Biography
Nadya Pincus, Ph.D., is a professor with the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. in linguistics from the University of Delaware.

Research Projects
Researchers at the PhonLab study the relationship between speech, language, and cognition by examining how speakers of the world’s languages produce and perceive speech. They use a number of methods in our research, including acoustic and articulatory analysis and behavioral perception studies. The research takes them to language communities all over the world.
At the heart of their work lies questions about cross-linguistic variation in prosody and speech timing. Researchers are interested in how these aspects of language are acquired, and how the structure of different languages shapes aspects of their temporal properties, as reflected in patterns of speech articulation and perception.
