@LeenaNammari Thank you so much, Leena!!! 🩷

@lucejackson Well done well done well done!! ❤️❤️❤️

I can now officially say I've completed data collection for my PhD! Ending it with 76 participants for my eye-tracking experiment. A lot of eyeballs and organisation in the making. A momentary sigh of relief before onto the next stage, analysis time!

It was lovely to present my work amongst such a supportive group of researchers, and to also hear about the exciting work going on across the spectrum of language variation and change. Thanks again to the organisers for a fantastic time!

Had a great time at #UKLVC15, held at @LancasterUni. I presented my research that looked at using large-scale corpora and real-time methods to model non-linear trajectories of sound change, and explore any social relevance for these significant timepoints of change. (1)

Very excited to be going to #UKLVC15 tomorrow. Even more excited to be taking a break from intense eyeball viewing, to be giving a talk tomorrow on Glaswegian sound change. See you there! 🙌 #GULP #sociolinguistics #linguistics #PhDlife

Another beautiful day for data collection! 👀

This week I took part in the annual #SGSAH symposium, where I was an interviewee for a live academic job interview. Really grateful for the experience and hoping it was helpful to onlookers as much as it was me!

✨Discovering dynamical laws for speech gestures ✨ ➡️ I’m delighted to announce my new article out today in Cognitive Science, where I discover simple mathematical laws that govern articulatory control in speech. 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @cogsci_soc

Another day, another eyeball. Very grateful to my wonderful guinea pigs who have tested out my various experiments. Excited for what's to come over the next few months! 👀

A different break away from the PhD this Easter, in the form of trekking the Sahara and tagine in the Atlas mountains. It was great to make new friends & to turn off for a while. Now feeling rested and ready to get back to my research, armed with my Moroccan mint tea!

We welcomed Rebecca Starr for this week's #GULPLabLunch. In a fascinating talk, she explored style commodification in China's enregisterment-rich social media. Looking at 'fizzy voice', 'clip voice' and 'ASMR' (1/2)

Today we were treated to an in person #GULPLabLunch by Ruohan from @ucl on his research. In a beautifully sophisticated experimentalndwsign, Ruohan explored style variation in L2 speakers English due to perceived listener characteristics, such as ethnicity. 谢谢 🙌🧠

There will be an online launch for the Journal on Friday (7 Feb) 1200-1300 with an introduction from the editors and brief outlines of each chapter by their authors. All are welcome! LINK: shorturl.at/nrW1W

I was on @BBCRadio4 PM show yesterday evening talking about two of my favourite topics: accent prejudice and The Traitors!! Listen here from around 51 mins : bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

🚀We have lift off! It was great to finally test out my current eye tracking experiment and pull through some data to make sure all is working fine, and for a few more tweaks to be made. A little PhD win to keep me going. And thanks to @JanetCoulson for lending her eyeball!

Could your accent make you sound guilty? A new study from @MMLL_Cambridge @JesusCollegeCam @NottmTrentUni shows that British people still associate accents perceived as ‘working-class’ with criminal behaviour. @alicepaver from @CamPhonLab explains 👇

I thoroughly enjoyed presenting my research, alongside @RShawHawkins, at the @UofGEnglishLang Research Seminar! Extremely grateful for the opportunity to take part in this event. Thanks to all for attending & for an excellent discussion afterwards 📽️ 🧠

And that's a wrap for the Christmas holidays 🎄🎅 Ended on a high with getting my pilot eye-tracking study off the ground today! This included all my 'spliced & diced' speaker stimuli, and extracted time points for the gaze analysis 👀 Excited for the break with loved ones ✌️

Had a great night with the GULP fam. Very much needed wind down after this busy term 🎅
