Dear all,, one of my M1 students is recruiting participants for two online listening experiments. We are looking for native speakers of English, aged 18–50, with no reported history of speech, hearing, or neurological disorders. Participation is entirely voluntary and unpaid.

Participants needed from Amman/Zarqa Jordan to participate in a perception experiment by my student Sana (unpaid experiment, sorry!). Please share widely and participate if you fit the criteria (see advert for more details) Direct link: jatos.mindprobe.eu/publix/KufoG4mldME Thanks for your help.
Just realised I missed a good opportunity to make a "formal phonology" joke.
We are so back

In #speechperception, listener expectations, e.g. about how sounds produced by men & women differ, can influence phoneme categorization. Do #L2 listeners use expectations about speaker gender even for contrasts absent from their #L1? #LabPhon #openaccess @isf-oeaw.bsky.social doi.org/10.16995/lab...
Listeners use speaker gender information in non-native phoneme categorization
Speaker gender is known to affect phoneme categorization, and this effect is especially well-established in fricative perception: For example, in /s/-/θ/ categorization tasks, more /θ/ responses are g...

this is very bad staffers are being asked to see if grants in the pipeline can be "'mitigated' to avoid running afoul of any presidential directive"

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
When running ANOVAs in #R, use car::Anova(). aov() and anova() use Type I sums of squares, meaning that order matters, which can distort results in unbalanced designs. car::Anova() is safer because it uses Type II sums of squares by default), each effect is adjusted for all the other effects.

Call for Papers: On Saturday, September 27, 2025, following the main AMP session held on September 25-26, 2025, there will be a special session on "Deep Phonology: Doing phonology with deep learning" held on the UC Berkeley campus. Phonology has been modeled using rules, constraints, finite state machines, exemplars, and many other approaches. Recent advances in deep learning have prompted researchers to explore how deep neural architectures (e.g., seq2seq models, transformers, RNNs, LSTMs

Ian was such an inspirational mentor to me, both academically and athletically. He was always so sweet and so English. He will be greatly missed.
I am very sad to learn of the death of Ian Maddieson (on Sunday, Feb. 2). He was a creative thinker, an inspiring linguist, and a wonderful colleague who made a big difference to me intellectually and personally.

NIH study sections were paused last week, today NSF panels are pausing. And NYU sent out this email today. We all know how "temporary" these measures end up being (ahem, much like NYU put up "temporary" barriers to block access to publicly used plazas last year that are--surprise!--still there)
