When the second language attracts but the first does not
We investigate agreement attraction effects in the L2 English of native speakers of Czech, a language that has little-to-no evidence of attraction effects. Our experiments involve two groups of participants. The first group ( N = 415) participated in an L2 English-only experiment, and the second group ( N = 183) participated in both L2 English and L1 Czech versions of the experiment (in a randomized order with a two-week interval). Standard attra…
Feminine fox, not so feminine box
The influence of grammatical gender on conceptual representations of gender has proven to be a controversial topic in the linguistic relativity literature, with empirical evidence in support of the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis being highly task and context-dependent, as well as being modulated by the type of items being investigated (animates/inanimates). In this paper, we take a megastudy approach in order to investigate differences in resul…
The overlooked effect of amplitude on within-speaker vowel variation
We analyse variation in vowel production within monologues produced by speakers in a quiet, well-controlled environment. Using principal component analysis (PCA) and generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), applied to a large corpus of naturalistic recordings of New Zealand English speakers, we show that the first formant of monophthongs varies significantly with variation in a speaker’s relative amplitude. We also find that amplitude variation…
Using principal component analysis to explore co‐variation of vowels
This paper presents a methodology for exploring systematic co‐variation of vowels using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). As a case study, we examine and build on Brand et al.'s (2021) study of systematic co‐variation amongst the monophthongs of New Zealand English (NZE) across speakers born over a 118‐year time period. We present PCA as a methodology, with information aimed at readers who may themselves want to use it in a related context. We …
Systematic co-variation of monophthongs across speakers of New Zealand English
The study of phonetic variation and change has tended to concentrate on particular variables in isolation, and it has proven challenging to move beyond an analysis of individual variables or small groups of variables, towards a better theoretical and empirical understanding of entire vowel systems. We develop a methodology that facilitates the study of co-variation, and introduce a large scale analysis of how elements of full sound systems co-var…
The Lancaster Sensorimotor Norms
Sensorimotor information plays a fundamental role in cognition. However, the existing materials that measure the sensorimotor basis of word meanings and concepts have been restricted in terms of their sample size and breadth of sensorimotor experience. Here we present norms of sensorimotor strength for 39,707 concepts across six perceptual modalities (touch, hearing, smell, taste, vision, and interoception) and five action effectors (mouth/throat…
