rewatched Arrival because my friend hadn't seen it before, and just...gosh. every time I cannot help but get lost in studies & general related language concepts...

like, it wasn't just a silly sci-fi plot device, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is a very real thing. The language you speak, and the metaphors it uses to measure time, ABSOLUTELY have an effect on how you yourself experience time.

what was doubly interesting: they even noticed that bilinguals' experience of this phenomenon actually depends on how proficient they are in the language!!! Just as in the movie, she could not experience the heptapods "gift" until she became proficient in their language!!!!

Points of time, floating around like a nebula, past present & future all happening simultaneously...

me when my mom says italian only has 5 vowel sounds and i hit her with that "actually there's 7 🤓☝️ there's two o's and two e's" and i show her the difference between /ɛ/ and /e/ using my phonetics class drills 😭

I hate physics, and yet consistently I have greatly enjoyed all of my Speech Science (aka the physics of speech/sound) classes both in undergrad and grad. How does that even make sense????

Having to solve logarithmic equations in my speech science class makes me feel betrayed by my beloved speech science

Scientists Give Voice to a 3,000-Year-Old Mummy

Have you listened to the recreated voice of the ancient Egyptian mummy yet?

There is a lot that science can tell us about ancient cultures and civilizations, but for all the advancements we can make, one element—often thought to be lost forever—is sound. How did ancient people talk? What did their voices sound like? One would need a time machine to truly find out.

Or maybe just a 3D printer.

Day 8

More algorithms today, plus a little speech science (we’re doing acoustics atm) to spice things up. I stopped by the library in the morning, because a book I had requested a few weeks ago had finally arrived, so I now have three books on loan from the library and no time to read any of them. Maybe over the weekend?
