Empirical Sociolinguistics

Measuring Linguistic Bias

We translate complex acoustic and phonetic data into compelling narratives, revealing how speech patterns influence social and professional evaluations.

Our Origins

From Perception to Data

The Accent Bias Research initiative began by observing the subtle yet profound impact of dialect on judgment. Our early work focused on qualitative analysis, documenting instances of linguistic discrimination in various contexts.

This initial exploration quickly revealed the need for a rigorous, data-driven approach. We developed an acoustic testing framework to quantify the phonetic variance and perceptual evaluation that underpin accent bias.

Our Ethos

Rigor in Acoustic Measurement, Transparency in Sociolinguistic Data.

We are dedicated to bridging laboratory speech science and public awareness through empirical sociolinguistics, ensuring our findings are both precise and accessible.
