Hi yall, I don’t use twitter much anymore but I wanted to say I have a poster at HSP 2025! Session 2 on Friday I’ll be discussing some results from a sentence recall task testing memory for clitic placement in Spanish. Stop by and say hi!
I’ll be at the LSA this week, presenting some work with @compositiomal (who doesn’t use Twitter anymore). If anyone I know is around let me know and we can get a drink or have a chat or both
“Symbolically Speaking” is maybe the best title a paper has ever had
I haven't used twitter for a long time... But does anyone know any language where tense/aspect features are encoded in the relativizer instead of being encoded within the relative clause?
My spn dialect tends to drop word initial unstressed a’s so I always though aprender was homophonous between “learn” and “turn on” (prender) lol
Updated version for this preprint can be found here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…, now also with @seb_mancha :)

Did the GitHub for that big neural minimalist grammar parser get taken down?
Hispanohablantes: gramatical o no? “Las hay con las que no es fácil estar de acuerdo”
Why doesn’t “from my chagrin” mean something you like?
People that know the aphasia literature, what’s the most damage a person has been recorded as having while still retaining “typical” linguistic abilities? The woman with the missing left temporal lobe from those MIT papers comes to mind
Getting into stuff like saying “chomskys transformational grammar” in 2024
Anyone have a pdf of Strozer 1976? Can’t seem to find it archived by UCLA, no library access, no libgen, etc
If the language of thought isn’t just natural language why is that what they write in the thought bubbles in comics
youtu.be/iCgGoYGjeds?si… 3:20 “… corruption and lavish gift giving, of which there was no shortage of, …”
I for the life of me cannot pronounce the mid front rounded vowel in Cantonese
Open science is awesome because I had no idea how to organize my priming experiment data so I found someone’s OSF dataset and just copied them
