie/⁠ " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Regularization in the face of variable input: Children&#39;s acquisition of stem-final fricative plurals in American English</a><a href="⁠https://www.laurelmackenzie.com/publication/2018-mackenzie-lvc/⁠ " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Variable stem-final fricative voicing in American English plurals: Different pa[ð ~ θ]s of change</a><a href=" ⁠https://sahilluthra.net/research/⁠ " target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sahil Lutha</a>
