Our research labs include the Language Documentation Research Cluster
(LDRC), which has newly upgraded computing and audio/video recording
equipment for on-site and off-site data collection and processing,the
Alberta Language Technology Lab (ALTLab), which is engaged in the
development of computational models and various end-user software
applications and resources for several Indigenous languages spoken in
North America, and the DRAGONS Lab, which conducts research on
language revitalization strategies globally.

We also work closely with the Alberta Phonetics Laboratory (APhL) and
have access to a number of sound-treated booths for high-quality audio
recording. Additionally, our students benefit from our close ties with
the Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute
(CILLDI) and regularly gain experience working as interns and
instructors for CILLDI programs, both on campus and in communities.

Accepted PhD graduate students are provided four years of funding in
the form of TA and RA stipends. Other support for research and
conference travel, attending and hosting disciplinary events, and
obtaining tools for research is also available. The Department offers
cutting-edge training in statistical techniques, research
methodologies in language documentation and language sustainability,
psycholinguistics, and core areas of linguistics. Opportunities for
within-discipline and cross-disciplinary collaboration are also
available.
