Tarleton is a PhD student interested in phonology and speech perception, particularly the impact of written cues, lexical knowledge and sociolinguistic factors on perception and phonological processing. He works primarily with Arabic dialects, Pashto, Spanish and English.
A doctoral student in the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware, where he also received his MA. His research interests span a variety of psycholinguistic topics, such as the cognitive processing of negation and the perception of phonotactic constraints in second language acquisition. Alromihi’s research approach combines theoretical frameworks with neuroimaging techniques, including EEG and fMRI.

Bill Idsardi is Professor of Linguistics and Neuroscience & Cognitive Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. From 1992-2005 he was a faculty member at the University of Delaware and he continues to collaborate with faculty and students at UD. His research uses many different methods to investigate phonological representations and processes.
Tobias Scheer (PhD University Paris 7, 1996) is a researcher at the CNRS in France, based in Nice. He is a phonologist with specific interests in the interfaces (with morpho-syntax and phonetics) and related aspects of cognitive science, more recently also regarding EEG-based experimental work. He mainly works on the synchrony and diachrony of (Western) Slavic languages and French and is a representative of Government Phonology (Strict CV). Among the books he has published are two about the interface with morpho-syntax: a Guide to interface theories since Troubetzkoy published in 2011 and his own take, Direct Interface, published in 2012.
