Passing the Torch Methods and Innovation N W A V 4 7 New York University October 18-21, 2018 Welcome New York University hosted its first NWAV in 2005. Thirteen years later, my colleagues Greg Guy and Laurel MacK- enzie, the NWAV Organizing Committee, and I warmly welcome you to NWAV 47. New York City continues to excite the senses with its wide array of sights, sounds, and experiences. We hope you appreciate the intellectual engagement that NWAV offers and while here, enjoy a taste of the “Big Apple”. We are particularly excited to share NWAV with our friends and colleagues at the Graduate Center at CUNY. This year, we have two themes for NWAV 47. The secondary theme, Passing the Torch, can be thought of as motivat- ing the primary theme, Methods and Innovation. This year, we reflect on revered senior colleagues who have recently retired or will soon retire. While they continue to be productive scholars, they have opened up spaces for the field to take stock of their contributions, and further contemplate new and renewed areas for scientific inquiry and social ap- plication. NYU’s very own John Singler retired recently, and on Thursday evening, we will salute him and some of our other esteemed colleagues. Our Saturday night plenary will be a public lecture by John Rickford on “Class and Race in the Analysis of Language Variation and the Struggle for Social Justice: Sankofa,” indicating to us that his retirement will give him the opportunities to create anew, again gracing the field with innovative ways of seeing and being. Erez Levon’s plenary, “The Systematicity of Emergent Meaning,” transforms ways of thinking about theory and analysis through interdisciplinary connections that both inform and are informed by sociolinguistics theory. The NWAV 47 organiz- A W V ing committee felt it important to offer a series of workshops that reflect its own N 4 7 intellectual diversity and interconnectedness with the inclusion of computational sociolinguistics, experimental sociolinguistics, and psycholinguistics. In addition to the 6 workshops on Thursday, there are 136 papers, the exact same amount as NWAV 34. Posters have increased to 46 from 30. And while there are no panels, there are 3 lunchtime workshops that address areas that have grown important to our field: the application of our work to industry and public domains and the refinement of the tools integral to our discipline. The variationist sociolin- guistic community has remained strong and continues to strive, and because of Passing the torch Methods & this the submission of quality papers was far greater than we were able to accom- Innovation modate. This year the NWAV Organizing Committee, following the lead of the LSA, replaced student paper and poster prizes with best student abstract awards. Winners received a cash prize, sponsored by the Philadelphia NWAV Committee, and free conference registration. There was a two-way tie. Congratulations to Kayla Palakurthy (UC Santa Barbara), and Jacob B. Phillips and Paige Resnick (University of Chicago). Nine student travel awards were also offered this year with the goal of enhancing the strength of linguistics through the inclusion of underrepresented populations. Again, welcome to New York. Welcome to NYU. Welcome to NWAV 47. Enjoy the conference, the breaks and the social gatherings. On a personal note, this conference is because of the students, faculty, colleagues, communities, publish- ers and donors that have considered and continue to consider this a worthy endeavor. We thank you all. -Renée Blake We wish to add that NWAV 47 operates under NYU’s commitment to equal treatment and opportunity for all and to maintaining an environment that is free of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and harassment.

This nasalization is known to lead to changes in perceived vowel quality. The goal of this project is to verify if it is beneficial to first recognize nasalization in vowels and treat the three groups of vowels (those occurring before nasal consonants, those occurring after nasal consonants, and the oral vowels which are vowels that are not adjacent to nasal consonants) separately rather than collectively for recognizing the vowel identities. The standard Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) paradigm have been used for this purpose. The results show that when the system is trained on vowels in general, the recognition of nasalized vowels is 17% below that of oral vowels.

Address all correspondence and submissions (up to three poems, three drawings or photographs, or prose selections up to 5,000 words) to Editorial Staff, Crosscut magazine, Department of English, Husson College, One College Circle, Bangor, ME 04401. ii Preface The mere thought of spring brings to mind together- ness and renewal. Rivers of melting snow and ice form tributaries, finding each other and crossing paths, flow- ing together to free themselves from their stagnant form. The once-frozen paths weaving throughout our Maine woods shed their white armor, heartedly inviting pairs of treaded footprints to meet along their crossing journeys. Gloves and mittens are tossed in the closet for another year, allowing loved ones to entwine their hands into one another’s as they venture out into the fresh new season. Over the years, Crosscut has become a powerful symbol of spring in just this light. The poetry, prose, and imagery in each of its contributor’s art flows together, melting movement and life into the freshly printed pages. Its readers, in turn, breathe in each stir of emotion and new image formed, feeling renewed and refreshed.

    An Examination of Oral Articulation of Vowel Nasality in the Light of the Independent Effects of Nasalization on Vowel Quality

    DOI: 10.17469/O2104AISV000002 CHRISTOPHER CARIGNAN An examination of oral articulation of vowel nasality in the light of the independent effects of nasalization on vowel quality In this paper, a summary is given of an experimental technique to address a known issue in research on the independent effects of nasalization on vowel acoustics: given that the separate transfer functions associated with the oral and nasal cavities are merged in the acoustic signal, the task of teasing apart the respective effects of the two cavities seems to be an intractable problem. The results obtained from the method reveal that the independent effects of nasal- ization on the acoustic vowel space are: F1-raising for high vowels, F1-lowering for non-high vowels, and F2-lowering for non-front vowels. The results from previous articulatory research performed by the author on the production of vowel nasality in French, Hindi, and English are discussed in the light of these independent effects of nasalization on vowel quality. Keywords: vowel nasality, vowel quality, articulation, acoustics, sound change. 1. Introduction A traditional characterization of vowel nasality adopts a seemingly binary classification of vowel sounds based on the relative height of the velum: nasal vowels are produced with a low velum position (and, thus, air radiation from both the oral and nasal cavities), where- as oral vowels are produced with a high velum position (and, thus, air radiation from the oral cavity alone). While it is unquestionably true that nasal vowels are produced with a lowered velum, this traditional characterization carries an implicit assumption about the state of the oral cavity for the production of a nasal vowel, i.e., that the nasal vowel maintains the same articulatory characteristics as its non-nasal counterpart in all aspects except for the height of the velum.

Phonetic Enhancement and Three Patterns of English a-Tensing Abstract English a-tensing has received numerous treatments in the phonological and sociolinguistic literature, but the question of why it occurs (i) at all and (ii) in seemingly unnatural disjunctive phonological environments has not been settled. This paper presents a novel phonetic enhancement account of a-tensing in Philadelphia, New York City and Belfast English. I propose that a-tensing is best understood as an allophonic process which facilitates the perceptual identity and articulatory ease of nasality, voicing and/or segment duration in the following consonant. This approach unifies the apparently unnatural phonological environments in which the two a variants surface and predicts the attested dialectal patterns. A synchronic account of a-tensing also provides

Strassel and Charles Boberg University of Pennsylvania 1 Introduction One of the most important variables for characterizing and distinguishing American English dialects is the phoneme /'iJ:./, or "short-a", the sound of mat, mass and man. Many dialects have two main allophones of l'i1:-/: a tense ['iJ:.h], characterized by phonetic raising along the outer perimeter of the vowel space and the development of a central in-glide; and a lax, monophthongal ['iJ:.] more or less in the position of cardinal ['iJ:.]. In some dialects these allophones have split into two phonem~. Labov (1991:12), in putting forth a tertiary typology of English dialects, calls this split one of two "pivot points" in American English. Some of the oldest American dialects, those on the Atlantic Coast and in the South, have tense /'iJ:./ in a restricted set of environments, most commonly before front nasals, voiceless fricatives and varying subsets of the voiced consonants.
