DISCLAIMER

I work in the field of phonetics/phonology. Therefore, many of the resources I provide here are related to those.

​

​

LEARN PRAAT

• Praat is a free tool for phonetic analysis.​​

​

​

ANALYZE YOUR DATA

• By writing scripts, we can give programs specific sequences of instructions to obtain data from what we previously marked. Over the years, I have found very useful sites that had many scripts:

  • The UCLA Phonetics Lab​

  • The University of Amsterdam's Phonetics Lab

  • The University at Buffalo

  • The Universitat de Barcelona's Phonetics Lab

​

​

LEARN R

• R is a wonderful free tool that is available to you to manage, clean, analyze, and plot your data.

• I personally use RStudio. I find it more user-friendly and visually pleasing.

​

​

PLOTTING DATA

• ggplot is a great package in R to help you with data visualization. Here's a cheat sheet for you to learn how to use it. And here's an online book for further instructions.

​

​

STATISTICAL DATA

• Dr Marissa Barlaz's personal website is super useful and includes a lot of information about different aspects of data analysis, processing, etc. She was my statistics professor in graduate school and a member of my dissertation committee. All I know in linguistic statistics I owe it to her!

PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT

• Sometimes, you will be asked to edit your manuscript in LaTeX. If you are not used to that platform, Overleaf is a fantastic online alternative.
