Biography

Professor Barnes teaches classes in phonetics and phonology and is the director of the Phonology Lab. His research interests primarily lie at the interface of phonetics and phonology, with a particular focus on prosody and intonation. He studies the dynamic, many-to-many mappings between the properties of the acoustic signal and abstract linguistic categories in speech production and perception. Specific research topics include perceptual integration of acoustic cues into prosodic categories and intonational pitch events, as well as the role of perceptual patterns in structuring cross-language typologies and prosodic grammars.
