New paper led by Dara Etemady: Statistical reporting inconsistencies in experimental linguistics.

Almost half (49%) of all articles contained at least one inconsistent p-value. 12% contained an inconsistency that may have affected the statistical conclusion."

I finally got the time to check our bird field guide corpus for this. Different authors use the onomatopoeias "wek", "wuck", "wuk wuk", "kuk", or "cuk cuk". One author describes the territorial call as "kuk kuk keekeekeekeekeekeekeekuk kuk"

I find it endlessly frustrating that one of the biggest empirical findings from sociolinguistics is consistently ignored. Change doesn't come from children making mistakes. Change comes from adolescents incrementing existing probabilistic patterns.

I haven't read this paper but hopefully it's good.

There's a lot of limitations which we discuss as well... this work clearly isn't perfect at all, and so much more could be done in the future, in particular, increasing cross-linguistic diversity! Like, we need more data from signed languages, and from non-"WEIRD" spoken languages. ⬇️
