Massive win for perceptual learning/recalibration fans: just learned my 2024 paper was named Journal of Phonetics' “Best Early Career Scholar’s Article of the Year.” It asks how sound difficulty + variable input shape perceptual flexibility in L2 listening.

The second paper of my superstar supervisee, Sara Fernández Santos, is out in Language and Cognition. Love this work because it incorporates acoustic analysis and speech perception tasks to the study of relative-clause processing 🔥⚡️🧐

Day 2 at the LSSL (no pic this time)

🧠Spoken word recognition in bilinguals: interaction between languages. What makes bilingual spoken word recognition different from monolingual spoken word recognition? Phonological overlap, cognate words and cross-language activation.

I’ve created a website to look up phonological features (frequency, age of acquisition, neighbors) of real and nonwords. rpomper.github.io/phono/

It’s still in progress (manuscript coming) please let me know if you have any recommendations or feature requests!

In this paper, we reflect on 25 years of research into L2 phonolexical representations by highlighting theoretical and methodological challenges, providing definitions for several key terms and outlining future research directions. I hope some of you will find it interesting 😉
