Are you a data scientist and a linguist? This position is calling to you!

[Richard Wright @lingprof]

@haspelmath Some linguists have been using "community research". Primary and collaborative research can happen in a variety of research settings.

This study compares 16 vowel-normalization methods for purposes of sociophonetic research, with focus on dynamic formant trajectories. https://t.co/HwfoKyuV52

@MtwoBtwo Congratulations!

[Matthew Winn @matt_with_ears]

Doing research involving speech perception and acoustics? This new paper by me and @lingprof reconsidered some commonly used stimuli to show how they can be misinterpreted, misused, and lead to unreliable conclusions.

@lisa_b_davidson Since you're distinguishing lexical vs prosodic, I'd say lexical-word initial vs prosodic-word initial.

@lisa_b_davidson As someone who was doubly boosted and still contracted Covid, I agree with you about masks. A maskless dude on a flight coughed on me for 2.5 hours; if he'd been masked I might not have gotten so coated with aerosolized Covid spittle. Something even my mask couldn't prevent.

Just published a paper that I'm pretty happy about! The Role of the Root in Spoken Word Recognition in Hebrew: An Auditory Gating Paradigm https://t.co/E53wfsiuG3 #mdpibrainsci via @BrainSci_MDPI

@Unjaned @XboxSupport Yeah. I did that. It worked for 1 hour.

@kbmcgowan I hear you. My Mom died 20 years ago tomorrow. Hard year.

For decades, Radio Haiti broadcast truth to power in both French and Haitian Creole. Then, its owner was slain. Now, you can listen to online archives indexed in three languages. Listen to the newest @lingopod episode on this here: https://t.co/4da6mE7ZiU

@ctdicanio @Prolific @UBuffalo I'm working on it and I think we'll eventually be able to use it. I'll share our solution.

[Richard Wright @lingprof]

I'm having trouble getting the financial people at University of Washington to let me use @Prolific I'd like to get a list of public universities in North America where people use it. Can you help?

[Richard Wright @lingprof]

UW Linguistics has an opening for an Acting Assistant Professor in Syntax! Please share!

@lisa_b_davidson @blillehaugen @mixedlinguist @KevinAbroad1 I definitely use both of both. And crayfish crawfish too. This might be because I was mercilessly ridiculed for pop, and crawfish (but not lightning bug).
