hllizi Which is cool when you're in love with the status quo. Being which is the essence of conservatism, if the term has a meaning. twitter.com/defsophiaray/s…

I love morphology, and what I love most about is avoiding it :)
@hllizi Also, wenn in "Ein Hund läuft einer Katze nach und die Katze einer Maus" "die Katze einer Maus" eine Phrase ist, bin ich on board.
hllizi Das ist überhaupt nicht wahr.

_roryturnbull My hunch is that "spectral listeners" are more likely to have the "yanny" percept, while "f0 listeners" are more likely to have the "laurel" percept. (You can see our missing fundamentals paper here: www2.hawaii.edu/~rory9/papers/… ) /9
_roryturnbull The big question is why do some people hear one and not the other, and why is it so hard to flip? Part of this is likely due to audio hardware - laptop speakers, fancy headphones, cheap headphones, background noise - but I think there's a cognitive dimension too. /6
_roryturnbull The fall of the F2 between the two syllables is then consistent with an /n/, although we don't see the general amplitude dampening that we normally associate with nasals. The F2 rises and F1 falls again at the end, resulting in /jæni/ overall. /4
_roryturnbull But what if we treat that higher spectral prominence as an F2, rather than an F3? Then we have a very high F2 in the first syllable, consistent with a front vowel or approximant, e.g. /j/. The F2 stays pretty high and the F1 gradually rises, giving a percept of /jæ/. /3
_roryturnbull Okay, this is a pretty amazing auditory illusion. Here's what I think is going on. In the first syllable, there's only one major spectral peak below 2.5kHz. It has a wide bandwidth, which is consistent with an F1 and F2 very close together: an /ɑ/ (for "Laurel"). /1 twitter.com/janesolomon/st…
