Patterns Analyzed. Humanity Revealed.
We offer some of the best resources for learning and researching linguistics in the state of Wisconsin.
Our faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate majors are uncovering the structure of language using cutting-edge methods such as ultrasound imaging and eye-tracking. We are showing that texts, sentences, words, consonants, and vowels observe principles that are not apparent to the naked ear. These principles create the potential for more efficient legal systems, more successful educational environments, new therapies for people who struggle with speaking and listening, and next-generation technologies in web search and speech recognition.
