Silvina C. Bongiovanni

Dr. Silvina Bongiovanni’s research lies within the framework of laboratory phonology, which brings together experimental methods and theoretical models of sound structure. She focus primarily on Spanish, using phonetic tools to explore how phonological contrasts are maintained, how sound patterns emerge and vary in everyday speech, and how alternations develop. Dr. Bongiovanni also does work in second language phonology, especially how learner production and perception inform theory and pedagogy.
