Situating Experience in Social Meaning: Stance, Salience, and Enregisterment

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article uses mixed methods to establish how social meanings are situated in lived experiences. I test whether Greek listeners recognize features of Istanbul Greek (IG) and whether they associate the same social meanings with the variety as IG speakers. Results from a verbal guise experiment and metapragmatic stancetaking discourse suggest

Removing the Disguise: The Matched Guise Technique, Incongruity, and Listener Awareness

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociophonetic perception is often studied using versions of the matched guise technique (MGT).

Testing covariance separability for continuous functional data

open access: yesJournal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
Analyzing the covariance structure of data is a fundamental task of statistics. While this task is simple for low‐dimensional observations, it becomes challenging for more intricate objects, such as multi‐variate functions. Here, the covariance can be so complex that just saving a non‐parametric estimate is impractical and structural assumptions are ...

Retroflexion and retraction revised [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Arguing against Bhat’s (1974) claim that retroflexion cannot be correlated with retraction, the present article illustrates that retroflexes are always retracted, though retraction is not claimed to be a sufficient criterion for retroflexion.

Abstract This study examined the influence of cognate status and language distance on simultaneous bilingual children's vocabulary acquisition. It aimed to tease apart effects of word‐level similarities and language‐level similarities, while also exploring the role of individual‐level variation in age, exposure, and nontarget language proficiency ...
