New publication! 🎉
28 Jun 2025I am delighted to share that our article Exploring the Relationship Between Mental Boundary Strength and Phonetic Accommodation is now published in Language and Speech. 🥂 🍾 The article is available online. #openaccess 🔓
📖 In this study, we explore whether individuals with thinner mental boundaries are more likely to phonetically adapt to their conversation partners. Our results suggest that speakers may accommodate to different types of phonetic features depending on their personality structure.
👀 We look forward to further research investigating how individual personality differences influence accommodation behaviour — for example, using the German Boundary Questionnaire version we provided.
