<div class="col-sm-8">
<p>I am an Associate Professor of Lingusitics in the <a href=https://dlll.laps.yorku.ca/>Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics</a> at York University. I also direct the <a href=https://saplabyork.github.io>Speech Acoustics and Perception Lab</a>, where I work on projects with undergrads and graduate students from Linguistics, Psychology, and Cognitive Science. I'm also an Associate Editor for the Speech Communication section of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America-Express Letters <a href="https://pubs.aip.org/asa/jel">(JASA-EL)</a>.</p>
<p>I'm interested in lots of aspects of speech, but mostly how infants and adults perceive speech, how our perception of speech interacts with our language, and how speech perception and acoustic phonetics contribute to historical sound change (mostly in Dravidian).</p>
<div id="read-more">
<p class="push-down-2">I started my career working on the problem of how our developing perception of speech acoustics (in infancy) is reflected in larger typological patterns observed in sound systems. I've also worked on how caregivers' speech (in languages like Sri Lankan Tamil and Tagalog) to infants changes as infants develop. Another research program addresses how our perception of speech interacts with our lexicon.</p>
<p>I'm currently starting a new SSHRC-funded proj on lexical access in bilinguals. I'm also working on perceptual and phonological drivers of debuccalization in the history of Kannada (ಪ>ಹ). I've also collaborated on a project aimed at understanding the biomechanics and acoustics of <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_throat_singing>Sygyt style of Tuvan throat singing</a>.</p>
<p> I'm Californian (East Bay) and went to Cal Berkeley ('96, Religious Studies & Sanskrit) then the Univ. of Michigan ('06, Linguistics). I've always played <a href="https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=Chandan+Narayan&type=all">music</a>.
