New open access paper in Speech Communication on “nasal coarticulation in Lombard speech”: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... I argue that, in Lombard speech, coarticulatory vowel nasality falls amid a compressed range of nasalisation, but coarticulation is maintained @phoneticslab.bsky.social

I suggest everyone visits our webpage and looks at how beautiful we all are thanks to @carignan.bsky.social 's amazing photography skills ;-) www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/researc...

Great SRPP (@lppparis.bsky.social) talk on speech modelling by @samkirkham.bsky.social (@phoneticslab.bsky.social) 👅 A very clear overview of why we should care about modelling and the considerations that need to be made when creating new models. 🧠

Question: if you were to do a research stay to deepen your knowledge in trans linguistics and/or sociophonetics, where would you go? (Ideally, somewhere other than the US, given the situation)

Another day, another 'AI' generated submission. Ho hum. A reminder: we believe that critical analysis requires critical thinking, and that does not (cannot) occur when the task of 'thinking' is conferred to a slop generator.

Applications for the ninth summer school on statistical methods for linguistics and psychology close on April 1, 2025. Every year people contact me saying they missed the call, so here it is again :) vasishth.github.io/smlp2025/

🗣️ Do you like the sound of your own voice? 🤖 Would you use an AI clone of your voice in a video game, a personal voice assistant or even your Sat Nav? Usually when I ask this question, most people say "no." But what if I told you that your brain is naturally wired to prefer your own voice?

Episode 49 of ELT in Chile is now live! @drkevingerigk.bsky.social and I have a great discussion about the future of data-driven learning (DDL) and AI with Dr. Peter Crosthwaite @drcrosthwaite.bsky.social www.eltinchile.com/e49/ (where you can find some resources)

Our introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis underwent a major revision (it was too long at 1000 pages, so we moved some 400 pages into online). Currently in production but freely available forever: bruno.nicenboim.me/bayescogsci/

Scaling laws for nonlinear dynamical models of articulatory control ➡️ My new article out today in JASA Express Letters, in which I present some new advances on nonlinear task dynamic models of articulatory speech movements. 🔗 doi.org/10.1121/10.0... @asa-news.bsky.social

All my ecology peeps slinging the GAM(M)s might find this paper interesting. I was surprised to learn there is a frequentist interpretation of GAM(M)s! (jk) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The call for papers for #UKLVC15 is out: Submit by March 21st and come to Lancaster in September so we can learn all about new, wonderful sociolinguistic work! wp.lancs.ac.uk/uklvc15/call...

Two weeks off work is all very good, until it's your first week back and you need to submit: - a magazine article - two separate conference abstracts - the index proofs of your monograph and that's on top of all the meetings, deadlines, and other work that could "wait until January" 🥲

Are you a recent PhD grad in cog sci, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, or other cog sci-adjacent field? Do you love teaching? Rutgers is hiring new teaching postdocs! Apply here! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/240...

I couldn’t move for a postdoc. Fellowship reviewers shouldn’t have penalized me for it www.science.org/content/arti...

The human auditory cortex concurrently tracks syllabic and phonemic timescales via acoustic spectral flux www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... iEEG. 1. syllabic & phonemic timescales both reflected in the acoustic spectral flux 2. cortex tracks syllabic timescale: theta range, phonemic via alpha-beta

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

I don't remember who created this, where I got it from, or how long I've had it, but I have it on my slides as students walk in the first time we talk about Labov's NYC study. And it makes me chuckle every time I see it for some reason. "Very rhotic. Very stratified." 😆

Precision over power. Works fantastically with Bayesian techniques!

More opportunities to join us in Oxford! We have an open-rank position in Phonetics, to coincide with our move into the amazing Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The new Phonetics Lab sits above a concert hall - both acoustically shielded! www.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk/news/2024/12...

Excited to start a new chapter of the @eltinchile.bsky.social podcast with @drkevingerigk.bsky.social A new episode is coming soon! 🎙️ Stay tuned for insights, tips, and stories about teaching and learning English in Chile and worldwide. Don’t miss it! #podcast #elt #languageteaching

I believe the questions we can answer determine (rather than just limit) the questions that we can ask. I.e., beyond successfully answering a given question or not, methods determine the theories we can build. That's why methods are the core of science. That's why methods are the best investment

Hello, Bluesky! This is the account for the Association for Laboratory Phonology, #LabPhon. Follow here to learn about new publications in our journal, and other Association news. #linguistics #phonetics #phonology

A real pleasure to run two workshops on time series and forecasting to wrap up #ESAus2024. Great to see so many wonderful scientists doing temporal ecology in Australia. Hopefully my {mvgam} software can help with some of this: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This applies across the board. Public (education) systems should use and educate exclusively with free and open source software (FOSS), not just FOSS data analysis at university. That includes the OS. It’s 100 % doable, and it’s cheaper, more respectul at all levels and more democratic

Congratulations to @lancslinguistics.bsky.social @phoneticslab.bsky.social student Emily Gorman who passed her viva today!

Very proud of my PhD student Emily Gorman for passing her viva today - she wrote a great thesis on “Spatial and temporal variation in speech planning”. Many thanks to the examiners Marianne Pouplier and Danielle Turton for an interesting and rigorous examination. Congratulations Emily!

New Episode Coming Soon! We just wrapped up recording an exciting new episode of ELT in Chile with Kevin Gerigk @drkevingerigk.bsky.social and our great guest Takayuki Nagamine @takayukinagamine.bsky.social who talked about Phonetics and Second Language Learning. #podcast #phonetics #elt
