That's a wrap! Thanks so much to everyone who joined us @NCL_English for a wonderful two days. See you @SalfordUni for #NEW9!

[Northern Englishes @northernew8]

Congratulations to @neathbooth for best student poster and @grbails for best student talk! #NEW8

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

@elzejeff possible further developments: how are children's explicit and implicit social judgements linked to their developing categorical awareness of accents ...@AccentismProj #NEW8

[Kaleigh Woolford @kmwoolford]

Jeffries: perhaps fine-grained phonetic differences aren't as important when considering wider questions of accent discrimination #NEW8 @elzejeff

[Kaleigh Woolford @kmwoolford]

Jeffries: broader phonological regional accent distinctions are perceived before narrower regional distinctions #NEW8 @elzejeff

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Last but not least: Ella Jeffries @elzejeff on children's perception of monophthongal GOAT & FACE vowels from Yorkshire&Tyneside Speakers. 3-4 year old performed sbove chance levels in grouping speakers into Yorkshire/SSBE. Improvement with age & exposure to variation #NEW8

[Everyday Language @EvrydayLg]

#NEW8: @elzejeff @essexlang_ling prev @uoylangling) on children's perception of monophthongal GOAT, FACE #vowels from #Yorkshire & #Tyneside

[Dr Joaquín Bueno-Amaro @JoeBuenoA]

Time for Ella Jeffries @elzejeff to present at #NEW8. Her perceptual dialectology paper is focused on children’s perceptions of Yorkshire and Tyneside accents.

[Northern Englishes @northernew8]

It's time for our final talk! Ella Jeffries with "Children’s perception of monophthongal GOAT and FACE vowels from Yorkshire
and Tyneside speakers" @elzejeff #NEW8

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Braun: Can TUULS corpus be used to improve automatic speaker recognition? #forensiclinguistics #NEW8

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

TUULS = The Use and Utilities of Localised Speech. Aim = to investigate speaker identity on a social (group) and personal (individual) level. #NEW8

[Everyday Language @EvrydayLg]

#NEW8: Watt, French, Llamas, Braun & Robertson @UoYLangLing on TUULS Corpus for identity through perception, production, auditory/acoustic.

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Robertson: speaker mobility affects realisation of NURSE vowel in Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough #NEW8

[Northern Englishes @northernew8]

Next we have Watt, French, Llamas, Braun and Robertson with "A new corpus of Northern Englishes: Building the TUULS database for sociolinguistic and forensic research on phonetic variation in the North East of England" #NEW8

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Working class women favour supralocal variants whereas WC men favour the stigmatised variants. big trends #DECTE #NEW8

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Amand: In the Middle Class speakers women favour above supralocal variants and men the supralocal variants #NEW8

[Everyday Language @EvrydayLg]

@CorriganKaren @NCL_English @USPC_news Maëlle Amand @uspcnews outlining Principal Component Analysis as a technique for #variationist #sociolinguistics at #NEW8. Great idea.

[Phonetics & Phonology @ Newcastle Uni @PhonNCL]

Amand: FACE, GOAT and PRICE vowels in North Eastern Speakers, including group membership, using PCA #DECTE #NEW8

[Rob Drummond @RobDrummond]

Just a reminder about the @AccentismProj, set up to collect, share and highlight stories of language-based prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping. See what's there and submit your own stories via the site: https://t.co/mNJ7SxI7jX #Accentism

[Everyday Language @EvrydayLg]

#NEW8 now: Amand, Ballier, @CorriganKaren on constraints on #vowel variation in Tyneside #Geordie #English. @NCL_English @USPC_news
