I'm looking for a host institute to apply for a grant on the application of computational methods in the phonetics-phonology interface. I'm planning to combine this with in-person perception experiments. Interested? Or know someone who might be? Let me know 😊 #linguistics #phonetics #langsky
Stopped in Hangzhou for a few days before onwards to Seoul for a conference, found the Praat manual on my way (I had to get it) #linguistics
Travel cards for the first part of this summer are matching 🦆
Got into CorpusPhon this year! I will also attend LabPhon to check out the programme 😊 More details on my talk on Korean Corpus analysis to come~ #linguistics
Busy learning physics for an analysis (help) and the realisation that they also argue a lot about basic definitions comforts but also concerns

Saw these little guys in Paris, big fan. (Japan, Edo period)
OK who are these spicy reviewers for labphon and is it appropriate to ask why they think it's ok to dismiss an abstract as "unprofessional" and "careless" just for using "etc."? Uhhh well I won't be seeing anyone in Montreal... #linguistics

Resorting to LinkedIn to find participants, times are tough #linguistics
Anyone here going to Interspeech and wants to do a student a big favor? He was accepted & paid, but ultimately cannot leave the U.S. due to ongoing fascism (he’s on a visa). They will pull his paper if he can’t find anyone to present it for him. DM if you’re attending & may be able to help!
Our paper "Robustness of F0 Ratio as a Diagnostic: Comparing Creaky Voice in Danish and Seoul Korean" has been accepted into Interspeech 2025 #langsky #linguistics
I always forget how crazy Amsterdam is during tourist season 😭 the small suitcase army
The interactive kid's dancepad in Utrecht Centraal is playing lacrimosa, and you bet the kids are going wild dancing to it
Dutch universities go on strike - for the first time since anyone can remember. We protest the treatment and budget cuts of our extreme-right government. The strikers take turns - and Leiden university kicks off tomorrow. ✊🏼
WOinActie.bsky.social@woinactie.bsky.social · last yr.Here is tomorrow’s program. We’re meeting at 11 a.m. at the Garenmarktplein in Leiden. The program starts at 11.30. The teach outs are throughout the day in The Hague and Leiden: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...
“If we lose all of our funding, our academic support staff — who are disproportionately women and people of color — lose their jobs,” said Nicole Holliday, a UC Berkeley linguistics professor who will speak at the rally. “So do our janitors.” #StandUpforScience2025 sfstandard.com/2025/03/07/b...
Local scientists are pushing back against Trump's federal funding cuts

Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why? If you know of any such cases, please tell us (and share the link with your language and linguistics contacts)! elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/13...

🛑 the cutbacks on research and higher education. Powerful full page ad in national papers and online, signed by 511 members 🙋 of the (young) Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences. “Government, don’t ruin what makes our country successful”
This afternoon, I learnt that our demonstration, planned for tomorrow, was cancelled. We had expected at least 5000 students, teachers and scholars to protest against the budget cuts. It's an absolute clusterfuck, and I have many questions. Here's what I shared with our local group::
The Dutch government has planned severely destructive budget cuts to higher education and research funding. Please protest with us! Consider signing this petition to show support from abroad: www.change.org/p/stop-cuts-...
