The phonetics laboratory was established in March 1996. It is a soundproof audio-recording room equipped with a speech analyzer Kay 5500, an open reel recorder, a mixer, a double cassette recorder, a CD player and a computer. The psycholinguistics laboratory, established in February 2001, is also soundproof. Two computers, E-prime software, response boxes and monitors designed for uni-modal (either visual or auditory input) and bi-modal (concurrent visual and auditory input) are available for behavioral experiments. In addition, the computational linguistics laboratory is maintaining a repository that contains a huge amount of Chinese corpora (the balanced corpus, the web corpus, and the social network corpus) and lexical resources (Chinese Wordnet, etc). Finally, through collaboration with the Psychology Department at the National Taiwan University, students may have opportunities to access Event-Related Potentials (ERP) research equipment, including a Neuroscan amplifier that supports electrophysiological recordings from 64 electrodes and software for data analyses. In the near future, students will also have access to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment that was recently granted to the National Taiwan University by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of the National Science Council. More generic facility includes a large computer room equipped with a variety of programs necessary for the linguistic and statistical data analyses. Furthermore, a total of 493,000 titles on linguistics are available in the library. Since the establishment of the Institute, approximately 4000 volumes have been purchased and a regular subscription of over 20 magazines and journals has been maintained.
