Today I visited Macquarie University and met with:
Dr. Felicity Cox , Department of Linguistics: Felicity is going to be working with the electropalatography and ultrasound technology for recording speech production that I used to write Speech Sounds (McLeod & Singh, 2009). Felicity is also the founder of the the Australian Voices project and is working on building the Australian National Corpus (AusNC).
Professor Katherine Demuth, Department of Linguistics: Katherine wrote the chapter on Sesotho speech acquisition in the International Guide to Speech Acquisition (McLeod, 2007). Katherine give me advice regarding my visit to Mwandi in Zambia to work with children who speak Silozi.
