If you are interested in f0, have a look at the new paper from our lab on f0 across generations in 717 German speakers. pubs.aip.org/asa/jel/arti...
Register effects of imagined addressees on f0 across generations
This study analyzed fundamental frequency (f0) data from 717 German speakers, collected via the Plapper smartphone app, to investigate phonetic variation as a f

Iconicity and Sound Symbolism - Across Acoustics
For a long time, it was believed that words were mostly arbitrary symbols. However, with advances in our ability to study speech, it has become clear that we must reconsider the fundamental relationsh...
