Things that make this photographer happy part two..

Creating pun photos on the London Underground.

Needed to take my daughter into work for a short time today so while there our amazing @phoneticslab.bsky.social let her ultrasound her tongue! She thought it was very, very cool.

In sunny news, praatpicture version 1.5.0 is now on CRAN 🌞🧨 and you can now finally overlay pitch and intensity on the waveform (thanks to @jannelorenzen.bsky.social for suggesting this)

Sorry for the self-promo (again), but I wanted to share this paper in English too, just in case hehe.

If you're into voice modulation, vocal dysphoria, or trans voices in general, I'd love it if you took a look 🐦🐦 🌈🎓

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

FYI: Research Survey L1 English/L1 Japanese speakers Dear Linguist List community, I am conducting a survey as part of my research on emotions. If your first language is English or Japanese, please consider taking less than 10 minutes to answer it. It’s anonymous and there’s a small gift at the end!

See you in Rotterdam! 🇳🇱

I use it and love it!

Congratulations Rasmus! Hope to see you around once you settle in the UK!

Very happy to share that I've accepted a position as associate professor of phonetics in Oxford starting September! Excited to be part of this vibrant phonetics and linguistics community for the foreseeable future!

As part of the #ViTraLiP transnational course, our virtual guest was @samkirkham.bsky.social from Lancaster University. During our exchange in #Paris, we were able to attend his talk at the #SRPP colloquium. Thanks to @lppparis.bsky.social for inviting us! Read more here: tinyurl.com/vitralip.

A diagram showing an utterance of ‘bead’: audio waveforms (top), tongue dorsum position (middle) and tongue tip position (bottom).

A fairly basic plot but feeling quite big a sense of achievement — audio recording, tongue tip and tongue dorsum vertical movement for the word “bead” recorded with electromagnetic articulography (EMA). Love the clear raising of then tongue tip towards /d/!

New exciting tongue contour modelling methods of ultrasound data!

A surprising number of data sets in linguistics do not converge with lmer() when you include random slopes in the model. I don’t think this is about the failure to use an optimizer (btw, it shouldn’t be necessary *all the time*).
