🦀New preprint! (w/ @najoung.bsky.social)🦞 Is grammaticality a major organizing principle of NLM representations? We show that many NLMs exhibit abstract rep. separation for grammaticality. We believe this work addresses debates about confounds in measuring model gram. knowledge. [1/10]

New work out today! The result of a 15 year project to offer genuine linking hypotheses between linguistics and neuroscience: a revised research program, and its first result - a novel neural binding operation ('Meld') capturing core properties of natural language syntax 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2609.14384

Formal Properties of Language as Constraints on Neural Dynamics

What must a neural system be capable of to implement language? Current research annotates stimuli with linguistic variables and tests which electrodes, voxels, or language-model layers predict neural ...

Excited to share a preprint of work done in collaboration with @emilynguist.bsky.social ! osf.io/preprints/ps... TLDR: some effect sizes are larger in lab than on web-based platforms. So when evaluating quantitative predictions, considering the testing platform can be important! 1/n

Why is the submission process for some journals so painful? 😩 I’ve now entered the title and author and funding and credit contributions in 10 different ways.. and now been stuck in “building pdf” phase foreverrrr

#linguistics hive mind: what is the structural analysis of this line from the song other side “I’ll cut you free out of the drudgery and walls you keep in” I’ve always thought the walls were something that kept the person in.. but that doesn’t work right!? So is the person keeping a wall in them?

Lots of great points here! But this one really stood out 🔥

Since Hamilton NY is so tiny all AQI predictions are likely extrapolations.. It’s so interesting to see how sources that all broadly have the same predictions for nearby cities generalize wildly differently here. Accuweather thinks it’s 118 but apple weather thinks it’s 469 lol

Really loved Phil's keynote at #acl2026! The balancing act framing was very effective, and was itself a balancing act between articulating the ideological qualms about the state of the field and the material conditions of the world that contribute to sense of powerlessness wrt changing this state

As a more "syntax processing" person this was very different from anything I've worked on before, but also very fun! Thanks @anziw.bsky.social for exploring this space together, and @carolynanderson.bsky.social for sharing RSA wisdom!

In 2016, I started working on my undergrad thesis where I was looking at ERP signatures for singular 'they'. In 2026, the work is finally published! www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... Kudos to Joanna Morris for working on this the past few years and pushing it past the finish line!

"If you wish to register in this round we strongly encourage you to do so immediately on the 12th, because registration is capacity-limited and may sell out" Since when did trying to register for conferences become like trying to buy concert tickets??

Have three posters with my awesome collaborators today at #hsp2026! Read on more and come to the posters to talk about the importance of neutral baselines in priming, the need to model uncertainty in meaning in RSA, and the dissociation of prediction and structural processing in eye-tracking!

Extreeemely late to the party, but finally used energy gathered from sabbatical + HSP excitement to create a bluesky account!
