• The phonological deficit in developmental dyslexia: is there a suprasegmental component? (Paper presented at ICPhS 2007)
• Does the phonological deficit in developmental dyslexia extend beyond the segmental level? (Talk presented at SPiAP 2007)

• Scottish English Vowels (minimal pairs)
  - the F1 and F2 values for nine vowels of Scottish English (ie /i, e, ɛ, ɪ, u, o, ɔ, ʌ, a/, produced in four different CVC contexts (ie, /h_t, b_d, k_t, b_t/)
• Scottish English Vowels (minimal pairs and narrative)
  - F1 and F2 values for the same nine vowels measured in the relevant words in the story passage, The Boy Who Cried Wolf
  
• Note that the word lists and passage were read aloud by one female native speaker of Scottish English from the Central Belt - collaboration is welcome in the pursuit of a more comprehensive (or just comparative) up-to-date vowel chart for Scottish English
