Speech Neurophysiology in Realistic Contexts: Big Hype or Big Leap?
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 12, June 2026.Speech neurophysiology is moving from controlled listening tasks to dynamic, socially rich interactions, challenging traditional methods. This shift promises deeper insights into how the brain processes and represents speech in real‐world contexts, while introducing new analytical complexities.

Vowel harmony and vowel merger in Agoi
Studies in African Linguistics, 2003 This paper describes the vowel harmony system and patterns of vowel merger in Agoi, an Upper Cross language. Data indicate that a once fully operative system of vowel harmony has now been generally restricted to the non-high vowels, with a few residual instances of II u/-determined harmony. The evolution of this change is described.

Vowel harmony and vowel alternation in Mayak
Studies in African Linguistics, 1999 Like several other Western Nilotic languages, the Mayak variety of Northern Burun has two sets of vowels distinguished by the feature [ATR], the [-ATR] vowels [I, E, a, i, u] and the [+ATR] vowels [i, e, A, 0, u]. However, the mid [+ATR] vowels [e] and [o] are variants of the mid [-ATR] vowels /e/ and /i/ conditioned by a following high I+ATR] vowel ...

How Flexible Are Grammars Past Puberty? The Case of Relative Clauses in Turkish‐American Returnees
Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 391-424, June 2026.Abstract How flexible are grammars after puberty? To answer this, we test returnees: heritage speakers (HS) born in an immigration context who returned to their homeland in later years. If returnees are targetlike, then language is still malleable after puberty; in contrast, if maturational effects are in play, postpuberty returnees will show ...

Vowel Harmony in Papuan Languages
Abstract This chapter reflects the current descriptive and typological asymmetry of vowel harmony (VH) in Papuan languages by presenting two cases of ‘unbounded’ VH: Amele and Umbu-Ungu, and four cases where harmony is more local: Mian, Ngkolmpu, Komnzo, and Kaera.
