New paper: Word formation patterns in the perception domain: A typological study of cross-modal semantic associations @ejnorcliffe #OA https://t.co/l8HhhvNgj2

[Asifa Majid @asifa_majid]

It's claimed perceptual language reflects a biologically grounded hierarchy of the senses. Using a stratified global sample of 100 languages, a new study led by @ejnorcliffe finds domain-general constraints explain lexicalization patterns instead. https://t.co/KnKYn6Xdz7

Our theme session on is about to start! #ICLC16 @iclc16

[Martin Haspelmath @haspelmath]

The #ICLC16 workshop on colexification continues with Thanasis Georgakopoulos's talk on physical action verbs in synchrony and diachrony (with Giorgos Amoiridis) https://t.co/A7Dq33oxc1

[Annika Tjuka @annikatjuka.bsky.social @AnnikaTjuka]

Our next talk is by Giorgos Amoiridis and @Th_Georgak presenting a study on colexifications in physical actions from a synchronic and diachronic perspective.

[Martin Haspelmath @haspelmath]

Coexpression ("polysemy") = several meanings associated with a simple form in different situations; synexpression ("conflation") = several meanings simultaneously associated with a simple form. Here I give an overview and explain a few general trends https://t.co/dOfRaZ83ix
