Dr Claire Nance’s research involves sociolinguistics, phonetics, laboratory phonology. In this talk she will present a series of three studies on the phonetics and phonology of Scottish Gaelic, a minority Celtic language of Scotland. In each case, she will demonstrate how data from small, minority, and typologically unusual languages can challenge linguistic theory and enrich existing paradigms.
