- Phonologically motivated phonetic repair strategies in Siri- and human- directed speech. Presenter: Michelle Cohn

“The Five-Minute Linguist is a high-profile event which features eight LSA members giving lively and engaging presentations about their research in a manner accessible to the general public….These five-minute presentations will be judged by a panel of journalists as well as the audience itself, and a winner will be chosen at the end of the event. The goal of this event is to encourage LSA members to practice presenting their work to a broad audience and to showcase outstanding examples of members who can explain their research in an accessible way.”[www.linguisticsociety.org/content/five-minute-linguist-2019]
