Marc Garellek received his BA in Linguistics from McGill University and his MA and PhD in Linguistics from UCLA. His research focuses on phonetics, particularly on laryngeal sounds and their role in addressing general linguistic questions. Marc explores the range of laryngeal sounds utilized across languages worldwide and investigates how these sounds contribute to linguistic meaning. His work examines how these sounds are articulated by speakers and how they are perceived by listeners. To answer these questions, Marc employs a variety of instrumental tools and data from several languages, including Hmong, Mazatec, Tongan, Spanish, Taa (!Xóõ), and Armenian. He is the director of the UCSD Phonetics Lab and is involved in research communities such as the Phonetics-Phonology Research Community at UCSD.
