Very excited that a recent article I co-authored with Dr James Grama and Professor Catherine Travis of Sydney Speaks has been accepted and published online with the Voice and Speech Review! Our article is titled “Australian English Over Time: Using Sociolinguistic Analysis to Inform Dialect Coaching”, and brings together acoustic vowel data spanning forty years to examine the changes in Sydney English, and how this can apply to coaching of Australian accents. This is my first research publication, and I’m thrilled to be able to share this after all our hard work.
You can access the full article here. It’s a lengthy read, but if you do read it, I would be keen to hear your thoughts on it!
