does anyone in #sociophonetics know how the vowel formant training data or measurement process for DARLA and new-fave might be different? Asking for a whole pile of archival audio that's getting wildly different back-vowel values across the two. @jofrhwld.bsky.social @joeystanley.com ...?

Linguistic experience and social factors in speech perception: the case of merged speakers of Mandarin sibilants This work explores the combined effects of social expectations and a speaker’s production characteristics on the perception of alveolar versus retroflex sibilants that are variably merged in Taiwan Ma...

How are social expectations employed in cases of mergers in progress? A study of #TaiwanMandarin #sibilants finds that merged speakers may be somewhat desensitized to acoustic cues, but they readily employ social cues in speech perception. #sociophonetics #openaccess #LabPhon doi.org/10.16995/lab...

Mine is that in HAPPY vowel variation in Greater Manchester, despite the lax vowel being least prevalent in the south of the city it is very much alive and kicking in this song from one of my favourite bands (from Stockport)

New work by Melanie Weirich on #phonetic detail, #gender and #occupation. Different groups have been analysed, eg woman working as soldiers, man working in kindergarden, persons in leading positions. F0 & formant analyses have been carried out. Those interested in #sociophonetics may have a look.

disclaimers: (1) this was done quickly - sorry if I missed folks; (2) it's very anglocentric, but I did try; (3) these folk might not say #sociophonetics, but others should check them out; (4) sorry it's not a proper starter pack, but I couldn't work that out. Happy to update!
