Christina Bjorndahl is a doctoral candidate in Linguistics at Cornell University. Her dissertation research comprises a cross-linguistic phonetic and phonological study of the class of voiced, non-strident fricatives, with special attention on the segment transcribed as /v/.

Diane Brentari is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Chicago. Her current research interests include phonology, morphology, and sign languages, particularly as they relate to issues of typology, language emergence, and prosody. She has also developed a model of phonological structure of sign, called the Prosodic Model, and she has also worked on the architecture of the sign language lexicon.

Charles E. Cairns is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His research is in the general area of phonological theory. He is founder and, with Eric Raimy, co-organizer of the CUNY Phonology Forum, which has organized ten conferences since his retirement in 2003. Raimy and Cairns edited Contemporary Views on Architecture and Representations in Phonology, published by MIT Press in 2009. He and Professor Raimy also edited the Handbook of the Syllable, published by Brill in 2011; they also co-authored Precedence relations in phonology, which appeared in The Blackwell Companion to Phonology in 2011.

Charles B. Chang is a Lecturer in Linguistics at Rice University. Dr. Changs research addresses questions at the intersection of phonetics, phonology, and language contact. Recent and ongoing projects have examined the early stages of second-language phonological acquisition; interactions between the native and target languages in the mind of a second-language learner; language transfer; heritage language phonology; and contact-induced sound change.

San Duanmu is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.D. in Linguistics from MIT in 1990 and has held teaching posts at Fudan University, Shanghai (19811986) and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (1991present). His research focuses on general properties of language, especially those in phonology.

Carol A. Fowler is Professor Emerita at University of Connecticut and former President and Senior Research Scientist at Haskins Laboratories. Her research is on speech perception and speech production from an ecological perspective.

Chris Golston is Professor of Linguistics at California State University Fresno and a member of the Chukchansi Revitalization Project. His research is on phonology, morphology, meter, and the syntax-phonology interface.

Mria Gsy is a Professor at Etvs Lornd University and Head of the Phonetics Department of the Linguistics Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Her research areas are phonetics and psycholinguistics. Her current work focuses on the speech production process and on disfluencies of spontaneous speech.

Kathleen Currie Hall is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia, where her research focuses on the perception, production, and modeling of phonological relationships, using techniques from a wide variety of areas, including experimental phonetics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, semantics, and information theory.

Harry van der Hulst is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut. He specializes in phonology and has done research in feature systems and segmental structure, syllable structure, word accent systems, vowel harmony, sign language phonology, the phonology-phonetic interface, historical phonology, child phonology, language evolution, and cognitive science.

Jonathan Keane is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics at the University of Chicago. His current research interests are the phonetics and phonology of sign languages. Specifically the phonetics of fingerspelling, and how that informs handshape as well as articulatory models of language production. Additionally he is interested in instrumental data acquisition and articulatory phonology.

Wolfgang Kehrein works as an Assistant Professor of German and European Linguistics at the University of Groningen and as a Guest Researcher at the University of Amsterdam. His research is on phonology, the phonetics-phonology interface, and historical linguistics.

Kuniya Nasukawa undertook research for his Ph.D. in Linguistics at University College London and is Professor of Linguistics at Tohoku Gakuin University, Japan. His research focuses on prosody-melody interaction in phonology, and he is editor of
