A cinefluorographic study of uvular consonants in Swedish and West Greenlandic. Poster presented at the conference From Sound to Sense

This poster concerns the articulation of uvular consonants with particular reference to quantal aspects of speech production. Data from X-ray motion films are presented. Two speakers of Southern Swedish give examples of [R], and one speaker of West Greenlandic Inuit gives examples of [R] and [q]. Traditionally, uvular consonants are said to be produced by articulating the dorsum against the uvula.

Right- and left-edge boundary tones in syntactic processing

This study presents evidence from event-related potentials for the use of both right- and left-edge boundary tones as cues for syntactic structure during online speech processing. A temporal model for the neurophysiological processing of prosodic features is outlined.

Efter festen: Om konsten att utvecklas från doktor till docent

Postdoktorns utsatta position har lyfts fram i ett antal utredningar, rapporter och debatter de senaste åren. Otydliga karriärvägar och osäkra anställningsförhållanden är några av de kritiska faktorer som identifierats och som riskerar att äventyra framtida kompetensförsörjning inom svensk forskning och utbildning. I Efter festen lyfts den ofta ohörda postdoktorala rösten fram, genom diskussion k

Limit properties of the monotone rearrangement for density and regression function estimation

The monotone rearrrangement algorithm was introduced by Hardy, Littlewood and Po ́lya as a sorting device for functions. As- suming that x is a monotone function and that an estimate xn of x is given, consider the monotone rearrangement xˆn of xn. This new estimator is shown to be uniformly consistent. Under suitable as- sumptions, pointwise limit distribution results for xˆn are obtained. The fra
