Confs: 2025 Conference on the Mosaic of East Asian Language Processing
This international event brings together researchers interested in how the under-represented languages of East and Southeast Asia—such as Formosan, Philippine, Hakka, Ryukyuan, and Taiwan Sign Language—can deepen our understanding of psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and language acquisition. Despite their theoretical richness, these languages remain largely absent from experimental research. The conference opens with a hands-on workshop (November 7) exploring experimental methods in both

If you happen to be in Taipei in early November, we're holding a conference on the psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics of under-researched languages of Taiwan and around! Click here to know more: sites.google.com/view/mealp-2...

Psycholinguistic data collection of Truku on the field? Done! Bonus: work feels different when we’re surrounded with cultural artifacts and this triggers the participants to share personal stories

Yilan is a Japanese-based creole language that was developed from colonial interactions between the speakers of the Indigenous Taiwanese Atayal language, Seediq language, and Japanese colonists during the period when Taiwan was under Japanese colonization (1895–1945).

Question for the ERP folks: If you plot your ERPs in R, I would love to know which packages you use. I like the output of erpscope, but to generate publishable graphs, I need to tweak them a lot. However, I'd also like to avoid building the graphs from scratch. Any recommendations?

Your map’s legend can be turned into a histogram, helping your audience understand the distribution in addition to decoding the colours.
Two maps of US unemployment rates by county. They are identical except that the legend in the second has been converted into a histogram.

Linguists have long distinguished syntax from semantics, grammar from lexicon. Does the brain care about that distinction, too? Just one of the topics discussed in our latest episode, w/ @evfedorenko.bsky.social! Listen: disi.org/your-brain-o...

📚Thursday’s talk 📚 It’s about why grammar matters, why the expression of time matters, and how using corpus and experimental tools matters, with a focus on Taiwan Mandarin and the implications of grammar in political discourse

Curious about the linguistic diversity in language processing conferences? In addition to the results from 2012 to 2023 published in @glossapsycholx.bsky.social, I'm happy to share the interactive dashboard (with updated observations) here: aymeric-collart.shinyapps.io/shinyapps_la...!

It's that time again to update the lab's psycholinguistic database page. Lmk if you have any suggestions for stuff I've missed or sections to add (NLP, aphasia, discourse). Any suggestions for improving this hub would be most appreciated. www.reilly-coglab.com/data

Always a new linguistic treasure to unearth: I didn't know this UNESCO map from 2018! Of course there is much to say about how accurate it is, with dialects vs languages, extinct vs endangered, but regardless, it shows a type of linguistic diversity in Europe that is rarely highlighted. #LingSky

So many people confuse LLMs (or genAI, in general) for models of human cognition, language, learning, etc., so I thought it may be useful to share once more my brief comment, titled "Psychological models and their distractors". (open access link: rdcu.be/cGQpY) 🧵 1/n

Psychological models and their distractors
Nature Reviews Psychology - The lack of models in psychology hinders scientific progress. To start addressing this problem, we need a clear understanding of what models are and what they are not.

Day 2 of the #30DayMapChallenge, with a simple-but-hard-to-answer question: How many fluent speakers of Formosan languages are there? I tried to make an estimate based on data we can find on the web so far. But I'm pretty sure it is too optimistic and not completely accurate! tinyurl.com/ye6umn6e

I've come across the #30DayMapChallenge and it reminded me of old ideas that never came to reality: Drawing maps related to Formosan languages (Taiwan indigenous languages). I'm completely new to this, so I decided to revisit this challenge and document my 30-day learning journey!

Ok, my Twitter feed has been full of posts with almost nothing about science, linguistics or language processing for weeks, and it’s got worse these past days with many stuff I actually don’t want to see. Maybe now it’s time to get serious in understanding how Bluesky works and make the best of it!

The ‘Tour of Taiwan’ of Formosan languages research continues next week in Tainan and Hsinchu. Interested in experimental linguistics involving Formosan languages? Or in language policies for Formosan languages teaching since 1987? Contact me if you want the slides!
