Richard Ogden is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of York, UK. His research focuses on the phonetic details of conversation. He has published on turn-taking, assessments, and complaints. Much of his work looks at fine phonetic details which are often overlooked from a linguistic perspective, such as clicks, swallowing and most recently the phonetic details of laughter. He is on the editorial board of Interactional Linguistics and RoLSI, and his textbook An introduction to English phonetics is now in its third edition. He has taught workshops on phonetics and CA at York, online and around Europe.
