Thanks to #ICPhS2023 putting the plenary talks online, and @justinjhlo letting me know, I was able to hear this gem from the talk I missed:

(It's a harbour #seal saying like "hey!" and "come over here!" in working class New England English and it's brilliant.)

I've done an impeccable U-turn and downloaded the full #ICPhS2023 proceedings, and what I really would like to know is why it's already the *second* edition!?

Also if you're desperate to know the page numbers of your papers (eg to update CVs) but don't want to download the whole 875MB brick, let me know and I'll be happy to look them up.

You know what, I truly enjoyed #ICPhS2023, and a lot more than I'd expected to.

Maybe still it's the adrenaline talking, but I'm not as drained as I'd expected as well.

Can't wait for #ICPhS2027 @ Victoria, Canada!

Pour celles et ceux que ça intéresse, les diapos de la présentation de Mathilde à #ICPhS2023 intitulée "/R/ lenition in Quebec French: Evidence from the distribution of 9 allophones in large corpora" sont disponibles en ligne! Avec Mélanie Lancien, elles y montrent que le /R/ du français québécois est en train de rapidement changer et prennent un #snapshot de l'évolution en cours!

It is the BEST THING EVER to see someone investigate a research question you've always had, but do it better than you could've ever done.

Check out Melanie Weireich and Adrian Simpson's #ICPhS2023 paper, "Changes in parents' phonetic parameters during the first year of a child's life: A comparative study of German and Swedish"

Fascinating correlations, and lack thereof, between femininity self-rating of fathers and mothers, and their f0 production over time.
