When a talker repeats the same vowel sequence 34 times in quick succession, a good phonetician simply can’t let that opportunity pass.

The volume includes chapters by me & Lauren, Meredith Tamminga, @kbmcgowan.bsky.social, @abbyjwalker.bsky.social and Teresa Pratt; if you're a socio-curious phonologist/phonetician (or a phon-curious sociolinguist), this book was written for you!

One thing about being a phonetician, as opposed to say, a plumber, is that I can't just quit my job and show up in Dublin or Toronto and try to find work. Also, my job pays less than a plumber and is less useful to people. That's three things.

if you want to impress a phonetician with your conglang? give it sounds above 20kHz or a vowel space that ranges from 8k to 12k or voiced velars and uvulars with no voiceless counterpart

I believe you already know, but Ian Maddieson (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Mad...) passed away this Sunday ☹️. He was an amazing person, typologist and phonetician and we will miss him a lot. Personally, he was one of the few who in 2007 didn't laugh at the idea that genes might affect linguistic tone.

I'm not a phonetician but I am an #rstats and #ggplot stan, and it was really fun making some Lingthusiasm-themed vowel plots! The recording is a patreon bonus episode, but the vowel plot tutorial code is on GitHub:

It can be hard to hear subtle differences between vowels, so linguists also make visual versions of them
We talk with Dr Bethany Gardner about how they plotted 400 vowels from previous Lingthusiasm episodes onto a graph to show how our accents differ!
