The prosody of cheering in sports events: the case of long-distance running
Since cheering has not yet been systematically investigated from a phonetic perspective, this study explores its acoustic characteristics by focusing on a specific type of cheering: inciting calls dir...

Ever thought there can be word internal pauses??? Yes, it is possible. Work by Ludger Paschen
New study just out in Linguistic Typology on word-internal pauses in 44 languages! We found that pausing within word units is surprisingly common cross-linguistically, especially around prefixes. Check out the paper for all the details! (Open Access!) www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...
The ubiquity of word-internal pauses
This paper presents a cross-linguistic survey of 738 word-internal pauses in 44 languages from DoReCo, a multilingual corpus of spontaneous speech. Word-internal pauses are attested in a variety of co...

New paper in @openmindjournal.bsky.social "Scope and limits of iconic prosody." It all started in 2018. First results at CogSci 2019, then for my PhD. This is a complete re-analysis! doi.org/10.1162/OPMI...

The Scope and Limits of Iconic Prosody: Head Angle Predicts f0 Changes While Object Size Effects Are Absent
Abstract. The relation between the fundamental frequency of the voice (f0) and vertical space has been shown in previous studies; however, the underlying mechanisms are less clear. This study investig...

Do you even need visual social cues to trigger speech register effects? Imagining to address a friend vs a policeman is enough to change speaking style (f0 in this case).

This could be the start of an exciting initiative to further research on data-efficient and developmentally plausible LMs. It's a great resource of 45 more or less carefully curated datasets for diverse languages (with 16 fillers which require substantial expansion) ― More contributions are needed!
Preprint alert! We release BabyBabelLM, a multilingual benchmark of developmentally plausible training data. I was responsible for German and Polish data as well as various child-directed wikis. Immensely rewarding project with exceptionally cool co-authors. 🥳🚀
