معرفی
Prof. Dr. Doris Mücke is a leading experimental phonetician at the University of Cologne, specializing in speech production and perception, with a focus on dynamic systems theory and the interplay between prosody, articulation, and phonology. Her work bridges linguistic theory with clinical research, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Essential Tremor, analyzing how Deep Brain Stimulation and Levodopa affect speech motor control. She is a member of the CRC1252 Prominence in Language and an elected member of the IPA Permanent Council (2023-2031).
- Key research areas: Experimental phonetics, Laboratory phonology, Prosody and articulation, Acoustic and kinematic measurement techniques, Speech motor control in aging and disease.
- She has developed innovative tools like the ema2wav-converter and Vowel Hunter software for phonetic analysis.
Her publications span acoustic and kinematic studies in German, Persian, Polish, Italian, and Tashlhiyt Berber, with recent emphasis on sign language coarticulation (LSF) and multimodal speech accommodation. She has supervised over 30 doctoral and MA theses, with her students receiving awards like the IPA Student Award and Offermann-Hergarten Prize. Her interdisciplinary collaborations with neurologists and institutions like Université Sorbonne and LMU Munich highlight her integrative approach.
