I am a third year doctoral student in the linguistics program at Stanford University. I hold a masters degree from York University, where I explored intraspeaker variation within a tight-knit non-binary transgender community of practice.

Vowel realization and stanceworkPrior work has found that vowel frontness (F2) correlates with affective stances (Eckert 2010, 2011; Podesva et al. 2015; Podesva forthcoming; Wong 2014), with fronter vowels marking positive affect and backer vowels marking negative affect. If this correlation is truly reflective of a sound symbolic or embodied link to positive-negative dimensions, then we should expect other stances measured along such poles (like alignment) to exhibit similar patterns. My current work explores this possibility, looking at vowel realization in dyadic interactions where alignment and stancework is prevalent.
