The interaction engine: Language in social life and human evolution. New book (Open Access) by Stephen Levinson

"No effect of social priming on speech perception in Norwegian."
My PhD student Elena Varona tried to conceptually replicate explicit and subtle social priming effects on speech perception but she did not find any evidence for it.

A warm welcome to all our new members followed by a shared lunch in the garden.
Excellent travail de @lemonde.fr au sujet de l'édition scientifique.
Coût excessif, problèmes éthiques, etc.
Aujourd'hui ces revues servent à évaluer l'activité des chercheurs et nettement moins à diffuser la connaissance.
Un nouveau modèle doit s'imposer ...

Word learning is usually about what a word does refer to. But can toddlers learn from what it doesn’t?
Our new Cognition paper shows 20-month-olds use negative evidence to infer novel word meanings, reshaping theories of language development.
