I'm proud to be part of this! It's mostly the work of my great colleagues, so it's not going to be bragging to say -- it's a really great paper that you can use with students and colleagues in your lab to expand on how to conduct multimodal data collection! Read and spread the word 🤩

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... Thanks to @susfuchs.bsky.social Manfred Krifka, and Cornelia Ebert 💛 + editors + reviewers

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...

What a pleasure it was to join the Across Acoustics podcast by Kat Setzer from @asa-news.bsky.social together with @susfuchs.bsky.social We talked about our special issue on #iconicity and #sound #symbolism. It was lots of fun! Listen here: www.buzzsprout.com/1537384/epis... #langsky #linguistics

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...

W @wyborcza.pl ukazał się artykuł o mojej pracy nad ikonicznością w języku, czyli o tym, jak dźwięki i znaczenia są ze sobą powiązane w naszej percepcji, niezależnie od kultury. 👉 wyborcza.pl/7,75400,3207... #nauka #językoznawstwo #ikoniczność #polskanauka #multimodalność #langsky #linguistics

Językoznawczyni: Niezależnie od kultury większość ludzi intuicyjnie łączy obłe kształty ze słowem "bouba", a kanciaste - z "kiki"

Wbrew powszechnemu przekonaniu, że słowa są jedynie umownymi etykietami dla pojęć, coraz więcej badań pokazuje, że między brzmieniem a znaczeniem istnieją głębokie, międzykulturowe zależności. Zjawisk...

🗣💬 #iconicity #sound #symbolism I'm happy to share a special issue I had the pleasure to edit together with @susfuchs.bsky.social and Jody Kreiman. I'm very grateful to all the contributors for sharing their work as a part of this collection 🎉 pubs.aip.org/jasa/collect...

Iconicity and Sound Symbolism

Iconicity and sound symbolism – long considered peripheral to linguistic theory – have emerged as central topics in understanding how language links form and me

Watch out, here is a collection of papers on Sound Symbolism, edited by @acwiek.bsky.social, Jody Kreiman and me in #JASA with some inspiring contributions from different scholars. pubs.aip.org/jasa/collect.... More coming soon, Aleksandra and I were asked to do a podcast.

How do sounds connect to meaning? 🎙️👀 In this short video, I introduce my research on linguistic iconicity and multimodality. 👐💬 Part of #DGfS macht Schule, a video series that highlights why #linguistics matters in education. It’s in German – take a look! 🎥

Warum sprechen wir mit Kindern in einer hohen Stimme, mit Vorgesetzten aber in einer tieferen? Ist 'bouba' in allen Sprachen eher rund als 'kiki'? Warum ist das wichtig für die Schule? Alexandra Čwiek zu #Multimodalität & #Ikonizität in unserem neusten #DGfS Video auf YouTube: youtu.be/coVheXE4jsk

Another great paper from our special issue on #iconicity and #sound symbolism! There are still some more exciting papers to come and soon we will be compiling them to an amazing collection. Thanks to all the contributors! ✨

Abwechslung zwischen den Bad News: Die Luingistik hat untersucht, wie wir das gerollte R wahrnehmen (bin ja persönlich Fan von dem Laut 😄). Was das für die Frage bedeutet, wie sich Sprache einst entwickelt haben könnte, hat mir @acwiek.bsky.social erklärt.(T+) www.tagesspiegel.de/wissen/rrrrr...

Rrrrrrrrrrrr: Warum wir weltweit dasselbe bei diesem Laut fühlen

Nach welcher Logik haben Urmenschen Laute geformt? Um dem näherzukommen, testete eine Berliner Linguistin, was wir mit zwei markanten Lauten verbinden. Das Ergebnis gleicht sich über Kulturen hinweg.

I’m super happy to be featured in an article written by @evamurasov.bsky.social in the @tagesspiegel.de about our studies on R/L and bouba/kiki 💭🗯️ please look also at the great illustration that comes with it! 💥✨ www.tagesspiegel.de/wissen/rrrrr...

Words for emotions are differently connected in human groups from various regions and language families. Emotion experiences may vary across cultures. Analyzing the diverse ways that people use language can yield insights into human cognition. An interesting read! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Emotion semantics show both cultural variation and universal structure

Analysis of the terms used for emotions across a sample of 2474 spoken languages reveals low similarity across cultures.

Bill Labov died this morning. I'm not coherent enough to talk about how important and influential and brilliant he was. I am very sad. I was so lucky to know him, and I am grateful every day that he (and Gillian, and Walt, etc) built an academic field where kindness is expected.

Does sound symbolism show up in real language? Do real words for spiky things sound "spiky"? Words for small things sound "small"? I'm excited to share this new review paper summarising the existing work by myself and many others on these questions! compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Sound Symbolism in the Lexicon: A Review of Iconic‐Systematicity

Sound symbolism refers to associations between language sounds (i.e., phonemes) and particular properties (e.g., certain shapes). For example, phonemes like /m/ are associated with roundness, while p....

Some avoid cycling in wet and cold weather, but this is exactly why it’s my favorite bike commuting season! Only the most committed and agile cyclists are out these days 🥰 riding is smooth! 🚴‍♀️💨 P.S. be extra cautious about car drivers—they seem even more reckless and dangerous in this weather 😱
