I had the absolute privilege of interviewing one of my PhD supervisors, Prof Marilyn Vihman, as part of the Communications Committee work I do @infantstudies.bsky.social. I could listen to her talk every day, kinda miss the days (and people) in York!

(1/3) It's my turn to be on the #infantstudies Researcher Spotlight! I turned a bit of my #ICIS2024 poster on kinship terms into a blog post for the Baby Blog. If nothing else, click to see the cute images courtesy of Suzy Styles and the BLIP Lab NTU crew. Some outtakes:

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #language #linguistics #science #academia

Comic depictions of the first page of research papers in the language sciences, with titles that include the following:
Just what the hell is a word anyway?
See how this single cognitive process or brain area or neural oscillation or gene explains language!
Based on the shapes of these old bones, Homo erectus could sing .... don't @ me.
A baby looked at one thing more than the other, now we know the secret to grammar.
If you think about it, every language is fundamentally the same, amirite?
We taught a load of undergrads a made-up language, lol.
On the staggering diversity of the many languages across the world.
Remember the thing you said only humans could do, here's a video of a monkey / dolphin / corvid / octopus / honeybee doing it.
I trained this AI with 80 billion tweets and it became head-writer for phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Pretty amused at the droves of followers the @infantstudies.bsky.social account has been getting every day since two weeks ago (yikes, it's been 2 weeks!?). Go follow that account for research blurbs (that authors write, or, more often than not, I write and they vet) from the Infancy journal!

One of the shapes on this pumpkin is called kiki and the other one is called boo-ba. Which is, uh, witch?

Can it code as well as a human? Well, no. But can it increase implementation speed? Also no. But does it reduce overtime? Not as much as NOT using it does. But does it write less buggy code? Quite the opposite, actually! But does it save money? In the long run, almost certainly not. But is it more e

just put the geekiest thing into the book Latin didn't have a word for 'yes'. Nor ancient British. Romans would say e.g. 'verily' (ita vero) 'Yes' in Romance languages descends from other ways of indicating agreement - 'thus' (sic) -> 'si', 'that it be' (hoc illud) -> 'oui'...

I have some coloring sheets your language and #linguistics classes might enjoy for some finals season de-stressing! Here’s one of my students’ work! sites.google.com/view/ear-sci...

A completed coloring sheet reads “every body has an accent,” with an arm with IPA tattoos, signing hands, and a mouth

Please teach your students (and yourself) how to fully document your studies. This is basic data management. If you don't know how to start--go to osf.io and look a prereg templates. They are a good starting point but consider whether you have documented to a point that a novice could run your study
