The Phonetics Laboratory
Anastasia Chionidou is currently a PhD candidate
in Linguistics at the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, School
of English, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. She holds a BA in English
Language and Literature and an MA in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics. Her
interest lies in experimental phonetics. For her PhD thesis, entitled
“Phonological acquisition by Greek-Albanian, Greek-English and Greek-German
bilingual children in selected educational backgrounds: Theoretical and
pedagogical implications”, she conducts phonetic analysis of stops and clusters
in bilingual speech. Her PhD research is funded by the THALIS project BALED
(Bilingual Acquisition & Bilingual Education). She is also part of the THALIS
project VOCALECT (Vowels of Greek dialects). This project has given her the
opportunity to explore more experimental phonetic techniques such as
electropalatography and Ultrasound Tongue Imaging (UTI).
She also has a keen interest in coarticulation and connected speech processes.
For her MA thesis she investigated British casual speech (RP) and assessed the
influence that connected speech processes exert on the perception abilities of
Greek learners of English as a foreign language.
