Biography

Maciej Baranowski received his PhD in Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania in 2006. His research interests primarily focus on language variation and change, with an emphasis on phonetics, phonology, sociolinguistics, and the accents of English, particularly sociophonetics. He has been awarded several external research grants, including funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and the British Academy, totalling over £100,000 for various projects aimed at studying vowel systems and phonological variations in African American Vernacular English. In recognition of his work, he is a member of the Polish Research Council as an academic expert. Baranowski has published widely in his field, contributing to the understanding of how linguistic features interact with social factors, such as gender and class. His contributions to research have implications for the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in understanding communication and language diversity.
