When you hear "She's eating the…", your brain doesn't wait to find out what comes next, it starts predicting what the next word could be. In 3 eye-tracking studies, I investigated when L1 and L2 speakers predict (or not) based on semantic and/or gender cues. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What ICE will do in every safe and beautiful blue city it goes into— from Minneapolis in Minnesota to Portland in Maine—is crow about the 1-2 people with serious long-ago convictions that they detained while saying nothing at all about the 1,000 other innocents and nonviolent people they terrorized.

* Paper hunt* At the last ISB conference, someone (I can't remember who!) mentioned a study on the fact that L2 speakers might use scales differently than L1 speakers (similarly to the idea that cultural background affects the use of extremes in scales).Who can help me find this paper?

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump. He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”. This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like. 1/
Extract from story which reads:

According to a diplomatic source to AFP, the incident occurred on March 9. The space researcher was reportedly subjected to a random check upon arrival, during which his work computer and personal phone were searched. The same source also reported that messages discussing the Trump administration's treatment of scientists were found. He was reportedly accused of messages "that reflect hatred toward Trump and can be described as terrorism." His professional and personal equipment was reportedly confiscated, and the researcher was sent back to Europe the next day.
Reminder of freedom of opinion
According to another source briefed on the case to AFP, the French researcher was accused by the American authorities of "hateful and conspiratorial messages." He was reportedly informed of an FBI investigation, for which "charges were dropped," the source continued.

The 2DAFS, the tool I developed to collect both continuous and categorical #emotion #perception data, is back up and running on LimeSurvey (after a down period due to a version incompatibility). If you want to use it, it's available here github.com/PernelleL/2D.... #valence #arousal #emotions
Phase 1 of the data collection with the 2DAFS (Two-Dimensional Affect and Feeling Space), a tool to collect continuous valence and arousal perception data and categorical emotion perception data. The image shows the text "How does he feel?" above a two-dimensional space, characterised by a horizontal axis x labelled ‘unpleasant’ at the left and ‘pleasant’ at the right extremity – i.e. the valence dimension – and a vertical axis y labelled ‘calm’ at the bottom and ‘agitated’ at the top extremity – i.e. the arousal dimension. The participant’s cursor, highlighted with a pink dot, can move around in the space and the projection of its position on both dimensions is highlighted with an interactive pointer on each axis – moving simultaneously with and accordingly to the participant’s cursor. Phase 2 of the data collection with the 2DAFS (Two-Dimensional Affect and Feeling Space), a tool allowing to collect continuous valence and arousal perception data and categorical emotion perception data. The image shows the text "How does embarrassed" above a two-dimensional space, in which 36 labels are projected. The 36 labels included in the instrument are: anxious, jealous, hateful, afraid, angry, contemptuous, embarrassed, disgusted, disappointed, tense, depressed, impatient, sad, bored, dull, doubtful, tired, solemn, mesmerised, relaxed, serene, amorous, confident, nostalgic, hopeful, proud, relieved, delighted, amused, ambitious, enthusiastic, astonished, happy, triumphant, surprised, and excited. All labels correspond to adjectives that describe how someone is feeling and they can all fit in the sentence “he feels …”. labels, participants can also click on either “Neutral / No emotion”, or on “Other”. The placement of these labels in the two-dimensional space (x, y) has been determined by valence and arousal ratings of words reported in previous research in English.
