a follow up to the question about Eminem claiming that 'orange' and 'porridge' rhyme - tho not technically phonological neighbors based on the 1-edit distance rule; Eminem makes them "rhyme" by playing around with the prosody and syllabic structure of those words :) #CCS2024

📣New paper with @vigliocco_g and @Nareg_Kh in @cogsci_soc on iconicity and memory.

Sadly, I will have to withdraw my talk this morning at Recognition II #psynom23, as I tested covid positive (after escaping so many waves!). If you are interested in the talk, you can find the slides at https://t.co/bJlTLYEMtS…. I hope everyone takes care and stays healthy!
