Linguistic Evidence Suggests that Xiōng‐nú and Huns Spoke the Same Paleo‐Siberian Language
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 29-52, March 2026.Abstract The Xiōng‐nú were a tribal confederation who dominated Inner Asia from the third century BC to the second century AD.

It has been argued that the Xiōng‐nú spoke an Iranian, Turkic, Mongolic or Yeniseian language, but the linguistic affiliation of the Xiōng‐nú and the ...

Are articulations integrated in the perception of vowel height? [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991 Using the Garner paraidgm [W. Garner (1974)], Kingston [Phonetica (in press)] demonstrated that the acoustic effects of differences in velum height (the frequency separation of the nasal pole and zero =nasalization) and rate of vocal fold vibration (fundamental frequency) which covary with tongue height in vowels are integrated perceptually with the ...

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 91-116, March 2026.Abstract In Welsh, in certain tenses, unique forms of the verb for ‘be’ are used in positive clauses. These specialised forms of ‘be’ are incompatible with positive main‐clause declarative complementizers, despite their apparent featural compatibility. For most speakers, they are also blocked from if‐clauses; although, I report on data regarding their ...

Laboratory PhonologyThis paper explores cue-weighting in the production of vowel height contrasts in children’s first words. Specifically, it investigates the role of the first formant (F1) and the fundamental frequency (F0) in signalling these contrasts and how their use ...

The Journal of American Culture, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 19-29, March 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines the use of promotional interviews (“promos”) in American professional wrestling of the 1980s. I argue that promos introduced a vocal modality into a form of sports entertainment that, as Roland Barthes ([1957] 1972) showed in Mythologies, had always been dominated by visual spectacle. I then undertake a focused linguistic

Feature specifications and contrast in vowel harmony: the orthography and phonology of Old Norwegian height harmony [PDF]
, 2019 In this thesis, I provide a new approach to the role of phonological patterning in determining the featural content of phonological relations and the size and shape of sound inventories. The empirical scope of this project has particular focus on vowel

Phonetic Distinctiveness vs. Lexical Contrastiveness in Non-Robust Phonemic Contrasts
Laboratory Phonology, 2016 It is known that the mid vowel contrasts of Standard Italian distinguish few minimal pairs, may be lexically variable, and show some degree of phonological conditioning in certain varieties.

More limitations to monolingualism: Bilinguals outperform monolinguals in implicit word learning
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 To succeed at cross-situational word learning, learners must infer word-object mappings by attending to the statistical co-occurrences of novel objects and labels across multiple encounters.
