(I'm even migrating my first toot from the other instance over to here:)

It feels too daunting to come up with my first toot. No one seems to be condemning #vocalfry over here in the fediverse, which is why I joined the birdsite back in the day I'm a #phonetician #linguist #cognitivescientist, currently studying the #phonetics of #ʻŌleloHawaiʻi (#Hawaiian)

Here's a soft #introduction before my migration from joeystan@mstdn.social is complete.

Hi, I'm Joey. I'm a #linguist, more specifically a #sociolinguist and #phonetician, at #BYU. I do research on American English accents and dialects, with most of my recent focus being on #UtahEnglish.

I also think about methods and quantitative stuff a lot within the area of #sociophonetics. I like #rstats and #dataviz.
