It was fascinating to hear about Prof. @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills' work this PM.

Their site contains a range of word association data to investigate the mental lexicon, including semantic dementia & cancer care.

Really enjoyed (remotely) attending today's #LRC seminar at @swanseauni.bsky.social where @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills talked about the #bilingual #lexicon.

It was interesting to hear how closely people's word association answers are across languages.

Storyville Books Bookshop UK Nestled in the rolling hills of the South Wales valleys, we are the only independent bookshop in Pontypridd, selling new books and more.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.

If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.
