Excited to share a preprint of work done in collaboration with @emilynguist.bsky.social ! osf.io/preprints/ps... TLDR: some effect sizes are larger in lab than on web-based platforms. So when evaluating quantitative predictions, considering the testing platform can be important! 1/n
Why is the submission process for some journals so painful? 😩 I’ve now entered the title and author and funding and credit contributions in 10 different ways.. and now been stuck in “building pdf” phase foreverrrr
#linguistics hive mind: what is the structural analysis of this line from the song other side “I’ll cut you free out of the drudgery and walls you keep in” I’ve always thought the walls were something that kept the person in.. but that doesn’t work right!? So is the person keeping a wall in them?
Since Hamilton NY is so tiny all AQI predictions are likely extrapolations.. It’s so interesting to see how sources that all broadly have the same predictions for nearby cities generalize wildly differently here. Accuweather thinks it’s 118 but apple weather thinks it’s 469 lol
The pervasiveness yellowness caused by the poor air quality makes me feel like I am in the Firefly show
Really loved Phil's keynote at #acl2026! The balancing act framing was very effective, and was itself a balancing act between articulating the ideological qualms about the state of the field and the material conditions of the world that contribute to sense of powerlessness wrt changing this state
Totally did not expect to get a beach towel and sunglasses in a conference welcome bag! High surprisal
This paper was accepted as a talk at SCiL this year—please stop by if you might be interested! Meanwhile you can read our preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

As a more "syntax processing" person this was very different from anything I've worked on before, but also very fun! Thanks @anziw.bsky.social for exploring this space together, and @carolynanderson.bsky.social for sharing RSA wisdom!
Anzi Wang@anziw.bsky.social · 2mo agoStandard RSA often assumes that speakers are certain about the meaning they intend to communicate, but this assumption need not always be true! In paper with @grushaprasad.bsky.social and @carolynanderson.bsky.social, we propose a method (um-RSA) to incorporate meaning uncertainty within RSA
You just can’t get yourself to do something and keep putting it off? Will issue

In 2016, I started working on my undergrad thesis where I was looking at ERP signatures for singular 'they'. In 2026, the work is finally published! www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... Kudos to Joanna Morris for working on this the past few years and pushing it past the finish line!
Frontiers | Distinct ERP signatures for singular “they” and gender violations
IntroductionThe English pronoun system is undergoing rapid change, with singular “they” increasingly used to refer to specific individuals. A key question is...

new blog post about, like. why i teach syntax, i guess. may be a little bit inside baseball, curious about your thoughts kconrod.medium.com/build-me-a-b...

"If you wish to register in this round we strongly encourage you to do so immediately on the 12th, because registration is capacity-limited and may sell out" Since when did trying to register for conferences become like trying to buy concert tickets??
Have three posters with my awesome collaborators today at #hsp2026! Read on more and come to the posters to talk about the importance of neutral baselines in priming, the need to model uncertainty in meaning in RSA, and the dissociation of prediction and structural processing in eye-tracking!
Extreeemely late to the party, but finally used energy gathered from sabbatical + HSP excitement to create a bluesky account!
