The PhonLab, founded in 1967, has been at the forefront of research in documenting and explaining sound patterns in the world's languages. By supporting the Berkeley PhonLab Fund, you help sustain both the ongoing vitality and the rich legacy of one of the world’s most influential phonetics laboratories.
For decades, the PhonLab has advanced our understanding of speech and language while training generations of students who have gone on to shape the field. Your gift ensures that this tradition continues, while also enabling new projects that push the boundaries of research, foster innovation in speech technology and education, and provide hands-on opportunities for today’s students.
Gifts to the fund provide resources for maintaining and upgrading laboratory equipment, supporting student research, and fostering collaborations across campus and beyond. The fund also helps us host workshops, colloquia, and outreach events that bring the study of speech and language to a wider community. Every donation, large or small, strengthens both our history of excellence and our commitment to future discovery.
