Stanley, P. (2017). A Critical Auto/Ethnography of Learning Spanish: Intercultural Competence on the Gringo Trail?. Routledge

The premise that intercultural contact produces intercultural competence underpins much rationalization of backpacker tourism and in-country language education. However, if insufficiently problematized, pre-existing constructions of cultural 'otherne...

We present a new approach to the investigation of dynamic ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) data, applied here to analyse the subtle aspects of the fluency of people who stutter (PWS). Fluent productions of CV syllables (C = /k/; V = /ɑ, i, ə/) from th... Read More about How fluent is the fluent speech of people who stutter? A new approach to measuring kinematics with ultrasound.

Articulatory consequences of prediction during comprehension (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Drake, E., Schaeffler, S., & Corley, M. (2015, August). Articulatory consequences of prediction during comprehension. Presented at International Congress of Phonetic Sciences

It has been proposed that speech-motor activation observed during comprehension may, in part, reflect involvement of the speech-motor system in the top-down simulation of upcoming material [14]. In the current study we employed an automated approach... Read More about Articulatory consequences of prediction during comprehension.

Effects in production of word pre-activation during listening: Are listener-generated predictions specified at a speech-sound level? (2014)
Journal Article
Drake, E., & Corley, M. (2015). Effects in production of word pre-activation during listening: Are listener-generated predictions specified at a speech-sound level?. Memory and Cognition, 43(1), 111-120. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13421-014-0451-9

It has been demonstrated that listener-generated predictions of upcoming material can be specified to a phonological level, such that a specific word onset is anticipated (e.g., DeLong, Urbach, & Kutas, Nature Neuroscience, 8, 1117–1121, 2005). In th... Read More about Effects in production of word pre-activation during listening: Are listener-generated predictions specified at a speech-sound level?.
