Catherine P. Browman [http://www.haskins.yale.edu/staff/browman.html] is an American linguist and speech scientist. She was a research scientist at
Bell Laboratories inNew Jersey andHaskins Laboratories inNew Haven, Connecticut , from which she retired due to illness. While atBell Laboratories she was known for her work onspeech synthesis using demisyllables [http://festvox.org/history/klatt.html] . She is best known for development, with Louis Goldstein [http://www.haskins.yale.edu/staff/goldstein.html] , of the theory ofarticulatory phonology , a gesture-based approach tophonological andphonetic structure. The theoretical approach is incorporated in a computational model [http://www.haskins.yale.edu/research/gestural.html] that generates speech from a gesturally-specified lexicon. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics fromUCLA in 1978 [http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/phds.htm] .elected publications
