------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Johannes von Moltke is a Professor of German Studies and Screen Arts & Cultures at the University of Michigan. He teaches and researches the history of German cinema, with a particular interest in our shifting understanding of film and more recent media. His latest book, The Curious Humanist, explores the encounter between German and American intellectual traditions through the figure of Siegfried Kracauer, the film theorist and critic who fled the Nazis in 1933 and spent the last quarter century of his life in New York, where he wrote several important books about film. Most recently, Johannes has been thinking about how the media (and media theorists) have changed our notions of what it means to be human.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

The Deutschtisch for Spring 2017 is associated with German 100, but all are welcome! The group will meet Mondays and Wednesdays 12:15-1:00. You can find the group with your ears (i.e. listen for a group of people speaking German). Look for the group at Beanster's Cafe on the ground floor of the Michigan League (typically the group will meet here) OR occasionally on Mondays with good weather, in the "Courtyard Garden" of the League, across from UHS (one way to get to it would be to go directly through the League from the front doors (facing the Bell Tower) to the back doors). ALTERNATIVELY, you can come to the end of the morning class session at 12:00 in Room 2106 MLB and then walk to lunch with the group.

There will always be at least one instructor present; in the first half of the Summer semester, that will be Shubhangi Dabak or Julie Gruber.

All interested German speakers are welcome!

If you are taking German 232 in the Summer, you can make up 2 "A&P Tally" points by attending. Just ask one of the instructors present to let your instructor(s) know you were there.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

The Deutschtisch for Spring 2017 is associated with German 100, but all are welcome! The group will meet Mondays and Wednesdays 12:15-1:00. You can find the group with your ears (i.e. listen for a group of people speaking German). Look for the group at Beanster's Cafe on the ground floor of the Michigan League (typically the group will meet here) OR occasionally on Mondays with good weather, in the "Courtyard Garden" of the League, across from UHS (one way to get to it would be to go directly through the League from the front doors (facing the Bell Tower) to the back doors). ALTERNATIVELY, you can come to the end of the morning class session at 12:00 in Room 2106 MLB and then walk to lunch with the group.

There will always be at least one instructor present; in the first half of the Summer semester, that will be Shubhangi Dabak or Julie Gruber.

All interested German speakers are welcome!

If you are taking German 232 in the Summer, you can make up 2 "A&P Tally" points by attending. Just ask one of the instructors present to let your instructor(s) know you were there.

Deutschtisch (August 9, 2017 12:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/40838 40838-8799222@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 12:15pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

The Deutschtisch for Spring 2017 is associated with German 100, but all are welcome! The group will meet Mondays and Wednesdays 12:15-1:00. You can find the group with your ears (i.e. listen for a group of people speaking German). Look for the group at Beanster's Cafe on the ground floor of the Michigan League (typically the group will meet here) OR occasionally on Mondays with good weather, in the "Courtyard Garden" of the League, across from UHS (one way to get to it would be to go directly through the League from the front doors (facing the Bell Tower) to the back doors). ALTERNATIVELY, you can come to the end of the morning class session at 12:00 in Room 2106 MLB and then walk to lunch with the group.

There will always be at least one instructor present; in the first half of the Summer semester, that will be Shubhangi Dabak or Julie Gruber.

All interested German speakers are welcome!

If you are taking German 232 in the Summer, you can make up 2 "A&P Tally" points by attending. Just ask one of the instructors present to let your instructor(s) know you were there.

Givenness and the Said Construction - Alicia Stevers
Information within a discourse is introduced in a way that reflects the speaker’s assumptions about the knowledge of the hearer. Theories of discourse often label information that the hearer is expected to know at the time of utterance as “given” information. However, different discourse theories have argued that a wider or narrower range of phrases should be considered given, based on whether they contain information that has been explicitly mentioned, inferred by something previously stated or assumed to be in the hearer’s consciousness by common world knowledge (Chafe 1967, Haviland & Clark 1974, Chafe 1976, Kuno 1978, Prince 1981, 1992, inter alia). One construction that seems to interact with notions of givenness is the Said Construction (SC). SC is characterized by the use of said as a determiner, followed by a noun (N2) that seems to be given (in some sense) and licensed by an antecedent noun (N1): “I made a turkey sandwichN1 for lunch but I left said sandwichN2 on the kitchen counter.” A close examination of SC seems to show that said can only be used to refer to something that has already been stated or is linguistically entailed by the discourse. With this in mind, looking at information structure through the lens of this construction can provide a new perspective into some of the less solidified and conventionally agreed upon details of the notion of givenness.
I present the results of two studies on SC. The first is a corpus based analysis based on a collection of 261 tokens found across a variety of genres such as fiction, spoken language, written news, historical documents, blogs, and social media. The results of this analysis reveal a strong tendency for SC to refer to information that is given due to linguistic context. The second study tested the results of the first analysis by gathering native English speakers’ judgements of the grammaticality of SC in various informational contexts. Results show that participants are most likely to rate said as acceptable in an environment with a linguistically stated referent. The results of these experiments point towards the idea that in order to account for SC’s relationship with information in a discourse, a definition of givenness that is limited to linguistic context and excludes extralinguistic information (such as situational context and world knowledge) is necessary.

