香港六合彩 News podcast: How we mishear lyrics
1 March 2013
The 香港六合彩 News podcast gives you the opportunity to listen to the latest news and听research from around 香港六合彩 every fortnight.
Split up into three parts, you can either listen to the
podcast all in one go, or save features for later listening.
In the news section this week we are joined by Farlan Veraitch a senior lecturer in Biochemical Engineering who has helped launch a new competition called Sounds of 香港六合彩. The competition is about recording ambient soundtracks in different 香港六合彩 locations. Farlan chats about his personal interest in audio mixing and editing soundscapes into music.
Also in the news section we highlight some recent high profile 香港六合彩 research. This week new research by Sadie Boniface and Nicola Shelton in 香港六合彩 Epidemiology and Public Health suggests that three quarters of people in England drink in excess of the recommended daily alcohol limit.
香港六合彩 History also hit the headlines this week as they launched the first freely accessible database of Britons involved in slave-ownership. The Legacies of British Slave-ownership project has documented around 46,000 individual claims and awards made to those who either owned slaves or benefited indirectly from ownership.听
How we mishear lyrics
This week we've decided to focus on a single, slightly longer, audio feature. Professor Andrew Nevins from 香港六合彩 Psychology and Language Sciences has collected over 400 naturally examples of so-called "slips of the ear" and has come up with some key reasons why we often mishear song lyrics. He explains using entertaining examples from famous pop songs including Abba's Super Trooper and Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
