After several rounds of editing with former student Mik Martinelli and colleagues Sara Loss and Sabiha Parveen, we've submitted a new version of a paper on Mik's project about training techniques for helping listeners understand dysarthric speech. Now, we wait.
Rejoining stance6/1/2024 I've recently rejoined work on the ATAROS project, which funded my dissertation. A graduating PhD student at the University of Washington, Sara Ng, has been leading related work on the prosodic interactions of information load (new/given info) and stance. Our mutual adviser, Richard Wright, gave several talks in France and Japan during his sabbatical this spring. We wrote a conference proceedings paper for one, and we're working on a journal article for next year.
My latest paper on the bag-beg-vague merger in the Pacific Northwest has been accepted to the Journal of Phonetics. The title explains: Production and perception of prevelar merger: Two-dimensional comparisons using Pillai scores and confusion matrices. I've been considering ways to compare the two types of data for a long time, so I'm very pleased with this one. Special thanks to Santiago Barreda for the direction on confusion matrices (and bootstrapping confidence intervals on stats that don't normally provide things like p-values).

My second article with Paul De Decker in Newfoundland has been published in Language and Linguistics Compass. This journal spans linguistic disciplines to reach a broader audience. This paper compares recordings made on various popular consumer devices (smartphones, laptops, iPad) to professional equipment. Fortunately, vowel patterns are pretty comparable across devices, so researchers can collect audio data from afar, even after the pandemic subsides.
