BAG-BEG-BAGEL paper published in LVC

6/30/2021

 
Picture
My paper on the merger of words like BEG and VAGUE, and sometimes BAG, has been published in Language Variation and Change (doi:10.1017/S0954394521000028).  I started this project as a student over 7 years ago, but it took a back seat during my dissertation and postdoc until I started revisiting it 3 years ago with some new methods and stats. This paper looks at production (pronunciation) in Seattle, and the next paper will compare production and perception among a slightly wider range of Northwesterners.

ASA online

6/8/2021

 
This week, I'm giving two talks at the Acoustical Society of America spring meeting, which is all online this year. ASA has two conferences a year, usually almost 5 weekdays each, but this time, it's three days, all online, focusing on one theme per day, with panels of invited pre-recorded talks followed by submitted live 5-minute lightning talks. The topics are great:
  • "Ideas worth reconsidering in speech perception and production" (things we think of as received wisdom but don't turn out to be quite true, or at least not that simple) -- lots to think about!
  • "Speech Studies Conducted Remotely: Methods and Examples" -- including my talk, "Tips for collecting self-recordings on smartphones," from my study of prelateral mergers in Oklahoma, and a lightning talk from my student Madison Pearson, "Tips for interviewing people with hearing loss over Zoom" from her experiences on the DXDX project
  • "Teaching Speech and Hearing Science to Undergraduates" -- including my talk, "Perception experiments to try on your friends"
