If you are a linguist looking for a job in tech, here's a good read! It's an interview with @HadasKotek who worked in academia before transitioning to the tech industry. She tells @superlinguo about her career path here:

New paper with @PilarPVives ! We explored if restraining people to gesture affects speech prosody & fluency in narration https://t.co/OFCLGv0s7p Ps. A wrong version of it was published 5 months ago but -finally- we managed to get it replaced (would not recommend the experience)✨

@superlinguo Looking forward to this! ❤️ Keep us posted •••

I si hem de parlar sense poder moure les #mans? Un estudi mostra si hi ha algun efecte sobre la parla.

Investigadors del @grepUPF i del DISLL de @UniPadova descobreixen què passa quan no fem servir les mans per explicar alguna cosa.

I've recently joined Appen! I'm part of a team of linguists and language experts that creates AI training data to support the development of voice, text and multimodal AI interfaces. Below a good read, featuring Dr. Bishop (Senior Director, AI Specialists)

Consider the head nod: it's one of our most commonly used gestures, acquired early in development, and cross-culturally widespread. Yet hardly anyone has tried to explain why it means 'yes'.

My latest post, ICYMI, on the origins of the nod. https://t.co/nrtnrXf2SC

[Prosodic and Gestural Studies Group (GrEP-G) @grepUPF]

From 10 to 11: “Stress in Motion: Can interactions between hand gesture and speech production aid lexical stress acquisition in Dutch learners of Spanish?”
Presenters: Hans Rutger Bosker, Marieke Hoetjes (@mariekehoetjes), Wim Pouw (@wimpouw) and Lieke van Maastricht.

[Prosodic and Gestural Studies Group (GrEP-G) @grepUPF]

On Thursday at 10 am we will have a joint seminar with some scholars from @MPI_NL in Nijmegen about the acquisition of prosody and pronunciation in L2.

[Kensy Cooperrider @kensycoop]

Another, led by @AliceCravotta, asked whether encouraging people to gesture affects the fluency of their speech, an oft-quoted finding from a few early studies. It did not. (It did affect people's prosody and how long they talked.)
