Only 17% of May #ARR authors are qualified for reviewing, and almost 40% of papers have no qualified people?!?!

Another important contribution to some fundamental questions about language and linguistics from two of our #CRC1646 A02 group members and collaborators. #LINCC

Stefan Hartmann@stefanhartmann.bsky.social · last mo.

Very happy to see this out: @bbunzeck.bsky.social, Sina Zarrieß, Elena Lieven and I have commented on @futrell.bsky.social & @kmahowald.bsky.social's excellent and thought-provoking BBS target article on LLMs and linguistics. I also enjoyed reading the other commentaries a lot!

…and if you happen to attend #ICLaVE | 13 next week: Come see our cool analysis of »Sociophonetic and regional patterns of variation in German vowels from the #Plapper corpus« presented by Miriam Oschkinat! iclave13.ch

…both very fascinating topics! #CRC1646 #LINCC

I’ll be giving two talks at @conll-conf.bsky.social, so make sure to stop by and hear me talking about a) child-directed speech and b) child-directed speech! 🙌

Early-bird registration for #Interspeech2026 is open until July 15th! We look forward to seeing you in Sydney interspeech2026.org/en-AU/pages/...

📢 ICPhS 2027 Call for Papers opens June 15! See you in Victoria, BC, August 9 to 13, 2027. ➡️ icphs2027.ca/call-for-pap...

This is now my favourite citing publication! I cannot read it, though. But it’s nice to see that my fundamental research apparently has potential (practical) applications 🙂 doi.org/10.56825/jla...

New #OA corpus doi.org/10.5281/zeno... by Mingtong Li, Jiahao Eric Yang, @suzanneaussems.bsky.social. In short: 60 adults (30 pairs) play an interactive word guessing game. What is special: The clue giver is in situations under postural (in)stability (standing on the ground or on a wobble board)!!

Morgen ist die Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Berlin und viele unserer Institute sind mit spannenden Experimenten, Workshops und Vorträgen dabei. Kommt vorbei! 👉 www.langenachtderwissenschaften.de @diw.de @mfnberlin.bsky.social @fmp-berlin.de @drfzberlin.bsky.social @zasberlin.bsky.social #LNDW

Attending ICCG14? See the poster “Constructions in German child-directed and child-available language” ― presented by @bbunzeck.bsky.social We argue that previous studies have not sufficiently acknowledged the breadth and variation in child-directed and child-available input. #CRC1646 #LINCC

They forgot to report the standard deviation on this shoebox 🧐 ― useless #statistics

»Entscheidungen getroffen ohne Fadenkreuz Herz gebrochen so wie Straßendeutsch Kaputte Straßen, doch der Wagen rollt Habe Angst davor, dass ich nix wert bin und trage Gold« ― Chefket. Highway. Last chance to register and find out how gangsta rap, gender studies and phonetics for into one course! 😎

🚨 The deadline for the #DGfS summer school in Bielefeld has been extended to May 31st 🚨 💡 It is addressed towards MA and PhD students - There are 32 (!) 1-week courses available! 👉 Check out the website for the course programme www.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb/sfb1646/... #linguistics #BLinguistik

It's always exciting for a scientist to discover records from the ancient past. It's a bit unnerving if you recorded those historical artifacts yourself 😳

Read before you cite! 😱

ACL@aclmeeting.bsky.social · 3mo ago

📜 Some of you may have heard about the desk-rejected papers from the ACL'26/ARR Jan 2026 or October 2025 cycles because of hallucinated references. These cases were detected post-commitment. ACL Program chairs have an official statement on this: 2026.aclweb.org/acl_statement/ #ACL2026NLP #NLProc

Thanks for sharing! I missed this interesting study. Only 7.6% of NLP paper citations to linguistics? That’s crazy. In such a fast developing field, I wonder what the numbers look like today. 🤔

Juan Diego Rodriguez@juand-r.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Not sure how I missed this paper.ore relevant than ever now. aclanthology.org/2023.emnlp-m...

Unfortunately, I was not able to present this little study at this year's #ESSV conference. If you missed me in Eichstätt, you can check out the paper now! 🤓 We show that #LLM based ASR or phonetic transcription struggles with novel phonetic forms. #CRC1646 #LINCC

Nach den jüngsten Diskussionen um Arbeit in der Wissenschaft war meine erste Interpretation des Titels “Jetzt aussteigen oder für immer alt aussehen” ein Aufruf an alle älteren “Nachwuchs”wissenschaftler*innen den akademischen Zirkus zu verlassen 😳 #IchBinHanna

Da die Argumente unten anlässlich von #WirVerlassenX nun erneut bemüht werden, hier nochmal mein Beitrag in #ArbeitInDerWiss zum (inzwischen zum Glück in weiten Teilen erfolgten) X-Ausstieg der dt.Wissenschaft. Darin steht, warum Argumente nicht überzeugen. Hat sich nicht geändert, im Gegenteil.

EXTENDED DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION: May 31st!

Daniel Duran@simphon.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Too slay for syntax? Join my course on #sociophonetics and discuss #Deutschrap , #Kiezdeutsch and #Creativity at the #LINCC #DGfS Summer School in Bielefeld! 😎 Registration is possible until April 30th, 2026! www.uni-bielefeld.de/sfb/sfb1646/...

Very cool study! Sad to see this bias against diverse speaker groups, again and again. We found a similar disadvantage for non-standard speech with multi-ethnolectal speakers in German.

Odette Scharenborg@odettes.bsky.social · 3mo ago

5 years after our 1st paper showing that speech recognition (ASR) performance disparities exist for different Dutch speaker groups, we show that this is still(!) the case for state-of-the-art company-developed ASR systems. ASR systems are still not inclusive! www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

The Call for Special Sessions is now open, until June 1st 2026! Please head to the ICPhS 2027 website for more details! ➡️ icphs2027.ca/special-sess...

You've seen the meme that Gen-Z is like Christopher Columbus? Unpopular opinion: It’s the same with a large part of current #LLM “research” – always discovering something which has always been around and known to people for ages, selling it as new … and misinterpreting the discoveries. You agree?
