Leonard Cohen sobre el asesinato fascista a Federico García Lorca: "No entiendo cómo España no ha excavado con sus manos todo el campo de Granada para recuperar el cuerpo de su poeta. No entiendo una nación que todavía no haya dado un castigo histórico a sus asesinos".

Yes, very interesting indeed! I believe this paper could represent a notable service to the development of linguistic theory in the future. A comprehensive synthesis that was about to be made 👏👏

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “MAGA-style leaders may say that our country can’t handle taking in so many migrants, that this is a suicidal move — the desperate act of a collapsing country,” writes Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain. “But don’t let them fool you. Spain is booming.”

In Spain, it is our duty to become the welcoming and tolerant society our ancestors would have hoped to find on the other side of our borders.

How are language and number knowledge related? In this new post, I link advances in neuroscience research on mathematical knowledge with linguistic theory to provide an answer to this question. Hint: syntax is important! philosophyoflinguistics618680050.wordpress.com/2026/02/03/t...

My reviewing style has changed over time. Rather than litigate every little thing, and pushing my own ideas, I focus only on 2 things: (1) Are the claims interesting/important? (2) Does the evidence support the claims? Most of my reviews these days are short and focused.

Help spread the word about developmental language disorder, a common yet often hidden condition that makes it hard for children to understand what's said to them & to articulate thoughts & feelings. Lots of helpful resources & information at radld.org. #DLDday #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

Flyer on Developmental Language Disorder, prepared by the organisation RADLD (Raising Awareness of Developmental Language Disorder). The flyer has the title "You can't see DLD" and shows a photograph of a boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers, against a purple background. To the right of him there are lines of text which read:
- Started to talk later than his siblings
- Has difficulties learning new words
- Needs lots of repetitions to follow instructions
- Struggles to join activities & discussions
The bottom of the flyer says "Support #DLDday on Friday 17th October 2025. Learn more at RADLD.ORG".

"Experimenter bias" refers to a mistake in scientific studies where the experimenter wants to see something, and so unconsciously designs protocols to prove what they want to see. RFK here provides an example, Let me explain what we might see based on this. 🧵

Pero si se puede explicar en inglés qué significa ‘lagom’, entones no es cierto que ciertos pensamientos solo pueden existir en ciertas lenguas. Si acaso, que ciertas palabras no se pueden traducir con una sola palabra en otras lenguas, que no es lo mismo.

“Funding agencies claim they want to fund novel and innovative research, but will only fund predictable incremental research from already well-funded labs. Excelling in academia is more about following an extremely narrow path that no one defined but everyone follows, and it’s up or out.”
