Marie Huffman does research in phonetics, including linguistic representations of regionally and socially determined pronunciation variations, and how fine details of pronunciation are affected by linguistic structure and communicative context. Her recent research has addressed how speakers adapt pronunciation due to partner language/dialect and communicative setting and how listeners process different dialects and foreign accented speech. Professor Huffman has been awarded grants from the National Science Foundation for innovation in integrating teaching and research, and is currently co-PI on a multidisciplinary grant funded by the National Science Foundation on production and perception of second language speech sounds, a project housed jointly in Psychology and Linguistics. Professor Huffman is currently the Director of the PhD Program.