"People say, 'Omarosa is Black, Omarosa is a Woman,' I'm an American First." :
Omarosa and Hyperarticulated /t/ - Rachel Elizabeth Weissler
Multiple scholarly treatments have argued that released or hyperarticulated /t/ indexes intelligence, is used in more professional contexts, and indexes emphasis and strength in discourse (Bucholtz 1995, Podesva 2006, Eckert 2008b). Podesva et al’s (2015) study on released /t/ demonstrates that even in a subject pool balanced for gender, race, regional accent, and political affiliation, women politicians use final and medial released /t/ more than their male counterparts. Additionally, Podesva et al (2012) show that among many features that former Secretary of State Condoleezza “Condi” Rice uses to construct her identity, 72% of her final /t/’s are released.
The current study looks at the speech of conservative politician Omarosa Manigault and her use of hyperarticulated final /t/ in the construction of her identity. This study shows that variable proportions in how final /t/ is articulated function as an index that allows speakers significant performative flexibility. Though Condi and Omarosa are both black female conservatives, they are very different kinds of conservatives. While Condi has worked in academia and politics her entire career, Omarosa has no formal training in politics, worked briefly in the office of Al Gore during the Clinton Administration, and now works for President Donald Trump, who she forged a relationship with during her stint on The Apprentice. While Condi’s speech reflects “neutrality and standard language” (Podesva et al 2012), Omarosa’s speech indexes a different kind of conservative performance, one rooted in a more populist framework through which she can appeal particularly to African Americans, since working with disenfranchised groups is central to her current role, while also appealing to the American Public at large as a political figure.
The data consist of word-final /t/ realizations within a 15-minute interview of Omarosa on The View, in which she discusses a myriad of topics including her role as assistant to President Trump and director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison, her upbringing, the African American community, and her marital engagement. Realizations of final hyperarticulated /t/ were auditorily coded, with a total number of 41 realizations of hyperarticulated /t/ relative to 40 /t/ unreleased realizations. Overall, Omarosa hyperarticulated 50.6% of the time in this interview.
I show that Omarosa’s use of both hyperarticulated /t/ and unreleased /t/ can be linked to specific factors such as particular socio-lexical items (buzzwords from the Trump administration), target audience (the African American community versus America at large), and spontaneous speech versus more prepared remarks. This variation endorses the conclusion that realizations of a feature can vary based on speaker’s opinions about the topics being discussed (Schilling-Estes 2004). Through the calibrated use of these variants of /t/, Omarosa indexes intelligence and professionalism, as has been found in previous research. However, her choice to use unreleased /t/ while discussing certain topics such as her upbringing in the projects, or her fiancé allows her to index a more populist stance, thereby constructing an identity designed to resonate with multiple
audiences.

Abstract:
Linguistic illusions have provided valuable insights into how we mentally navigate complex representations in memory during language comprehension. Two notable cases involve illusory licensing of agreement and negative polarity items (NPIs), where comprehenders fleetingly accept sentences with unlicensed agreement or an unlicensed NPI, but judge those same sentences as unacceptable after more reflection. Existing accounts have argued that illusions are a consequence of faulty memory access processes, and make the additional assumption that the encoding of the sentence remains fixed over time. This paper challenges the predictions made by these accounts, which assume that illusions should generalize to a broader set of structural environments and a wider range of syntactic and semantic phenomena. We show across seven reading-time and acceptability judgment experiments that NPI illusions can be reliably switched ‘‘on” and ‘‘off”, depending on the amount of time from when the potential licensor is processed until the NPI is encountered. But we also find that the same profile does not extend to agreement illusions. This contrast suggests that the mechanisms responsible for switching the NPI illusion on and off are not shared across all illusions. We argue that the contrast reflects changes over time in the encoding of the semantic/pragmatic representations that can license NPIs. Just as optical illusions have been informative about the visual system, selective linguistic illusions are informative not only about the nature of the access mechanisms, but also about the nature of the encoding mechanisms.

