A landmark study shows this one habit can slow brain ageing by half This common mental challenge is "blood, sweat and tears" for your brain.

Research shows that #bilingual & #multilingual individuals are roughly half as likely to show signs of early #ageing.

#BrainHealth

Language shapes everything, from how we think to how we connect and innovate.

Linguists are essential to understanding communication, and to creating ethical, responsible AI. We need more linguists.

Interested in applying for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026?

I'd be very happy to support postdoctoral researchers in co-developing a proposal in Aix-en-Provence, France, on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of inner speech.

I’m going to put this out there - I have some funds to run lab experiments involving prosody and segmental articulation. I’m happy to collaborate with people who want to do this work but don’t have much funding, especially given the federal funding catastrophe.

Experimental priming of phonological variant identification In conversational speech, it has been observed that speakers tend to reuse the variant that they have recently used. This recency effect, also called 'persistence' or 'repetitiveness', has often been ...

Speakers often reuse the variant they've recently used in conversational speech. Does #priming drive this repetitiveness? A study on English ING demonstrates clear #phonological variant priming—but the effect decays rapidly, after only 1 intervening word. #openaccess #LabPhon doi.org/10.16995/lab...

Disentangling acoustic and social biases in creaky voice perception: The effects of f0 and face gender on creakiness ratings Creaky voice has historically been associated with men’s speech, supported by acoustic studies. Since around 2010, however, sociolinguistic work alongside public discourse has perpetuated greater crea...

Women are often associated with #creakyvoice. Do listeners actually hear them as sounding creakier? A #matchedguise study finds that lower pitch makes voices sound creakier, but face gender has little effect, casting doubt on this posited perceptual bias. #LabPhon #openaccess doi.org/10.16995/lab...

Phonetic correlates of prefixedness in four varieties of English Studies show that phonetic detail signals morphological structure. Previous studies of English prefixes examined one dialect and speech style, and/or measured only duration. This study examines phonet...

In ordinary conversation are 'mis' and 'dis' pronounced differently in prefixed than in nonprefixed words, like 'mistimes' vs. 'mistakes'? Yes! but phonetic details differ by dialect, syllable structure, stress patterns & other factors. #LabPhon #openaccess doi.org/10.16995/lab... @jbhay.bsky.social

Listeners use their knowledge about a speaker to guide #speechperception. How do familiarity with a speaker’s dialect & predictability of the dialect a speaker uses impact processing? ERP results show accent info is used to fine-tune speech recognition. doi.org/10.16995/lab... #openaccess #LabPhon

Timing lag matters in native speakers' perception of Georgian stop sequences This study tests the hypothesis that timing lag is part of phonological knowledge, investigating Georgian speakers’ perceptual recoverability of C1 consonantal gestures in stop-stop sequences. We hypo...

In languages like #Georgian, words can begin with complex C1C2 stop-stop sequences (gd, bg). Do their speakers rely on the timing of the 2 consonants to accurately recover C1? Results suggest timing lag is in #phonological grammar. #LabPhon #openaccess @efl-upcite.bsky.social doi.org/10.16995/lab...
