The role of accentedness in acceptability judgements in L3 Norwegian: an across-domain investigation Foreign-accented speech has been explored from various perspectives, yet the current study is one of the first to investigate the role of accentedness in relation to acceptability judgements in mul...

When multilinguals hear speech in a certain accent, does that activate syntax from the associated language? We explore this in our most recent paper, the role of accentedness in acceptability judgements in L3 Norwegian: an across-domain investigation - check it out here: doi.org/10.1080/1479...

Women are credited lessΒ in science than men - Nature The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.

1. Women are credited less in science than men.

The SMRT is the public transport service here in Singapore. But it feels a bit weird seeing it when you speak Czech, because in Czech β€œsmrt” means death!

Especially for first years - as I get some calling me β€œMiss” (e.g. hey Miss, what’s the answer to this qu), and some may be unsure - so it is sort of our unofficial role as individual lecturers to guide them in this (as I understand it). And then I’ve also noticed that Aussie students tend to call
