ACOUSTICIANS ON OAHU
Late last quarter Jenny, Grant, Maho, and Jaye attended the Acoustical Society of America Conference, which took place in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Jenny, Grant, and Jaye presented a poster on “Tongue body shape during the production of Irish palatalization and velarization” (work in collaboration with UCSC alum Ryan Bennett of Yale and Máire Ní Chiosáin of University College Dublin). Maho was there to present two posters, “Acoustic characteristics of liquid geminates in Japanese”, and “Acoustics of phonation types and tones in Santiago Laxopa Zapotec” (work in collaboration with Jeff Adler).
