Ran my thesis through iThenticate, just to be certain.
I regret to inform you that I am a plagiarist who has copied such specific phrasing as "June", "the", "of", "and", and this sentence:
It's so weird how there's a real dip in how good a mechanical keyboard sounds as the price goes up. But then you hit absurd pricing and it sounds better again
For example, here are two F0 plots from a dataset I'm working on at the moment. In order to make all the male sets comparable, I want the lower and upper limits of the y axis to be the same for every graph.
On the left, I have used coord_cartesian(ylim=c(70,160)). This looks like a fairly normal mid-level tone contour. The fact that the creaky one is lower is no surprise, but the difference is important for analysis.
On the right, it's just ylim(70,160). The difference between these two plots is *huge*. And any analysis would be similarly different.
I know a lot of people probably know this. But, I think it's an important PSA for people.
These are both GAM smoothed averages of multiple speakers producing multiple tokens. I don't know if the difference is as stark with other sorts of plots, but good to keep in mind regardless.
