Sarah Hawkins has broad interests within experimental phonetics, encompassing speech perception and production by adults and
children. Her recent research addresses subtle differences in acoustic-phonetic fine detail that systematically reflect
distinctions in linguistic structure, and how listeners use these subtle cues to understand natural and synthetic speech. She
held a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship (2003-2006), The development of a phonetically-rich model of speech
understanding, to extend the neuropsychological and computational directions of her work on multi-modal representation of
speech and meaning in memory ('Roles and representations of systematic fine phonetic detail in speech understanding', Journal of
Phonetics, 31, (2003) 373-405, and 32 (2004) 141.) See her personal web page for more information and downloadable papers.
