Newcastle University
Rory Turnbull is a Senior Lecturer in Phonetics and Phonology in the School of English Literature, Language, and Linguistics at Newcastle University. He holds degrees from Ohio State University and the University of Edinburgh, and has held appointments at the Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. His primary research interests are at the intersection of phonetics, phonology, and psycholinguistics, and address how people use and mentally represent the sounds of language. More generally, he is interested in the ways that frequency, predictability, and other usage-based factors influence linguistic sound structures. His current research uses a multidisciplinary approach to examine the role of the phonolexical network in speech processing.
