Thank you. That worked. Although I opened Praat again later on and the saving window showed as normal.

Out of a sudden, my Praat "save as textfile" command shows this screen instead of the usual one with the whole folder path. Does anyone know how to revert this? I can't work it out.

The atlas of Andalusian accents (data from the 50s)didn't find vowel lowering in the provinces of Cadiz or Huelva,but I am finding evidence of it and of vowel harmony all over Cadiz.It's difficult to know if it's a new development or if it wasn't picked up in the previous atlas #Linguistics #Langsky

Yes. This survey closes at the end of June, as it's only a pilot. Voiceform lets you do the same type of audio survey as Phonic.

Not in this case. The survey doesn't collect any identity-related information like name, contact information, address or email. Answers are grouped by town or region to see patterns of accent variation depending on geographical area of origin.

The ancestor of the word 'girl' meant "child of any gender".

Its meaning later narrowed to "young female human".

The meanings of words change over time. This is called semantic drift.

Click my new graphic below to see five examples of narrowing.

Tomorrow we'll look at the opposite: widening.

Depende, para este proyectohttps://acentosandaluces.com/ hice publicaciones en redes sociales, anuncios con una empresa de publicidad, y un montón de emails y llamadas a ayuntamientos. Conseguí unos 4700 participantes al final pero fue un currazo.

I reckon is all about how they identify themselves 😃 my current research areas are related but not the same as what I did in my thesis.

Alright, Bluesky! I have a paper on a case of Latin gender agreement in the #ICZN in Article 30-34 that I am looking for eyes on before submitting. Any one interested in pre-review feedback?

#Latinists, #medievalists and #linguists help too!
