Vincent Chanethom's collaboration to develop a Canadian French Articulatory Corpus awarded an SSHRC, Insight Grant

Vincent Chanethom is a collaborator on a new research project, Developing a Canadian French Articulatory Corpus to Explore the Relationship Between Articulation and Acoustics, led by Suzy Ahn (Assistant Professor of Linguistics, University of Ottawa) and Beth MacLeod (Associate Professor of Linguistics, Carleton University). The project has been awarded a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Insight Grant for the period 2025–2028. 

The research team also includes Harim Kwon (Associate Professor of Linguistics, Seoul National University), and Florian Lionnet (Associate Professor of Linguistics, Princeton University). Together, they will examine how ultrasound tongue imaging data of Canadian French vowels aligns with their acoustic realizations, comparing results across native and non-native speakers at different proficiency levels. 

This research connects closely to the NNA Corpus, an online database currently being developed by Chanethom, Kwon, Ahn, and Lionnet at Princeton University to investigate both the acoustic and articulatory properties of speech by L2 learners of French.
