I am a first-year undergraduate scholar pursuing a BA in English Literature and Linguistics. Besides being a scholar, I am the 2020-21 Arts and Humanities faculty rep at the University of York! My research is based in phonetics, entitled 'The untapped potential of human language: Investigating the production and perception of typologically unattested and rare sounds' in it, I get to look at phonemes that are not commonly found in speech, if at all!
