Ellen Dossey

Ellen Dossey studies how people perceive, process, and adapt to regional accents and dialect differences in spoken English, such as Southern American English and Midwestern speech. Her work combines acoustic analysis of speech sounds with experiments on listener perception, looking at how social knowledge about a speaker's dialect and phonetic (sound-related) cues jointly shape word recognition and speech imitation. This research sits at the intersection of psychology, linguistics, and acoustics.

Publication output has been modest and somewhat irregular over the last decade, with one to two papers most years, gaps in 2018, 2023, and 2025, and a low recent average of 0.4 papers per year over the last five years.
