Short YouTube video by @unibirmingham about my research interests—thanks @artsatbham for making these! youtube.com/watch?v=IHhe5uQp…
Thanks for the compliment! This was SUCH a fun project to work on, and we're super happy with how it turned out.
If you're interested in linguistic synesthesia, this is the book for you! From start to finish, it's an incredibly ambitious and comprehensive project, and one of the most exciting works I have read in a long time.

New experiment out in JASA showing that trilled [r] is matched to a rough/jagged shape in 28 languages.
Languages with trilled [r] as primary variant show a dampened effect. We discuss implications for the role of acoustics vis-a-vis articulation in sound symbolism.

New paper with 3 pre-registered experiments demonstrating that gestures can influence quantifier comprehension (project part of #FLF, led by @lordlorson with Vini Macuch-Silva & @_chris_hart)
Quick overview below 🧵⬇️

... can also be triggered via gesture, and that this has a real effect on perceivers.
We are currently in the process of following up on these experiments by testing different quantifiers, including looking how semantic factors such as monotonicity interact with gesture. ⬇️

Very proud of this research on how viewing angle (side, front, etc) impacts BSL comprehension. Excellent work by the whole team (@BodoWinter, Diar Abdlkarim) but most of the credit needs to go to the fabulous @freya_watkins_
