P&P 2024 (October 1-2, 2024)
03 Oct 2024The conference on phonetics and phonlogy in the German-speaking region (P&P) โ Phonetik und Phonologie im deutschsprachigen Raum โ was once again a fantastic opportunity to catch up with colleagues. The team around Sven Grawunder did a great job hosting the meeting at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Halle/Saale, Germany. ๐
I was delighted to present joint work with my former UCD Masterโs student Jiaman He on The Influence of Visual Context on the Perception of Voice Assistant Gender. This work explores whether listeners perceive Apple Siriโs gender-neutral American English voice Quinn as neutral and if visual context influences this perception. ๐ The full paper is to appear in the conference proceedings. ๐
