Nice way to see off 2023: my third and final PhD paper published in SLR (open access)! 'The role of L2 input in developing a novel L2 contrast phonetically and phonologically: Production evidence from a residence abroad context' doi.org/10.1177/026765832312…

Summary of our recent paper on @GrowKudos. Based on our native speaker data, we propose a new syntactic analyses of Mandarin resultative constructions and apply this to second language acquisition @TurnerTweeting growkudos.com/publications/1…

This is the content i’m here for
When a talker repeats the same vowel sequence 34 times in quick succession, a good phonetician simply can’t let that opportunity pass.

In “Teaching Pronunciation with AI”, @SuzanneJaneGrah @anthonyPZhang @Dr_Heike_K and the team explore how digital stories and accompany activities are being trailed in schools as part of the #DELTEA research project @UniRdg_IoE @UniRdg_CeLM @TurnerTweeting @unisouthampton
Had a lot of fun presenting our new eye-tracking research: phon effects in predictive processing of syntax with my co-author @LewisBaker7414 at @isbpac2024! Reunion for us @unisouthampton @ModernLangs grads and some really positive feedback 😊 Now for the write up 😅

Incredible and comprehensive introduction to stats and R for linguists by Jessamyn Schertz! 👩💻📈

This paper focuses on the development of French /y/ and /u/ production by L1 English learners of French over a Residence Abroad (RA) in a French-speaking country.
Using K-medoid clustering of acoustic data, I tease apart gradient and categorical change to analyse how different quantities and qualities of L2 input affect both types of development. Read to find out more! doi.org/10.1177/026765832312…

Very excited to announce that my second PhD article has been published open access in Language and Speech! Phonetic Development of an L2 Vowel System and Tandem Drift in the L1: A Residence Abroad and L1 Re-Immersion Study doi.org/10.1177/002383092211… @SouthCoastDTP @unisouthampton
and 10 months of returning home to the L1 English environment only saw a partial reversal of the changes seen in their L1 vowel space, not a full reset. No changes were seen in the learners' L2 vowels though, showing some level of retention.
