The Pacific Languages & Linguistics Lab (PacLab) at Swarthmore College is set up to support fieldwork and other scholarship related to the languages of the Pacific, especially the Austronesian languages and those spoken on and around the island of New Guinea.

The Phonetics lab is used to record speech in a sound reduction booth and analyze the articulation of vowels and consonants using ultrasound imaging technology.

The Endangered Languages Research and Documentation lab focuses on community-centered language documentation and revitalization projects around the world.

The Talking Dictionaries developed in this lab can be found at talkingdictionary.swarthmore.edu

Student research is currently paused.
