The PFA Research Programme is intended to remain open to examination, discussion, evidence and constructive criticism.
The Phonetic Fluidity Audit represents a developing framework for examining the phonetic and linguistic characteristics of domain names. Its development should not depend solely upon the assumptions of its creators.
We therefore welcome contact from researchers, linguists, academics, practitioners, industry professionals and others with relevant knowledge or evidence.
You may wish to contribute research or supporting evidence, explore potential collaboration, ask a question about the programme, or challenge an aspect of the PFA Framework.
Please select the type of contact that best describes your enquiry. The form will then present the information relevant to your chosen purpose.
Discuss potential research, experimentation or collaborative work relating to PFA.
Submit relevant research, studies, datasets, published material or other evidence for consideration.
Question, critique or challenge an assumption, assessment principle, scoring approach or other aspect of the PFA Framework.
Ask a question about PFA, the Research Programme, its methodology or its application.
Contact the Research Programme regarding academic, institutional, media, conference, interview or other professional enquiries.
PFA is not intended to be a closed proposition.
The framework represents a current methodological position. Its continued development depends upon examination, evidence, testing and informed criticism.
A contribution does not need to support the existing framework to be valuable.
Evidence that challenges an assumption may be as useful as evidence that supports one.
Where appropriate, relevant contributions may inform future research, methodological revisions or additional investigation.
We welcome informed disagreement, particularly where it is accompanied by evidence, reasoning or an alternative interpretation.
