Phonetic sharesies

General issues of personal research productivity aside, I'm fairly well known in my field. Sometimes liked. Even vaguely respected sometimes. Part of that is being the student of who I am the student of, and part of it is the fact that until recently I have never (and still rarely) turned down the opportunity to do peer-reviews for journals. "Always make nice-nice with editors" has long been one of my mottos.

Something else that comes up occasionally is that I'm actually kind of good at what I do, and helping others do it. To that end, I have a shareable dropbox folder I cal Px Sharesies where I put phoneticky stuff that might be of interest to colleagues.

At this point, some people will point out that my professional website hasn't actually been updated in close to 10 years, but we'll just gloss over that for the nonce.

The contents of Px Sharesies (px='phonetics', one of the many jocular abbreviations and acronyms I use, and sometimes even coin, regularly) grows occasionally, and not everyone I know who might care knows them.  Maybe I'll put them in a list someday.

Ax cheats.xlsx

Excel spreadsheet with multiple pages:

• A short cheat sheet for calculating variations on c=fL and uniform tube resonances
• A spreadsheet for generating nomograms for a simple two-tube C/O-C/O model as a function of combined length and speed of sound
• A table for converting 100s of Hz to Bark (Zwicker, Traunmueller, and Traunmueller corrected for high and low Bark)
• A table with information for generating Bark-warped F1/F2 grids for plotting vowels

Bark-warped grid for vowel plots.pdf

PDF document. A page-sized graphic of a bark-warped F1/F2 grid for graphing vowel formant spaces. Based on the table in ax cheats.

sones.xlsx

Excel spreadsheet. A random table with μPascal-dB-sones equivalents (sones calculated via formula), with level descriptors (barely audible, whisper, city bus, etc.). I had to look up μPa to dB and/or dB to sones once, and built the table so I wouldn't have to keep doing it, but I don't think I've used it since. Not even sure where I got my loudness equivalents. Bad scholarship, but there it is

Coming soon (fsvo soon)

A very rough draft of some of the activities from my prospective workbook for acoustic phonetics

This being a public blog post, I don't want to just post the link, but if you have any use for any of this, send me a DM and I'll send you the link.
