Nathan Sanders (linguist) 2026-11-05
Nathan Sanders studies phonetics, phonology and patterns across languages, including physical constraints on sign language. His research homepage explicitly connects this work to mathematical and statistical models, as well as the perception and mechanics of signed production.[ref]
He is a coauthor of Essentials of Linguistics (2nd edition) by Catherine Anderson and others, whose treatment includes both spoken and signed articulation. This connection matters scientifically: the organization of language can be compared across modalities while the physical signals and articulators differ. His homepage also describes teaching tools and games intended to make linguistic analysis accessible, alongside research on sound patterns and their change.
