  • Articulatory Control by Gestural Coupling and Syllable Pulses

    Open AccessChristopher GeisslerARTICLELanguages2025References: 24

    Explaining the relative timing of consonant and vowel articulations (C-V timing) is an important function of speech production models. This article explores how C-V timing might be studied from the perspective of the C/D Model, particularly the prediction that articulations are coordinated with respect to an abstract syllable pulse. Gestural landmarks were extracted from kinematic data from English CVC monosyllabic words in the Wisconsin X-Ray Mi…

  • Gender bias and stereotypes in linguistic example sentences

    Hadas Kotek, Rikker Dockum et al.ARTICLELanguage2021

    This article examines the distribution of gender in arguments in example sentences in contemporary linguistics publications. Prior studies have shown that example sentences in syntax textbooks systematically underrepresent women and perpetuate gender stereotypes (Macaulay & Brice 1994, 1997, Pabst et al. 2018). Here we examine example sentences in articles published over the past twenty years in Language, Linguistic Inquiry , and Natural Language…

  • Gender representation in linguistic example sentences

    Open AccessHadas Kotek, Sarah Babinski et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Linguistic…2020

    Prior studies have shown that example sentences in syntax textbooks systematically under-represent women and perpetuate gender stereotypes (Macaulay & Brice 1994, 1997; Pabst et al. 2018). We examine the articles published over the past 20 years in Language, Linguistic Inquiry, and Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, and find striking similarities to this prior work. Among our findings, we show a stark imbalance of male (N=10807) to female (N=5…

  • Phonological Koinéization in Kathmandu Tibetan

    Open AccessChristopher GeisslerARTICLEProceedings of the Annual…2018

    This paper tests the new-dialect formation model of Peter Trudgill (1986 et seq) by examining several phonological features of Tibetan as spoken in the diaspora community of Kathmandu, Nepal. Established by an influx of migrants from many dialect regions beginning in 1959, this presents a unique opportunity to study koinéization, new dialect formation, in progress. Trudgill’s model predicts that a new dialect should largely emerge in the second g…
