The lab is moving again!! (by my count, this would be #8?). But this time, it's going to be one for the memoirs: We're moving overseas, to the University of Grenoble, near the Alps mountains in France! The lab director has accepted a professor position there and will move the lab to the Université Grenoble-Alpes, into the LIDILEM research group. The physical lab at Indiana University will wrap up in May, and merge with the Language Commons at IU. But the community of researchers will remain and expand - the research will continue. Things will regroup "formally" at UGA in September. In the meantime, I will post updates and news here. Stay tuned!  The various research moves of the lab director: From France to Germany to the USA and back.  Bihua Chen with her excellent committee (L-R): Profs De Jong, Darcy, Shin, Tucker (online) and Lin. Congratulations to lab members Keiji Iwamoto and Bihua Chen for their success in defending their doctoral dissertation! They have both done an outstanding job and their committees were impressed - way to go !! We are all very proud of you. Next, Bihua will start a job as Assistant Professor at Indiana University this summer, and Keiji will continue at the University of Florida.
Bihua Chen (2026) Perceptual reconstruction of reduced speech in non-native listening. Department of Second Language Studies & Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University. Defense Date: April 17, 2026. Keiji Iwamoto (2026). The perceptual weighting of ‘redundant’ acoustic cues by second language learners and their role for phonological learning. Department of Second Language Studies, Indiana University. Defense Date: April 3, 2026.  Small steps, consistently, and even if they "feel" invisible, are the best way forward. They're working all right, and we need to trust them. Happy New Year everyone! And for this year, "keep calm and carry on" :-)
Very best wishes to all for a rich, healthy and successful year! Happy Holidays and warm festive wishes from us all at the lab! Here's to a peaceful and healthy New Year 2026.  2026 will have many smaller and bigger changes and adventures in store for us. Let's see where this year will take us!
 Fabulous news here, just a few weeks ahead of the lab's anniversary in November: Our new revamped and updated website under the Indiana University domain name is finally working again! After a long time spent familiarizing myself with the new web content management system, and with the help of UITS, we managed to mostly recreate the prior site. That was a big project, thank you all for helping me with it!
You'll find it here: https://psycholinguistics.indiana.edu/. Content across both sites is mostly parallel. This site on Weebly has broader content, and will probably be the most recent, in case there are discrepancies across both. Happy browsing! Hello everyone and welcome to the Fall 2025 semester! Our lab meetings will be resuming - and the first one is TONIGHT at 4:30 pm in Ballantine as usual (in the lab). We'll be discussing the lab's various projects for the coming academic year, celebrating summer progress and outlining goals for the Fall. Make sure to bring any other topic that's relevant for you. Bring your planners, we'll aim to get a schedule going! See you there...  Congratulations to Dr. Stacey Hanson on a wonderful hybrid defense! Great work and warm wishes for your new job at University of Cincinnati Blue Ash starting.... next Monday! :) Here is a picture of the committee and Stacey after the results were announced, with committee members Elena and Isabelle remotely shown on top.  We are pleased to share that our latest paper, by Bihua Chen and Isabelle Darcy is now out in Journal of Phonetics! We examine how people recognize reduced speech in L1 and L2, and what is the role played by contextual information (meaning) vs. auditory information in addition to just the meaning. The download link is: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1lRI3Lix~1H-u This is a personalized URL providing 50 days' free access to the article, until September 03, 2025. Check it out! And as always, feel free to e-mail with questions/comments. Here is the doi link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wocn.2025.101433  The first page of Chen & Darcy (2025) in Journal of Phonetics
 Our old website is down... For about 2-3 weeks now, most websites at Indiana University have been down - the picture above shows you the current status of my lab's website! The IT department is attempting to restore service, but they've decided to rebuild their hosting servers. Not a small undertaking! As a result, our old beloved website (still entirely written in html by me!) will probably have to be retired, because the new system won't allow it. While very unfortunate, a change like this had been coming for a long time. It is sad to see the old website gone, but I believe it has been archived. (I'll post a link once I find it. And I have the files, of course). But I do not know whether I can re-make on a different platform yet. We will see! In the meantime, this website here with Weebly will serve as a replacement. Stay tuned and please keep checking in on us!