Organized By: Graduate Rackham International

In 1922, philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein declared that “the limits of my language mean the limits of my world." With the globally-connected community at the University of Michigan in mind, we invite you to an exploration of the cross-cultural academic expressive production that accompanies thinking and writing from a non-English background. Taking the University of Michigan as a case study, we hope to engage questions of scholarship and public expression incubated in the globalized environment that is the contemporary American university. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of English as a Second Language or as a lingua franca, we seek a discussion around scholarly expression in a multicultural, globalized academia. How does an American academic culture of expression interact with the increasingly international body of authors on campus? And, can non-normative writing paradigms find footing in American academia? Please join us for a scholarly conversation on multilingualism and the pleasures and difficulties of translation.

Samer Ali (Near Eastern Studies)
Miranda Brown (Asian Languages & Cultures)
Ana Morcillo Pallares (Architecture)

Abstract:
Machine learning, the use of nuanced computer models to analyze and predict data, has a long history in speech recognition and natural language processing, but have largely been limited to more applied, engineering tasks. This talk will describe two more research-focused applications of machine learning in the study of speech perception and production.

For speech perception, we'll examine the difficult problem of identifying acoustic cues to a complex phonetic contrast, in this case, vowel nasality. Here, by training machine learning algorithms on acoustic measurements, we can more directly measure the informativeness of the various acoustic features to the contrast. This by-feature informativeness data was then used to create hypotheses about human cue usage, and then, to model the observed human patterns of perception, showing that these models were able to predict not only the utilized cue, but the subtle patterns of perception arising from less informative changes.

For speech production, we'll focus on data from Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA), which provides position data for the articulators with high temporal and spatial resolution, and discuss our ongoing efforts to identify and characterize pause postures (specific vocal tract configurations at prosodic boundaries; Katsika et al. 2014) in the speech of 7 speakers of American English. Here, the lip aperture trajectories of 800+ individual pauses were gold-standard annotated by a member of the research team, and then subjected to principal component analysis and discrete cosine transform. These analyses were then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, which achieved a 94% classification accuracy in cross-validation tests, with a Cohen's Kappa showing machine-to-annotator agreement of 0.978, suggesting the potential for improvements in speed, consistency, and objective characterization of gestures.

These methods of modeling feature importance and classifying curves using machine learning both demonstrate concrete methods which are potentially useful and applicable to a variety of questions in phonetics, and potentially, in linguistics in general.

PhonDi Discussion Group: The influence of power priming on gender and sibilant perception (September 22, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44803 44803-9980573@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 22, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract

Contemporary literature suggests that listeners use auditory and visual gender cues during /s/-/ʃ/ categorization. This study builds upon previous research on sibilant categorization by investigating whether self-perceived power, “an individual’s relative capacity to modify others’ states by providing or withholding resources or administering punishments” (Keltner et al. 2003), can serve as a mediating factor in gender and linguistic perception. Social processing seems to show some sensitivity to one's degree of self-perceived power - high-power individuals tend to attend less to information in conflict with their expectation of another according to the other’s social category. (Goodwin et al. 2000). I report whether gender cue congruity and the participant's primed degree of self-perceived power shapes the outcome of /s/-/ʃ/ categorization.

Participants were primed for a high or low degree of self-perceived power and completed a forced-choice identification task. During each trial, participants saw an image of a face and heard one of a continuum of words ranging from "shy" to "sigh"; they indicated whether they heard "shy" or "sigh". A mixed logistic regression revealed that participants overall were significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a male voice (p<0.001) and male face (p=0.01). Participants primed for low-power were also significantly more likely to respond “sigh” when a given voice was paired with a male face, relative to when it was paired with a female face (p<0.001) . Participants primed for high-power, however, were not significantly more likely to respond “sigh” for a given voice according to what face was paired with it (p=0.4). As hypothesized, the responses of high-power participants showed less sensitivity to gender cue congruity than did those of low-power participants.

