The first two issues of American Speech in 2018 feature several members of the LVC lab! The February 2018 issue includes Jason McLarty’s article “African American Language and European American English intonation variation over time in the American South“, which is work that comes out of his second qualifying paper at UO.

In the May 2018 issue, Charlie Farrington, Tyler Kendall and Valerie Fridland published “Vowel dynamics in the Southern Vowel Shift.” This work comes out of Tyler and Valerie’s production/perception study, and was Charlie’s second qualifying paper.

Appearing in the same issue, Charlotte Vaughn, Tyler Kendall and Kaylynn Gunter’s article, “Probing the social meaning of English adjective intensifiers as a Class Lab Project” was included as part of the annual Teaching American Speech section.

And lastly, Charlotte and Tyler’s paper, “Listener sensitivity to probabilistic conditioning of sociolinguistic variables: The case of (ING)” will be included in the December 2018 issue of the Journal of Memory and Language. It is available online now!
