Massimo Lipari

I’m a phonetician and doctoral candidate in linguistics at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, where I’m supervised by Morgan Sonderegger and Meghan Clayards. I’m affiliated with the Montréal Computational & Quantitative Linguistics Lab (MCQLL), the Speech Learning Lab, and the Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music (CRBLM).

My research examines language variation and change, phonetic typology, and sociophonetics, primarily using large-scale speech corpora I have collected or adapted for phonetic analysis. I work on a broad range of empirical phenomena, including fine phonetic detail in vowels, sibilants, and rhotic sounds. I’m also interested in the phonetics-phonology interface, the mapping between articulation and acoustics, and the dynamics of speech.

In English, I pronounce my name [ˈma.sɪ.moʊ lɪˈpa.ɹi], but anything close is fine!
