Subject: Seeking native speakers of Tokyo Japanese living in NYC for speech production study


I am a doctoral student at CUNY Graduate Center studying
Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences. I am conducting a research on vowel
devoicing, which is one of the characteristic phenomena in Japanese,
especially so-called standard Japanese (Tokyo Japanese).  I am looking
for native speakers of Japanese who are interested in participating in
the study. I will ask a participant to read some Japanese words while
observing tongue movements using a diagnostic ultrasound machine as
well as tracking movements of lips using a facial analysis software.
My goal is to examine how devoiced vowels are articulated, that is,
how the tongue and lips move. The total participation time will be
about an hour and a half. The participants in this study should be
about between 20 and 60 years old and from the greater Tokyo area.

The experiment takes place at Graduate Center, CUNY. You will be paid
$20 for your participation.

If you are interested in participating in this study or know somebody
who fits these criteria, please contact me at
riwasaki at gradcenter.cuny.edu .

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics
