Thanks, Jeff! 😉

🤗

We wrapped up our UVALAL seminars by exploring the exciting projects of two new members of the UVALAL: @maitemg87.bsky.social and Ali Behzadnia. Fascinating topics and great discussions! 👇

Massive win for perceptual learning/recalibration fans: just learned my 2024 paper was named Journal of Phonetics' “Best Early Career Scholar’s Article of the Year.” It asks how sound difficulty + variable input shape perceptual flexibility in L2 listening.

✨ #ILCB Summer School 2025 – Just a few days to go! ✨

From September 1–5, we’ll welcome students, researchers, and lecturers at CIRM, #Marseille for a week of courses, workshops, and discussions on #language, #brain & #cognition.

Looking forward to a stimulating week of scientific exchanges!

📌 👉 The 14th International Construction Grammar conference will be held at Princeton, June 4-7, 2026

Usage-based analyses and Empirical methods

Stay tuned for updates!

The second paper of my superstar supervisee, Sara Fernández Santos, is out in Language and Cognition. Love this work because it incorporates acoustic analysis and speech perception tasks to the study of relative-clause processing 🔥⚡️🧐

There is a growing body of research on developmental language disorder, but very few studies have focused on the role of cognitive abilities in adulthood.

Language and cognition in adults with developmental language disorder (DLD) This study explored how different cognitive abilities support language in adults with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Sixty adults—30 with DLD and 30 without—completed a series of o...

I am also pleased to share the second study of my PhD exploring language and cognition in adults with and without DLD, with Prof. Ewa Dabrowska and Dr

Day 2 at the LSSL (no pic this time)

🧠Spoken word recognition in bilinguals: interaction between languages. What makes bilingual spoken word recognition different from monolingual spoken word recognition? Phonological overlap, cognate words and cross-language activation.

#lisbon #summerschool

Day 1 at the LSSL in the books!

🧠 Spoken word recognition: what is it, what do we know and how did we get here?

Characteristics of spoken language. Models of (L1) spoken word recognition: a historical overview. Useful experimental paradigms and current state-of-the-art

#lisboa #lisbon

You can hear the sounds, but can you distinguish the words? 🤔

Here's the postprint version of our new, soon-to-be SSLA paper!
osf.io/6zbgt

Celia Gorba, Pilar Prieto and I revisit the tricky link between L2 sound & word recognition—with a fresh look at methods

I’ve created a website to look up phonological features (frequency, age of acquisition, neighbors) of real and nonwords. rpomper.github.io/phono/

It’s still in progress (manuscript coming) please let me know if you have any recommendations or feature requests!

Another paper out! And probably the last one in a while😁

Here Brian Rocca, Isabelle Darcy and I extend some of my previous work and look into the role of phonological neighborhood density for L2 spoken word recognition when difficult sounds are involved

Not sure who made this & when but fittingly came across it in my downloads folder today:

In this paper, we reflect on 25 years of research into L2 phonolexical representations by highlighting theoretical and methodological challenges, providing definitions for several key terms and outlining future research directions. I hope some of you will find it interesting 😉

Ok, it's finally here 😍🥰

Effects of word-level structure on oral stop realization in Hawaiian Hawaiian, or ‘Ōlelo Hawaiʻi, is an Eastern Polynesian language spoken on the islands of Hawaiʻi. This study examines oral stops in Hawaiian as produce…

This month, my work with ʻŌiwi Parker Jones on the stop consonants /p, k/ in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi for speakers from the 1970s-80s came out in Journal of Phonetics. I am honored to work with the Hawaiian community and grateful for the linguistic resources they have been meticulously maintaining.
