Preprint w @Anniesotropic & @drculbertson. What happens when category-specific & system-wide biases are in conflict? We show in a noun phrase silent gesture experiment that the former come to the fore in language creation, the latter in language learning. https://t.co/tZxGlqGGBm
Preprint with Fang Wang & @drculbertson. Fang’s artificial language learning experiments show word order harmony for some phrases and not others, mirroring real world cross-linguistic distribution, driven in part by semantic similarity across categories. https://t.co/z4ObUf92WR
Talks from #CogSci2022 are going online!

Looking forward to hybrid symposium and discussion "Innateness, universals, diversity" on Friday #CogSci2022 organised by @berent_iris with @drculbertson and Richard Samuels @osu_philosophy @cogsci_soc
I am co-organizing a #DGfS Workshop on creativity and routine in linguistic feedback 8-10 March 2023 at #UoC Spread the word! Very much looking forward to your contributions on language feedback!!! https://t.co/2XFzrSlAkF
@SimonKirby@ian_joo_korea I associate psycholinguistics with language processing and production, and experimental linguistics is more like theoretical linguistics with experiments.
In 1988, @paul_smolensky had a seminal debate against Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn at MIT arguing over connectionism and symbolic computation. The recording of this debate is now available on youtube!
