Melinda Fricke

Welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh. My research combines corpus methods and behavioral experiments to better understand how speakers and listeners plan and understand speech.

Much of my work examines bilingual speech planning and speech perception processes, but I am broadly interested in any questions concerning the intersection of language processing, linguistic variation, and language change.

See my Research page for links to published work, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you might be interested in joining my lab.