Linguistics Colloquium: Style in a second dialect: Topic- and stance-based variation among mobile speakers (September 22, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41730 41730-9446508@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 22, 2017 4:00pm

Style in a second dialect: Topic- and stance-based variation among mobile speakers

People often change the way they speak after moving to and living in a new region. Mobile speakers do not simply "lose" an old accent or "gain" a new one, however; instead, they alter specific dialect features depending on a range of linguistic, social-attitudinal, and developmental factors (e.g. Payne 1980; Chambers 1992; Kerswill 1996; Evans & Iverson 2007; Nycz 2013). Studies that compare the overall “acquirability” of multiple features reveal how linguistic competence may evolve as a result of exposure to new input, and can help us develop better theories about the representations and processes underlying these changes (Nycz 2013, 2015; Walker 2014). But if we want to understand more broadly how communicative competence (Hymes 1972) can develop over the lifespan, we must look at how speakers use both old and new dialect forms in interaction. To this end, I examine topic-and stance-based stylistic variation in the speech of Canadians who have been living long-term in the New York City or Washington D.C. regions, focusing on how they use regionally varying vowel features to express views about their first home (Canada and/or their hometown) as well as their adopted one (The United States and/or their new city). I find that these speakers exhibit gradient shift towards U.S. norms for all vowels analyzed, as well as stylistic variation in regional stereotypes or markers associated with both their first region and their current one. Specifically, positive or alignment stances towards Canada are associated with raising in (aw) (as in about and house), while negative and distancing stances are associated with lower (aw) nuclei; no effect of style is found for (ay), a vowel which similarly differs across regions but does not carry similar social significance. Similarly, positive or alignment stances towards New York City are associated with higher (oh) (as in coffee), but only among new New Yorkers; no style effect is found for (o) (as in copy). These results suggest that mobile speakers continue to exploit the socio-indexical links in their native dialect while also learning and using new links in their adopted dialect – but only if those links are sufficiently socially salient.

Abstract

This presentation explores the outcomes of long-term cross-language transfer effects on different domains of bilingual phonological grammar. Our study focuses on a unique Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual community that has lived in Patagonia, Argentina since the early 1900’s. In this presentation, we will focus in particular on the production of voiced and voiceless plosives by the Afrikaans-Spanish bilingual speakers in comparison to productions by control L1 Spanish speakers and non-Spanish speaking L1 Afrikaans speakers. Our findings suggest that there are L1-to-L2 transfer effects in especially the production of voiced plosives in the speech of the Afrikaans-Spanish bilinguals (i.e., Afrikaans influences their Spanish). We contrast these findings with our previous research on the durational properties of vowels, which showed L2-to-L1 (but not L1-to-L2) transfer effects for the same group of speakers. Altogether, our findings speak to the malleability of pronunciation patterns in bilingual speech, especially in situations of close long-term contact where the L2 becomes the dominant language.

Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text
2017 Graduate Student Conference
Germanic Languages & Literatures at the University of Michigan
September 29-30
Keynote Speaker: Sean Franzel (University of Missouri)
Presented in Conjunction with the Ann​ual Grilk Lecture: Celia Applegate (Vanderbilt)

During the 1980s German media theorist Friedrich Kittler published a series of highly influential books and essays outlining a materialist approach to literary and cultural history, one freed from hermeneutic fantasies of immediacy and focused instead on the medial conditions that made thought possible in the first place, the hardware that enabled it to be recorded, processed, and transmitted. Over the last few decades, scholars in German, Film, Music, and Literary Studies, and beyond, have continued to expand on Kittler’s initial insights into the material nature of sound, image, and text, and the medial operations they entail. Both borrowing from and looking beyond Kittler, this conference seeks to explore productive points of contact between contemporary media theory, on the one hand, and the literary and cultural histories of mediation, remediation, and intermediation, on the other.

From Herder’s origins of language and Kant’s public sphere to Nazi propaganda and Siegert’s Kulturtechniken​ , media and mediation have remained central concepts for understanding German modernities. Social and political transformations, in conjunction with technological innovations around 1800/1900/2000 exerted pressure on​ ​existing notions of sound, image, and text and vice versa: this feedback loop serves as the springboard for our conference, “Mediating the Modern: Sound/Image/Text.”

