Japanese Phonotactics and Non-Native Speech Perception

In the last twelve months, two major publications have been published and two confrences have been attended to present the findings of my research. The two studies examined predictability in the names of fictional characters. Fictional characters were used because I was unable to safely run my more traditional experiments during the Corona pandemic. The two studies were published in very high ranking journals: Plos One and Frontiers in Psychology. Both studies show that there are clear effects of sound symbolism in fictional character names. At the conferences I presented my research, I was able to discuss my research with experts and gain valuable advice.
