Intonation units (IUs) are a universal building-block of human speech. They are found cross-linguistically and are tied to important language functions such as the pacing of information in discourse a...

Ancient texts reveal how Mesopotamian humans experienced emotions in their bodies
From feeling heavy-hearted to having butterflies in your stomach, it seems inherent to the human condition that we feel emotions in our bodies, not just in our brains. But have we always felt––or at l...

Face pots are between the most intriguing Roman vessel types. Their function is not well understood yet. Most are found in domestic contexts, but they appear as well in graves. From Vienna. 2/3rd & 4th c. CE. City Museum Vienna. #Archaeology
A museum display: two clay vessesld, one large without handles, the other one smaller with two handles. Both have faces.

Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line. The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes. Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland. On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld 📷me 🏺
The picture shows a fishhook made of wild boar tusk. Only the curved, pointed end and the upper part are visible. The rest is wrapped in fishing line. The fishing line is made of twisted bast.

YouGlish is one of my favourite pages! You might already know it. Just type in a word or sentence, and it shows you videos where it’s used in context. The best part? It works with up to 20 different languages! #langsky

Curious: Why do Australians and Aotearoans learn French/Spanish and not Malay/Indonesian? 1. Malay/Indonesian is spoken way more nearby 2. It's not that difficult to learn 3. Not many Australians/Aotearoans have French/Hispanophone heritage So what motivates them this choice?

7 years ago we found that writing a to-do list before bed helped people fall asleep quicker. It made the media rounds back then and somehow still continues to do so today #sleeppeeps I'm often asked if we've followed up on it...nope, couldn't get a PO to bite on an LOI. bbc.com/future/artic...

Stressed? Writing down a to-do list might help
If you find it hard to get to sleep, then a solution might be at hand – a pen and paper.

My latest research, "The Negativity Bias is Encoded in Language," shows that American English reinforces negative valence, making words with negative meanings more surprising and memorable. Read it here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Is "Chinese English" isolated from American standard of English, rather than following its norms? How many Chinese people would say "this is wrong in American English, but correct in Chinese English"?

ian joo 주이안 朱易安 @ianjoo.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Having multiple standards, sure, plenty of languages have those. But saying that every use of it as an L2 is a standard itself is exaggerating. Spanish also has many standards, doesn't mean "French Spanish" or "Chinese Spanish" are standards like Mexican Spanish or Chilean Spanish.

I always wonder why this logic only applies to English. If English-speaking students use Chinese in a different way, then is it also a legitimate use of a new version of Chinese?

It sure saves my time. It's good for generating some raw material (say, vocabulary quizzes) that I can go over to make the final version of. Sometimes it's better to do the whole thing myself, sometimes it's better to leave to AI the repetitive part of it, as long as I know what I'm doing.

ian joo 주이안 朱易安 @ianjoo.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
Depends on what is meant by political. If it means advocating certain political ideologies (supported by science), then yes. If it means advocating certain politicians who support such ideologies, then only as far as such advocation is advocating their ideologies and not them as individuals.

A slide from my current linguistics class "The Syllable". I try to show my students both the respective basics (mainly stuff from the 80s) AND current research, such as this map taken from @ianjoo.bsky.social & Hsu (2024). I love their database, the Phonotacticon! #langsky
