Profile
Biography
Richard Ogden is a phonetician and conversation analyst. He has worked on data in English, Finnish and British Sign Language, among others. His work combines phonetic detail (that is, the way the sounds of speech are organised) with conversation analytic methodology, as a way of working out how people use aspects of speech to perform social actions, such as turn-taking, agreeing, complaining, and telling stories. He is the author of An Introduction to English Phonetics (EUP). He frequently teaches short courses at York and abroad. He is on the Editorial Board of the journals Phonetic and Interactional Linguistics.
