On a #preprint roll! 🎉 doi.org/10.31234/osf... This one has been a long time in the making, with the 1st version dating back to my PhD. Very grateful the team came back together—thanks to @jamestrujillo.bsky.social and @judithholler.bsky.social . Happy to finally share it! 1/🧵

🚨🚀 Excited to kick off our summer school today on Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups at MindLabs, Tilburg University with @wimpouw.bsky.social @jamestrujillo.bsky.social @babajideowoyele.bsky.social and others! Full details here envisionbox.org/summerschool...

Very happy that our manuscript with my brilliant collaborators @jamestrujillo.bsky.social and @straubeb.bsky.social is now published @jneurolang.bsky.social. 🥳🥳🥳 Interested in gesture, discourse, fMRI, prediction, computational modeling? This is the paper for you 👇 doi.org/10.1162/NOL....

Discourse context and co-speech gestures jointly shape hierarchical prediction during the processing of a multimodal narrative

Abstract. Understanding one another in daily communication depends on predicting language from prior discourse context and visual signals, such as co-speech gestures. However, it remains unclear how d...

When listening to a story, earlier parts of the story (context) and the speaker's gestures help us predict and understand what they are saying. In a new preprint we show context and gestures have a push-pull synergy on neural response to linguistic information 👇🧵

what's the point of writing this? arguing (also to myself) that i) exploration is good, it doesn't need to lead to outputs! ii) models/research fail! and that can be insightful! but also if not insightful, that's still how research works! iii) sharing curiosity-driven efforts and excitement!

On my way back from my last conference/event of the academic year! It's been so fun to meet so many great people doing cool stuff. I certainly have inspiration to last the summer! Thanks for organizing this @adw.bsky.social , and for letting me pick your brain about affordances for 3 days! #EWEP16

A couple of days late to post this, but this is one of the great things about in person conferences: getting to hang out with people in very different, non-work settings! Had a great time on Sunday canoeing in Utrecht with @ashleydemarchena.bsky.social , who is normally only see on Zoom!

What a great time at @isgs2025.bsky.social ! So great to reconnect and meet so many people doing really cool work. And always nice to be back in Nijmegen 😁 Already excited for ISGS11 in Hong Kong!

Very happy to have contributed to this review, with excellent direction from @ashleydemarchena.bsky.social , on communication in autistic adults! It was a fun experience to think about how to translate the findings into practical suggestions for clinicians

Ashley de Marchena ☕️@ashleydemarchena.bsky.social · last yr.

Our new review explores how autistic adults experience & express communication – and how environments & partners shape that. We spotlight AAC, nonverbals, double empathy, & more. Plus: practical tips for clinicians & researchers to be better communication partners and allies. #autism #research

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Hey #linguistics people. Does anyone know of any open source corpora containing conversations in non-Indo-European languages?

Thanks for having me at ACORPO! It was great to discuss methods for analyzing corpora, and meet many new people! Also great to hear that so many are also thinking about how to open up data and have more collaborative language science!
