Research

Research Overview

Jo's main research interests are tone and intonation, regional variation in the phonetic characteristics of Belgian Dutch and speech pathology with a specific emphasis on the relationship between Foreign Accenty Syndrome, Dysarthria and Apraxia of Speech. Recently, my research focus has developed into the phonetics of motor speech disorders and the planning of the speech production process.

Research Areas

- Speech Production
- Phonetics
- Phonology
- Motor Speech Disorders

Principal Collaborators

- Allen Hirson
- Peter Mariën

Research students

Husen Owaida

Further information: Husen Owaida is currently carrying out a research project under Jo's supervision. During this project, she has developed an articulation test for Syrian Arabic to assess speech sound development and phonological error patterns in typically developing children.
