    Announcing a new listserv: BILING, Forum for Discussion of Research on Bilingualism and Bilingual Education

    The list will serve as a forum for the discussion of research on the linguistic, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, psychological, neurological, and related issues which emerge from bilingual or multilingual language contact, as well as discussion of research on issues in curriculum, pedagogy, and policy as they relate to bilingual or multilingual populations.

    The listserv is run by the Center for Bilingual Education and Research of the Arizona State University, and is the official listserv of the Bilingual SIG of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). It is "co-owned" by Josu\233 Gonz\225lez (<josueasu.edu>) of Arizona State University, Jeff MacSwan (<macswanucla.edu>) of UCLA, and Toni Griego-Jones of the University of Arizona.

    To join the BILING Listserv, send an email note to listservasu.edu and make the one-line contents read as follows:

    sub biling first-name last-name

    For example,

    sub biling Juan Lopez

    If you have trouble getting on, send email to Jeff MacSwan at <macswanucla.edu> or Josu\233 Gonz\225lez at <josueasu.edu>.

    I have looked at creaky voice spectrograms. Formant structure is not affected. Both wide and narrow band spectrograms show a pattern related to frequency of vibration, a lower frequency with creaky voice. On narrow band this shows clearly as lines further apart and sometimes broken, or avrying in strength (intensity) at certain frequencies. Formant structure for vowels are the same as with non-creaky, and can be recognized just as easily.