Sean Franzel of the University of Missouri will give the conference keynote address on Friday afternoon, September 29. Preceding the conference, participants will also have the opportunity to attend the annual Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies, given by Celia Applegate, on Thursday evening, September 28. Professor Applegate will conduct a workshop for University of Michigan graduate students and conference participants on Friday morning.

Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract

Since the Bare Phrase Structure was proposed, ‘projection’, ‘endocentricity’ and ‘label’ have become just stipulation. In Chomsky (2013), based on the simplest Merge, he argues that ‘label’ must not be formed in narrow syntax and it must be captured by the third factor principle, i.e., labelling algorithm. This exocentric, search-based system gives rise a new problem: how to label the exocentric structures without any stipulation in narrow syntax? In this talk, I will present one possible solution in the case of infinitival clauses. Based on Epstein, Kitahara and Seely (2016), I argue that external pair-Merge of phase heads to non-phase heads derives de-phasing effect (a cancellation of phases). The consequences of this analysis are also discussed such as ‘grammatical’ derivations for some cases of improper movement, including tough-constructions in English, hyper-raising in Japanese, and Merge-over-Move principle in terms of labelling.

Inference of population structure and demographic history of indigenous populations from Africa

Dr. Hiba Babiker
Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Jena
 
Africa contains one-third of the world’s languages and its populations have the highest genetic diversity compared to the rest of the world. Focusing on indigenous populations from Africa has the potential to reveal past demographic events and to provide insights into human adaptation and disease susceptibility in Africans and populations of African descent. My talk will explore the genetic variation of Northeast African populations and recent findings from genome-wide analysis of the Dogon populations from West Africa. These findings shed light on the coevolution of languages and genes and highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research in decoding unanswered questions in the human history.

From Backward to Forward: Intensive Curriculum and L2 Proficiency Outcomes (October 5, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44326 44326-9908893@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 5, 2017 1:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Language Resource Center

As global demands for ever-higher proficiency outcomes continue to rise, and local resources for domestic instruction diminish, language educators strive to create environments and curricula that can produce proficient students within economic and pedagogical constraints. Drawing on the experience of the National Language Flagship model and research in intensive instruction, this paper presents a model of instruction that incorporates standards-based reverse curricular design, flipped classroom, and a multi-tiered instruction/assessment plan that attempts to address issues of time/budgetary constraints and proficiency. Examples of in-class and out-of-class materials will be provided, as well as samples of student outcomes from this kind of curriculum.

PhonDi Discussion Group: Structured variation in the production and perception of sibilant fricatives (October 6, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45137 45137-10095879@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 6, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract

The acoustic-phonetic properties of speech sounds vary substantially across languages, and across talkers within a single language. While many factors contribute to this variation (e.g., sociolinguistic, physiological), there is considerable evidence that acoustic-phonetic variation is highly structured among speech sounds. Structured variation of this type can be observed in the covariation among vowels in the F1xF2 vowel space, as talkers form relatively congruent, but shifted vowel spaces (e.g., Joos, 1948; Nearey, 1978), as well as in the covariation of talker mean voice onset time among aspirated stop consonants (e.g., Chodroff & Wilson, 2017). The presence of covariation reveals constraints on permissible variation in language- and talker-specific sound systems (e.g., Liljencrants & Lindblom, 1972), and may be exploited in generalized perceptual adaptation to novel talkers.

In this talk, I will examine the predictions of two constraints on phonetic implementation that could give rise to covariation across talkers. The constraints are formalized as target uniformity, which requires similar (or identical) phonetic realization of a distinctive feature value within a talker, and contrast uniformity, which requires a comparable phonetic difference in sounds that contrast in a feature across talkers. Evidence from several case studies of sibilant fricatives implicates target uniformity, but not contrast uniformity as a constraint on phonetic realization.

I will also discuss the implications of phonetic covariation for perceptual adaptation to novel talkers. Covariation indicates mutual predictability among speech sounds, such that evidence from one speech sound could be used to infer properties of a second speech sound. I present evidence that perceptual knowledge of phonetic covariation is consistent with many patterns of generalized adaptation, but general auditory factors (e.g., spectral contrast) may have primary influence on short-term adaptation.

