Vowel & consonant duration vary inversely in Australian #Yolngu language Djambarrpuyŋu, so what’s contrastive? A pair of production & perception studies show that V length is contrastive, though both V & C duration influence perception #LabPhon #openaccess doi.org/10.16995/labphon.101…
Check out Katie Jepson's cool new LabPhon paper which teases apart the influence of vowel and consonant duration on the perception & production of phonological vowel length!
journal-labphon.org/article/…
When you're done with that, as a treat, you can also check out the paper that she and I did for SST on vowel duration patterns in contexts where length is *not* contrastive

Got carried away, more highlighting options coming soon to an R package store near you! shown here in pink for that authentic Praat feeling!
The main new thing is the 'highlight' argument for making portions of signals stand out with a different color, point size, or similar. This can be done by specifying exact times or by matching labels in a TextGrid (2/3)
In non-grant-related news, I've packaged up some tools for working with REAPER in R. (For the uninitiated, REAPER is a very nice pitch tracking tool made by David Talkin which works particularly well for non-modal speech) github.com/rpuggaardrode/rea…
REAPER is a command line tool that outputs raw text, which can be a hurdle for installing & using if you're not used to that sort of thing. The R library helps with installing & calling REAPER, importing the output to R, and converting REAPER output to a Praat-readable format
I've received funding from @Carlsbergfondet for the Category-shifting Change in Real Time Project, where I'll track small incremental sound changes with major linguistic consequences in a large longitudinal corpus! I'm very excited and grateful to be able to pursue this!
Kæmpe tillykke til alle bevillingsmodtagere👏 Såvel yngre postdocs som etablerede professorer har i dag modtaget en bevilling fra Carlsbergfondet. I alt 188 #dkforsk aktiviteter vil i de kommende år kaste nye fundamentale indsigter og opdagelser af sig👉bit.ly/4iEECg9

The Old World Conference in Phonology (OCP) is taking place at the U. of Amsterdam in 2025. And Leiden is hosting a satellite workshop on vowel harmony right before the conference, on February 4th, 2025. Submit an abstract until Dec 1st! linguistlist.org/issues/35-2… @LUCL_Leiden
PSA: R packages on CRAN now have DOIs (fx 10.32614/CRAN.package.ggplot2)! Huge development for people who want to cite R packages in papers but think regular URLs in reference lists are not aesthetically pleasing.

Hey @AstonUniversity,
Glad you're improving your staff-student ratio. However, I'd appreciate it if you didn't use my face to advertise your new hires since you actively encouraged me/my colleagues to leave or made us redundant. #Translation & #languages at Aston are now closed.
