I realized while writing the description that while linguists automatically associate the word "ambiguity" with "fun jokes" perhaps this is not yet true for non-linguists? Anyway you can fix that by listening to this episode!

Which of Daniel Jones’s 10 secondary Cardinal Vowels is your favourite? In honour of Vowel Month we're running this highly serious poll, so vote now to make sure yours wins! Check out our latest episode to learn more about vowel sounds and accents! tumblr.com/lingthusiasm/7…

We had a lot of help making this episode! Thank you to @bethanyhgardner for making the vowel plots! Listen to our full interview with them here: x.com/lingthusiasm/s… Also special thanks to Rachel Burdin and @_roryturnbull for consultation on phonetics and instruments!

We also revisited our early metaphor of "the vocal tract is a meat clarinet" to make it even more, um, accurate? Yes, I'm sorry, the vocal tract is now (drumroll) A meat bagpipe! To make your own bagpipe model and for way more links, see the shownotes: lingthusiasm.com/post/745605428…
We sometimes make assumptions about people based on their voices, but what information are we actually paying attention to in there? In this episode, we looked at visuals of our own vowels to talk about regional accents, gender and sexuality, and more! soundcloud.com/lingthusiasm/9…

I’m especially happy to see this work in print! In a large new SPR dataset we find that surprisal values derived from next word prediction models don’t model the difficulty human readers experience when processing different sorts of syntactic ambiguity or error.

I'm cited in this article where I suggest that ideas about a 'new TikTok accent' are confused (look beyond the headline!) TL;DR: it's just HRTs + memetic discourse styles which keep the audience engaged (linked to platform capitalism) not a *new accent* bbc.com/future/article…
