Title: Individual differences in the production and perception of prosodic boundaries in American English Abstract:
I present the findings of my dissertation which investigated the hypothesis that individuals vary in their production and perception of prosodic boundaries, and that the properties they use to signal prosodic contrasts are closely related to the properties used to perceive those contrasts. A group of native speakers of American English participated in an acoustic study and subsequently an eye-tracking study that examined production and perception of three acoustic properties related to Intonational Phrase (IP) boundary: pause, pitch reset, and phrase-final lengthening. The results showed individual differences to a substantial degree, and offered limited evidence of a production-perception relation: a trend was observed in which individuals with longer pause durations were faster to fixate on the IP boundary target than those with shorter pause durations.
Congratulations to the following graduate students who completed their degrees in 2020!

We have a new group of students in Ling 375 and 475 honing their hands-on research skills:
Chloe Webb, Olivia Luces, Andrés Dorado Solarte, Ashton Freed, Tyler Schnoor, Lydia Samis, Anna Ryjenkova, and Taryn Yaceyko (375); Lindsay Chopiuk, Emily Matishak, and Natasha Daley (475)
We are happy to announce four new Ling 375 students: Malieka, Jasmine, Kylee, and Rupi. Please make them feel welcome as they begin their training in the lab.
The final day for student research participation is December 7, 2016. Researchers will be able to post timeslots after this date, however, students who sign up will not receive credits for participating.
We’re excited to announce our next CCP meeting presenter, Dr. Lynn McQuarrie. An associate professor in the department of Educational Psychology at the University of Alberta, Dr. McQuarrie investigates factors that affect language and literacy outcomes for deaf and hard of hearing learners and how sign language (ASL) as L1 facilitates learning a spoken/written language (English) as L2. All are welcome to attend the meeting on Friday, November 25 at 1:00 in Arts and Convocation Hall room 103.
We’re excited to announce the arrival of 5 new button boxes for the researchers at the CCP. Available for immediate use, they will benefit researchers collecting time-sensitive responses using any of our experimental software, including eprime, experiment builder or open sesame.
