Kathryn Campbell-Kibler studies sociolinguistics, focusing on how listeners perceive and interpret variation in speech, such as regional accents, pronunciation of specific sounds, and associations with social categories like gender and sexuality. Her work combines linguistic analysis with experimental methods to understand the cognitive processes behind how people evaluate speakers based on how they talk. This research is relevant to students interested in the intersection of language, social meaning, and perception.
