I am an undergraduate student at the University of Florida planning to conduct an experiment through the UF School of Music, measuring instrumentalists' ability to recognize resonance in the vocal tract of the sung voice (commonly known as "ring").  However, I am in need of a dataset of singers, in which they sing with varying degrees of "ring." Guidance as to how I could obtain such a dataset would be greatly appreciated. To be clear, I am hoping to utilize an already existing dataset, as oppos

Le hobyot, langue sémitique (groupe sudarabique moderne), est parlé par quelques milliers de locuteurs dans l’est du Yémen et dans le sud du Sultanat d’Oman. Sans tradition écrite et menacé d’extinction à court terme, le hobyot a été très peu décrit. Cette étude fournit la première description linguistique complète de la langue, sur la base d’une recherche de terrain spécifique. La phonologie est traitée en détail, formant la base d’une transcription rigoureuse. La morphologie (en particulier ve

The Soviet authorities denied the Besermans the right to self-identify. For decades, their language was dismissed as merely a dialect of Udmurt, a closely related language spoken by a different ethnic group. Only in 2021 was Beserman officially recognized as a separate language—by then, some fifteen years had already passed since intergenerational transmission had come to an end. This grammar demonstrates why such recognition matters. Drawing on many years of fieldwork within the Beserman commu

This volume brings together Gregerson’s fieldwork in Vietnam’s Kontum Province (1968–1974), conducted in collaboration with Rengao speakers Paul Hyum and Andre Ir. The outcome is a sketch grammar, a dictionary of more than 6,000 entries, and a rich collection of texts. Rengao, a North Bahnaric language within the Austroasiatic phylum, stands out for its typologically rare tense–lax phonological contrast—still of uncertain origin—and for its remarkably vivid “expressive” lexicon of onomatopoeic,

The theory proposed in this book enables linguists to explain how utterances are formed in individual languages and why languages differ in how they denote events and states that may appear physically identical. The formation of utterances is guided by the principle of functional transparency, which consists of three components: 1. Transparency of the utterance’s role in discourse, 2. Transparency of the functions selected from the set coded in the grammatical system of the given language, 3

In addition to introducing a denotational meaning, utterances often convey an expressive meaning, that provides information about the speaker or the judger. This volume collects original research papers on the semantics and pragmatics of expressive meaning in interaction with speech acts, and on the way that these two domains are encoded in syntax. By covering a broad variety of well-known and new expressive phenomena –including non-lexical datives, tense, modality, expletive negation, minimizer

This volume sheds light on the complex nature of affect expression by investigating its various linguistic, cultural and social manifestations. Divided into two parts, it first explores affective phenomena from cognitive, comparative and cross-linguistic perspective, offering novel insights into the conceptualisations and expression of affect, i.e., emotions, moods, feelings in languages such as Tok Pisin, Vietnamese, Chinese, Polish, or Romanian. In the second part of the book, the authors vent
