Benjamin V. Tucker is a professor of phonetics in the Department of Linguistics, University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB, Canada). He is also the director of the Alberta Phonetics Laboratory. He received his PhD from the University of Arizona. His research focuses on cognitive aspects of the production and perception of
spontaneous speech (e.g., “Wazat?” for “What is that?”). He also works on the documentation of endangered and underdocumented languages.
