The crosslinguistic distribution of vowel and consonant intrinsic F0 effects
Vowels vary systematically in F0 based on intrinsic properties of the vowel (e.g. height: VF0) and preceding obstruent (e.g. voicing: CF0). These patterns have been attested in most languages studied, raising the possibility that they stem from physiological sources. However, previous results show a range of variability in maximum effect size and duration. One explanation is that variation could be learned and increased to enhance phonological co…
The crosslinguistic distribution of vowel and consonant intrinsic F0 effects
Imitation of F0 tone contours by Mandarin and English speakers is both categorical and continuous
Advancements of phonetics in the 21st century
Phonetic research in the 21st century has relied heavily on quantitative analysis. This article reviews the evolution of common practices and the emergence of newer techniques. Using a detailed literature survey, we show that most work follows a mainstream, which has shifted from ANOVAs to mixed-effects regression models over time. Alongside this mainstream, we highlight the increasing use of a diverse methodological toolbox, especially Bayesian …
A sociophonetic study of creaky voice across language, gender and age in Canadian English-French bilinguals
This paper examines the acoustic correlates of creaky voice across language, gender and year of birth to investigate 1) the reliability of cross-linguistic differences in voice quality, 2) the direction and extent of gender differences with respect to creaky voice, and 3) the existence of an ongoing sound change targeting voice quality. Spontaneous speech from 49 Canadian English-French bilingual speakers was collected from publicly available onl…
Investigating the universality of consonant and vowel co-occurrence restrictions
Certain phonotactic constraints on the co-occurrence of segments appear to be much more common across the world’s languages than others. In many languages, similar consonant co-occurrence is restricted through Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP) effects, while there are some exceptions for identical consonants. In vowels, the opposite pattern appears to hold: many languages have vowel harmony processes, where vowels within a domain are required to…
The Plausibility of Sampling as an Algorithmic Theory of Sentence Processing
Words that are more surprising given context take longer to process. However, no incremental parsing algorithm has been shown to directly predict this phenomenon. In this work, we focus on a class of algorithms whose runtime does naturally scale in surprisal—those that involve repeatedly sampling from the prior. Our first contribution is to show that simple examples of such algorithms predict runtime to increase superlinearly with surprisal, and …
Structured heterogeneity in Scottish stops over the twentieth century
How and why speakers differ in the phonetic implementation of phonological contrasts, and the relationship of this ‘structured heterogeneity’ to language change, has been a key focus over fifty years of variationist sociolinguistics. In phonetics, interest has recently grown in uncovering ‘structured variability’—how speakers can differ greatly in phonetic realization in nonrandom ways—as part of the long-standing goal of understanding variabilit…

The medium-term dynamics of accents on reality television
1. DYNAMIC MODEL RESULTS.Tables S1-S3 supplement the results of the dynamic models reported in §5 of the main text.Table S1 summarizes predicted time dependence in VOT for voiced and voiceless stops for each speaker: predicted average VOT (a speaker's 'offset' in the static model), whether the model includes by-day variability and/or a time trend, and σ, which quantifies the degree of by-day variability.Table S2 summarizes the predicted time depe…
The medium-term dynamics of accents on reality television
How flexible is an individual's accent during adulthood, and how does this flexibility relate to longer-term change? Previous work has found that accents are remarkably flexible in conversational interaction, but predominantly stable over years, leading to very different views of the role of individuals in community-level sound change. This article examines MEDIUM-TERM accent dynamics (days to months) by taking advantage of a ‘natural experiment’…
Testing for Frequency and Structural Effects in an English Stress Shift
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper considers the English diatonic stress shift (DSS). We examine the role of frequency and phonological structure as conditioning factors for which of a set of noun/verb pairs have undergone the DSS between 1700 and the present. Previous work by Phillips (1984) has shown a role of frequency: on average, words which have undergone the DSS have lower frequency than those which have not. Using …
