Another Käärijä Research Project

aka: käärijä style-shifting project

as a preface, here are my (non) qualifications for this project and the circumstances under which it happened:

I am a linguistics student, and this past semester I took a course on sociolinguistics. the goal of this project was to become familiar with the concept of and analyze style-shifting (it's more commonly known as code-switching online but theres a difference and this is style-shifting), specifically by analyzing the speech of one person. We had the option to study oprah or to have someone else approved by my prof, so you know I had to ask my prof if I could study jere. This project is solely my intellectual property; even though I had a tutor help me a lot, everything written in this paper and on this post was my work alone.

now, on to the actual findings! the full paper and transcripts will be linked at the end :D

the actual variables (words or sounds) that I studied were the pronunciation of r, and use of the word "the".

to make things a lot easier from the get-go, i'm going to introduce you all to one of my favorite websites, ipachart.com (the international phonetic alphabet [ipa] chart is a big chart with an entry for every sound that exists in a language. this handy dandy website has an audio recording for each one of those sounds).

go to this website, and then scroll down to the table. go to the column labeled "post alveolar" and then click on ɾ and ɹ. those are the sounds i studied in this paper! ɾ is the finnish r and ɹ is the american r :)

so basically what i did to find instances of my variable was i just looked up a bunch of esc interviews and listened out for use of the different r sounds. i also transcribed the entire dinner date live because i love torture apparently :) the specific interviews and lives/stories are in the bibliography of the paper :p

after i transcribed all the interviews and lives/stories i went through and highlighted every instance of the r sound. then i calculated the ratios of ɾ to ɹ based on the context they were spoken in. the two contexts i looked for were formal contexts (sit-down interviews) and informal contexts (literally anything else).

i found that jere uses ɹ WAY more often in formal contexts than he does in informal contexts, and the same in reverse with ɾ.

i then went back to the transcripts and looked for all instances of the word "the". i also looked for instances where i thought it should be present, but was omitted. i calculated the ratio of present vs omitted "the"s in formal vs informal contexts and made some charts.

the graph with the smaller black section is "use of 'the' in formal settings" and the one with the smaller green section is "use of 'the' in informal settings" (the images are transparent, sorry)

i found that jere uses "the" WAY more often when in formal settings! there were also some instances where he added a "the" where it was unnecessary, which is studied at length in this wonderful paper by @alien-girl-21

something i also noticed that i elected not to study because this paper took enough energy on its own was that in formal contexts, whenever the "or" sound came in the middle or at the end of a word, jere wouldn't pronounce the r. it stuck out to me mostly because i heard words like "performance" turning into "perfomance", which i thought was an interesting quirk.

unfortunately i was somewhat limited by both my brainpower and capacity to do more work on this paper in the relatively short timeframe i was given (2 weeks) and the fact that i was given a 5 page MAX for this paper (not including a bibliography). i had a lot of fun doing this though and am definitely planning on studying jere for for academic credit again in the future if given the chance!

also i would like it to be known that i spent an hour searching for that 5 second clip of the urheilucast where jere said that he used to sell kitchens and understands english better than he can speak it.

link to a google drive folder with the actual paper i wrote and the transcripts of the interviews with notation:

please feel free to send me asks and dms with questions or comments about this paper! i absolutely love rambling about linguistics :3!!

Ok, here we have the actual Gort-guardian im going with. Inspired by these two posts that have been living in my head rent free for weeks btw.

hmmm but we're missing something... a little element of wrongness.

Ah, I got it - eyes are the window to the soul, aren't they?

and the guardian does not have a soul. And this is not the soul you are seeking.

I had a weird ass, sort of sleep paralysis nightmare last night??

we came home and I noticed some stuff missing so my fiancee went to check upstairs. meanwhile I decide to lie down on the couch and had the worst shitting your pants moment when I see a pair of legs NOT belonging to my fiancee coming down the stairs

now this is where the sleep paralysis kicks in bc I want to scream but I physically can't scream or move?? this guy just slowly comes downstairs, walks next to me, looks at me very weirdly and creepily and eventually sits next to me. this goes on a bit longer until I'm finally able to scream my fiancee's name and she heroically rushes to the room and holds the guy down while I go call the police

this is where I wake up and my fiancee asks if I had a bad dream bc I was making distressed noices in my sleep (not smth I normally do)

-100/10 dream, pls never again

Exam Season Resolutions

I'm so grateful that we have the Easter holidays AND study leave before exams, but the lack of structure worries me that I'll slip into bad habits. To try to prevent that, I've written a list of resolutions and I'm posting it to keep me accountable. Hopefully this goes well!

Always be in bed by 23.30 and awake by 07.30, no excuses - get into a good sleep routine.

No more than 2 coffees daily.

Energy drinks only in emergencies.

Do not exceed 1 hour of TV daily.

Try to stop bedroom from becoming chaos - quick tidy every night before bed.

Wash hair every 2-3 days at the very least.

If ever miss a task on study plan, do not ignore - reshuffle to complete at a later date.

Even i if don't study at all, post daily to pressure myself.

If anyone else is in a similar situation, feel free to use this list! We can keep each other motivated.

a little spooky story,, from what I experienced with my college besties not too long ago.

we were having fun in some mall in jakarta, it was 23.30 pm, heavily raining, and the mall was closing. My friend drove a car, while me and my other friend just sat there with her lmao. The parking lot was dark already, and the mall was humongous—we kinda lost our way in the parking lot figuring out a way out. We found a strange path that CERTAINLY doesn’t lead to an exit, but it’s more darker and it has a couple cars still parked. strange thing about that path is that there’s like, a circus music? we didn’t know what it was but it specifically came from that pathway in the parking lot

Dojechawszy. Na recepcji wredna cipa. Chyba ta sama, która mi powiedziała, że na pokój jednoosobowy nie mam co liczyć.

Recepcja niby czynna od 6.00-23.30 ale zapisy od 8.00? Nie ogarniam. Ktoś tu chyba wała że mnie robi
