Phonological and Lexical Conditioning of TRAP Vowel Duration in Australian English
The trap vowel /æ/ is known to display a complex variable duration in many English dialects, but this phenomenon is understudied in Australian English. Previous analyses suggest that trap duration is sensitive to the effects of following phonetic environments in complex ways, but that a lexically specific effect may also operate in determining duration. This study aims to investigate phonetic and lexical effects through an acoustic analysis of tr…
Perceptual Style-Shifting Across Singing and Speech: Music Activates Pop Song English for NZ Listeners
American singing accents are prevalent in popular music throughout the English-speaking world. Singing with an American-influenced phonological style is a supralocal norm, referred to here as Pop Song English (PSE). This article presents two perception experiments that explore New Zealand (NZ) listeners’ speech processing in musical and non-musical contexts. An analysis of the Phonetics of Popular Song corpus provides the foundation for the first…
How Do We Get the Public Into Public Health Research? Learnings and Key Recommendations From Initiating a Community Involvement Project Scheme
What is “good” co-production in the context of planetary health research, and how is it enabled
Involvement of non-academic stakeholders in research is essential when seeking to address global challenges, yet there is considerable uncertainty on how to do this well given the complexity. This paper aims to define more clearly what ‘good’ co-production looks like in the context of urban-planetary health research and how to operationalise it in research design, drawing on existing literature alongside case study experience from operationalisin…
Influence of pitch and speaker gender on perception of creaky voice
Creaky voice is a non-modal voice quality generally described as sounding pulse-like and low in pitch. While empirical studies have produced mixed results when it comes to creak prevalence by speaker gender, creaky voice is stereotypically associated with women’s speech. Past research has investigated whether listeners are facilitated in their identification of creaky voice through the degree of pitch differences between modal and creaky voice or…
Pop Song English as a supralocal norm
An American-influenced singing accent, referred to here as Pop Song English (PSE), is common in popular music throughout (and beyond) the Anglophone world. This article presents an analysis of the sung pronunciation of two variables (bathand nonprevocalic /r/)that distinguish New Zealand English (NZE) from American Englishes (AmE). The Phonetics of Popular Song (PoPS) corpus includes 154 performers, structured according to country of origin (NZ a…
Operationalising a large research programme tackling complex urban and planetary health problems: A case study approach to critical reflection
Addressing increasingly urgent global challenges requires the rapid mobilisation of new research groups that are large in scale, co-produced and focussed explicitly on investigating root causes at a systemic level. This requires new ways of operationalising and funding research programmes to better support effective interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary (ID/TD) partnerships between a wide range of academic disciplines and stakeholder groups. Un…
Australian English speakers’ attitudes to fricated coda /t
The fricated allophone of coda /t/ is a variant in which full occlusion of the alveolar stop is not achieved, resulting in the consonant instead being produced via frication. Fricated /t/ is attested in several varieties of English from the British Isles and Southern Hemisphere. While awareness of the variant can be found in Australian popular culture, it has been the focus of few sociophonetic studies. Here we report on an experiment which inves…
Attitudes and approaches to patient and public involvement across Europe: A systematic review
The values of open data
This paper explores the values of open data in the context of differential power relations in academia and, in particular, the significance of open data policies for early career researchers and career development
Let’s Talk about Physical Activity”: Understanding the Preferences of Under-Served Communities when Messaging Physical Activity Guidelines to the Public
Despite many countries having physical activity guidelines, there have been few concerted efforts to mobilize this information to the public. The aim of this study was to understand the preferences of under-served community groups about how the benefits of physical activity, and associated guidelines, can be better communicated to the public. Participatory workshops, co-developed between researchers, a local charity, and a community artist, were …
Patient involvement in qualitative data analysis in a trial of a patient‐centred intervention: Reconciling lay knowledge and scientific method
BACKGROUND: We conducted a pilot study of an intervention to facilitate patients' agenda setting in clinical consultations. The primary aim of the study was to test the feasibility of running the randomized controlled trial. A secondary objective was to assess the extent to which patient and public involvement (PPI) could contribute to the process of qualitative data analysis (QDA). AIMS: To describe a novel approach to including patient partners…
Extent, quality and impact of patient and public involvement in antimicrobial drug development research: A systematic review
Engaging “seldom heard” groups in research and intervention development: Offender mental health
BACKGROUND: People subject to the criminal justice system often have substantially different life-experiences from the general population. Patient and public involvement (PPI) of "seldom heard" groups provides valuable experiential knowledge, enhancing research. OBJECTIVE: To share our jointly developed techniques to ensure the meaningful engagement and contribution of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system (PWLECJS) in resea…
Hearing r-sandhi: The role of past experience
This article reports on patterns in the production and perception of New Zealand English r -sandhi. We report on two phoneme-monitoring experiments that examine whether listeners from three regions are sensitive to the distribution of r -presence in linking and intrusive environments. The results provide evidence that sound perception is affected by a listener's experience-driven expectations: greater prior experience with a sound in a given cont…
Evaluating patient and public involvement in health research: From theoretical model to practical workshop
BACKGROUND: There is a growing literature on evaluating aspects of patient and public involvement (PPI). We have suggested that at the core of successful PPI is the dynamic interaction of different forms of knowledge, notably lay and professional. We have developed a four-dimensional theoretical framework for understanding these interactions. AIM: We explore the practical utility of the theoretical framework as a tool for mapping and evaluating t…
Values associated with public involvement in health and social care research: A narrative review
Theoretical directions for an emancipatory concept of patient and public involvement
Patient and public involvement (PPI) is now firmly embedded in the policies of the Department of Health in England. This article commences with a review of the changing structures of PPI in English health and social care, largely in terms of their own explicit rationales, using that as a spring board for the development of a general theoretical framework. Arguing that all democratic states face major dilemmas in seeking to meet conflicting demand…
Staging language: An introduction to the sociolinguistics of performance
Staged performance involves the overt, scheduled identification and elevation of one or more people to perform, with a clearly demarcated distinction between them and the audience. It involves the agentive use of language, building on the foundation of existing social meanings. Staged performances tend to be linguistically stylized, pushing the limits of language creativity. They have the potential to trigger significant sociolinguistic effects, …
Flight of the Conchords: Recontextualizing the voices of popular culture1
Folk-comedy duo, Flight of the Conchords, have become one of New Zealand's most successful musical exports, having attracted a large international audience through their American-produced TV series. One of their central comic devices is to stylize well-known singers and their music. This article focuses on how Flight of the Conchords shift their phonetic style towards that of various target personas, and how they maintain their own voices as come…
Performing Pasifika English in New Zealand: The case of bro’Town
bro’Town is a popular animated comedy whose language is that of stylized performance. It deals with the adventures of a group of five teenage Pasifika boys growing up in Auckland, New Zealand, and showcases performances of the Englishes spoken by Polynesian immigrants and their descendants. A range of varieties are performed on the show by a handful of actors. We analyzed several linguistic variables in the speech of three of the main characters …