This week we will be discussing the fourth chapter of Battison's (1978) book Lexical Borrowing in American Sign Language. In this chapter (Loan Signs from Fingerspelled Words), she discusses the borrowing of English words into ASL via the morphophonological adaptation and semantic alteration of fingerspelled representations of English lexical items. Battison’s (1978) work is not the most modern resource on this topic, but it is a classic, and its analysis is both thorough and informative.

PhonDi Discussion Group: Positive Attitudes Through Better Comprehension: The Role of Perceptual Adaptation in Accent-Based Discrimination (October 13, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/45544 45544-10228834@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 13, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract:

It has been argued that language, including accent, is one of the last domains in which discrimination is widely acceptable, and that language discrimination is a “back door” to discrimination on other traits like nationality, ethnicity, and gender (Lippi-Green, 2012). Accent discrimination resulting from negative attitudes linked to stereotypes of social groups is well-recognized in sociolinguistic research (Dragojevic & Giles, 2016; Gluszek & Dovidio, 2010). More recently, researchers have begun to assess how perceptual fluency, or the effortfulness that listeners feel in understanding accented speech, affects attitudes towards speakers. Disfluent perception, the experience associated with effortful information processing, leads to negative emotions and attitudes toward that information (Alter, 2013; Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009), and disfluent perception of an unfamiliar accent leads to negative evaluations of the speaker (Dragojevic & Giles, 2016). Yet listeners have a robust ability to adapt to and understand highly variable speech patterns, as shown by improvements in comprehension of non-native speech with listening experience (Baese-Berk, Bradlow, & Wright, 2013; Bradlow & Bent, 2008; Sidaras, Alexander, & Nygaard, 2009). Thus, to the extent that negative attitudes are the result of difficult comprehension, attitudes should improve with adaptation.

To test this hypothesis, participants' pupil dilation (a physiological measure of cognitive effort), self-reported ease of comprehension, and attitude ratings were measured over the course of a listening experiment. Pilot data show that pupil dilation decreases with experience with a non-native accent, indicating decreased listening effort. Over the same period, ratings of the speaker on warmth traits (e.g., "kind", "friendly") improved significantly. However, self-reported ease of understanding did not change. These results provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that attitudes improve as a result of easier comprehension, even though participants' do no report being aware of this improvement in comprehension.

Location: Lorch Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract:

The concept workspace increasingly makes an appearance in syntactic theory, yet it is rarely well defined, and its theoretical and empirical significance has often been overlooked. I identify at least two extant species of workspace prevalent in the literature, and I suggest an unattested formulation. I consider how differing instantiations of the workspace interact with other derivational apparatus such as Minimal Search and the Extension Condition. I also explore how the properties of the workspace may have empirical consequences for phenomena such as Merge-over-Move/Move-over-Merge effects. Other empirical domains which have the potential to be connected to properties of the workspace are also discussed.

Linguistics Colloquium: The intersection of prosodic context, pitch, and gender in the identification of creaky voice (October 13, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41731 41731-9446509@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 13, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: Department of Linguistics

Abstract

Creaky phonation in American English has been observed both in a prosodic role as a phrase-final marker (Kreiman, 1982; Slifka, 2006), and sociolinguistically as a characteristic of the speech of certain groups (Henton & Bladon, 1987; Mendoza-Denton, 2011). While creaky phonation has been discussed both in the linguistic literature and in the popular press, it is unclear how accurately naïve listeners can detect creaky voice, and what factors facilitate or hinder its identification. Three possibilities are considered: (1) listeners’ identification of creak in American English may be modulated by acoustic properties of speakers’ voices not related to their gender, (2) listeners may be biased to attribute creaky phonation to women even when it is also present in male speakers, or (3) they may identify creak equally among all speakers. In this study, American listeners are presented with two experiments containing stimuli from both high- and low-pitched male and female speakers. Other manipulations include whether or not the utterance is a full sentence, and whether the utterance is completely modal, completely creaky, or partially creaky (final 40-50% of the utterance). A robust finding is that listeners are least accurate on partial creak, suggesting that creaky phonation is least salient when it serves as an utterance-final marker. There are no strong effects of gender aside from a weak tendency to identify creak more often for females than males in the whole creak condition in one experiment. In contrast, when no creak is present, listeners false alarm on the low-pitched males. Overall results indicate that rates of identifying creak in male and female speakers are relatively similar, but prosodic properties and acoustic characteristics such as F0 interact with how well listeners can recognize creaky vs. modal speech.
