Sophia Sedigh Afshar

I hold an MA in Linguistics from Carleton University, where I am also currently pursuing my PhD in Linguistics. My primary research interest is in phonetics, with a recent focus on phonetic imitation. Currently, I am working on research about the production of English vowels by native Spanish speakers using phonetic imitation. In the future, I plan to work on the production and perception of phonetic imitation at both group and individual levels.

The linguistics department at Carleton University provides excellent opportunities for teaching and offers strong supervision for research.
