open access: yesAnglophonia, 2020
This paper looks at intra-speaker phonetic micro-variation patterns in four dyads, recorded in the 1980s in the working-class community of Glasgow. We present the importance of this kind of interaction-based variation in sociolinguistic studies, since ...

Correlating features in the primordial spectra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Heavy fields coupled to the inflaton reduce the speed of sound in the effective theory of the adiabatic mode each time the background inflationary trajectory deviates from a geodesic. This can result in features in the primordial spectra.

Large Scale Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies and Dark Energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In this note we investigate the effects of perturbations in a dark energy component with a constant equation of state on large scale cosmic microwave background anisotropies. The inclusion of perturbations increases the large scale power.
