About
The Social Interaction, Language and Culture Laboratory (SILC Lab) supports research on multilingualism. Through state-of-the-art 16-channel recording equipment, workstations, and data analysis software, the SILC Lab facilitates high-quality video recording, storage, and analysis of multilingual interaction by an interdisciplinary team of researchers in anthropology, conversation analysis, education, language learning, sociolinguistics, speech communication, and phonetics/phonology.
The lab is supported by a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (#37510).
