Dr. Susan Gelman’s talk on “the good, the bad, and the ugly” of our tendency to categorize reminds us how easy it is to rely on oversimplifications rather than question possible variation and potential bias #aaasmtg

Attended 2 non-linguistic conferences ( #TS2025, #ASNR2025 ) where presenters made analogies to language. The good: Some have engaged with linguistically informed research to draw connections. The bad: Some have oversimplified linguistic experiences to make their own work “easier to understand.”

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Just got an email from the zombie journal soliciting my submissions so I thought I'd remind everyone that in 2015 the entire editorial board of "Lingua" resigned and created a new independent OA journal (Glossa). Don't submit to the new Lingua. slate.com/human-intere...

I am thrilled to share our new paper which investigates the role of continuous measures in linguistic diversity research. We found that children who are exposed to more linguistic diversity (e.g., language, dialect, accent) are perceptually more flexible. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
