Speech, Lexicon and Modeling Lab

About the SLaM Lab

The Speech, Lexicon and Modeling (SLaM) Lab at the University of Florida
conducts cutting-edge research in phonetics, phonology, and the mental lexicon.
Our work combines experimental and computational methods to better understand
speech, grammar, and language processing.

The SLaM Lab is co-directed by
Dr. Ratree Wayland, Dr. Caroline Wilshire, and Dr. Kevin Tang in the University of Florida Linguistics Department.

We provide research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Students from diverse disciplines—including Engineering, Linguistics, and Digital Humanities—are encouraged to participate.

The lab collaborates with other research groups across campus and hosts a biweekly linguistics reading group.
