New paper alert!

Very excited to see this paper published in Cognition. This paper is a follow up to my 2018 article examining the lexical selection processes involved in dialect word selection. Here, I replicate the between-dialect interference effect previously observed for Scottish and English words but using American and British words, which allowed for a comparision of effects across modalities.

ESCOP 2019

Recently, we presented some of our results investigating the origin of codability effects and dialectal representations at ESCOP in Tenerife. These results challenge recent theoretical claims from Nozari & Hepner (2018). They also shine additional light on how dialectal alternatives are stored and activated during production.

Speaking about dialects at the ISSR Forum

Thank you, Aberdeen!

Had a brilliant time taking part in a panel discussion about the distinction between dialects and langauges, hosted at the University of Aberdeen by the Aberdeen University Linguistic Society.  Fantastic to see so many people interested in the status of Doric.
