Purpose
Typically developing children assigned male at birth (AMAB) and children assigned female at birth (AFAB) produce the fricative /s/ differently: AFAB children produce /s/ with a higher spectr.....

Hi!
I am excited to enter this space as a researcher and speech-language pathologist. I enjoy learning and experimenting about the interactions between speech production, linguistics, and technology. Especially considering cultural and linguistically diverse populations.

NIH indirects case update:
Hearing ongoing now, and I'll try to live tweet some notable exchanges.
Prior to more detailed arguments, Judge Kelley starts off with a few point questions to both sides:

I'm excited to share our new study on cross-modal iconicity from our special issue in JASA! We show [r] is rough and [l] is smooth even in languages that conflate them within one phoneme. The effect is even stronger than the bouba/kiki effect!
The alveolar trill is perceived as jagged/rough by speakers of different languages
Typological research shows that across languages, trilled [r] sounds are more common in adjectives describing rough as opposed to smooth surfaces. In this study

Noticing that SPEECH SOUND DISORDERS enthusiasts tend to put #ssd in their bios. ℹ️ #ssd largely a k-pop tag, short for
