Catching up after LAGB

I was away most of last week at the annual Linguistics Association of Great Britain meeting (held in Manchester this year). I had a great time, catching up with friends, meeting new ones, hearing some really cool papers and organising my pecha kucha night (which went really well, as good as I could have hoped for, even though there were few participants). My presentation is here.

Since then I've been catching up. To make up for the lack of posts, here's a bonanza of '40 fascinating lectures for linguistics geeks'.

I'm at LAGB from tomorrow until Saturday. I'm not presenting in the main session but I'm hosting a pecha kucha night on Friday, which I am giving a pecha kucha in. More on that later, and I'll post a link to my talk.

For now, here's a really interesting-looking research project you can take part in. It says in the blurb that it's
a research project looking into the way in which people associate different vowel sounds with different colours, and whether accent has any influence on this association. 
and that it takes 10-15 minutes to complete. More information at the project site.
