Thomas Kettig, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics at York University in Toronto. His research investigates how speech sounds vary and evolve across different regions and historical periods, drawing insights from multiple interconnected fields, including endangered language documentation, sociolinguistic variation, historical linguistics, theoretical phonology, and quantitative experimental methods. Dr. Kettig also employs advanced articulatory and acoustic phonetic techniques to deepen our understanding of linguistic sound systems and their transformations over time.
