William S. Clapp

I'm a fifth-year PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University. I am most generally interested in phonetics and psycholinguistics, but my work also interfaces closely with phonology and sociolinguistics. Primarily, my research questions address episodic memory and the role of detailed acoustic memory traces in speech perception.

My advisor is Meghan Sumner and I work with the Stanford Phonetics Lab.
