Please boost! #linguistics student here at Swarthmore is running a survey for English speakers (who don't know Mandarin / any other tone languages) about how we learn tones. Take a few minutes to help out with this student research!

✨New preprint out!
With Faruk Akkus and @linguistbrian.bsky.social
We show robust evidence for the rapid use of hierarchical relations in memory retrieval.
👉3 VW studies on the Turkish reciprocal
👉More looks to c-commanding subjects & indirect objects than to distractors

I heard about the great questions after our talk and some of my mysterious friends took pictures 👀send them and questions to my way. Wish to be able to be there in person. Thank you to the organizers!

Proceedings of FEAST 2024 is out and open source! Some cool research on sign language linguistics! raco.cat/index.php/FE...

Aslı Gürer will be presenting our work on prosody of focus in Turkish Sign Language at the Multimodal Prosody Across Spoken and Sign Languages. drive.google.com/file/d/1HSZ0...

Excited to have this on our platform!

Duration as a prosodic cue in TİD: Focus realization in the extended domain Prosodic prominence of focused units reflected through a variety of cues, is well documented in all modalities. Yet, the effect of focus in the extended domain is understudied in sign languages. This ...

We found that focus in TID is not only realized as duration increase in focused signs, but also as duration decrease in the extended domain. Sign languages use different domains (manual and nonmanual) to mark focus yielding crosslinguistic patterns.

OpenAI’s Sora Is Plagued by Sexist, Racist, and Ableist Biases WIRED tested the popular AI video generator from OpenAI and found that it amplifies sexist stereotypes and ableist tropes, perpetuating the same biases already present in AI image tools.

It was great to discuss TİD data at TU+ 10! Thank you all for a great conference and feedback. Here are the slides, too.

About historic relatedness of sign languages, @crathmann.bsky.social ‘We see these route, but these languages are significantly different. It is not just enough to say that LSF is the story. It’s part of a much more complex dynamic.’ #TISLR15

Here is a summary of my #TISLR15 presentation, "Exploring the heterogeneity of DHH users of ASL in the US outside of nativeness" #linguistics 1/n

YouTube video by Felicia Bisnath Felicia Bisnath - Exploring the heterogeneity of DHH language experiences in ASL users.. | TISLR15

Here is a link to a talk through of my presentation (spoken English with English captions youtu.be/-eGHSRsuw6Q and here are my slides, osf.io/truqk/files/... #TISLR15 #linguistics

It should be ‘theme’, not team, but maybe go either way.

Also here’s the OSF link, too.

So, who signers were getting nonmanual cues in which condition was crucial in their performance.

More interestingly, signers were fast when they had parts of hands visible in the videos and mouthing, but they were less accurate. They were faster and more accurate with head nod when they had fewer amount of cues. They were slower and more accurate with head nod with medium amount of cues.

In the perception study in TID, the signers did not perform better with the highest amount of cues. They benefited from different amount of cues in different conditions.

Our main finding in production study is that both ASL and TID signers increased their nonmanuals to signal atypicality to their interlocutors. There was individual differences in the overall amount of cues but all participants increased the number of cues.

Here’s our updated slides that I was hoping to present at #TISLR15, Accommodation in atypical situations: Crosslinguistic production and perception studies. I hope you can view the videos and all the findings. Looking forward to hearing your comments and questions. docs.google.com/file/d/1S5aA...

So suitable for today’s team, on point.

I don’t know who is in charge of the zoom meeting at #TISLR15, but you are missing the questions coming from the zoom meeting. I hope this gets fixed in the next sessions to have better equality and accessibility.

Do you know how we can follow it remotely? I’m presenting online, but I didn’t get any information about how to follow other talks?

I think that’s a good start to 2025.
