Kelly Berkson studies the sounds of human languages, using acoustic recordings and imaging techniques (such as ultrasound of the tongue) to measure how speakers produce consonants and vowels. Much of the work focuses on languages of South Asia and Southeast Asia—including Hakha Chin, Marathi, and Gujarati—as well as regional varieties of English and French, examining features like breathy voice, voiceless sonorants, and subtle place-of-articulation contrasts.
