I am an Associate Professor of Estonian Phonetics at the Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics at the University of Tartu. I received my Ph.D. in Estonian language from the University of Tartu in 2011 (The acoustic features and perception of the Estonian quantity system). My main research interest is Estonian prosody, focussing on the word-level features of Estonian prosody (the three-way quantity system), but I have been also involved in investigating the prosodical features of other Finno-Ugric languages. I teach courses of phonetics, Praat, statistics and R. In addition to the research activities I am one of the developers of the Phonetic Corpus of Estonian Spontaneous Speech and the Archives of Estonian Dialects and Kindred Languages, and one of the editors of the Journal of Estonian and General Linguistics.

Põhitooni joonised. Joonistab raamlausetes loetud sõnade põhitooni, kui see on segmenteeritud lause ja häälikutasandil. Küllaltki spetsiifiline, aga ehk annab mõne hea idee. >>>
üksikute sõnade häälikukestused. Kui sõnaloend või raamlauses on sõnad/laused märgitud 1. kihile ja häälikusegmendid 2. kihile, leiab sõnade/lausete kaupa häälikute kestused. Skript ei sobi pikema faili korral, sest sisaldab väikest viga, mis suurema faili korral arvuti kokku võib jooksutada. Aga on küllaltki põhjalikult kommenteeritud, nii et selle abil on ehk kellelgi võimalik midagi õppida. >>>
