<Sky Onosson> is a <linguist> whose research connects <phonetics>, <phonology> and quantitative analysis of <language> variation. His research statement emphasizes the changing acoustic structure of <vowels>, including <diphthongs>, and the use of the <R (programming language)> for modeling and visualization.<Research homepage by Sky Onosson>[About Me, research methods and education]{ref}
His 2018 dissertation investigated <Canadian raising> by comparing vowel duration and <formant> trajectories across Canadian and two American dialect groups.<An Acoustic Study of Canadian Raising in Three Dialects of North American English by Sky Onosson>[Abstract, printed p.iii]{ref} Comparing a trajectory instead of only one instant helps distinguish a vowel's changing quality from the effects of duration. His work consequently treats time alignment as part of the scientific analysis, rather than assuming that measurements at a single relative time capture every contrast.
