I stood from the floor of the #als2017 AGM, because all other nominees have ongoing jobs in academic institutions

Masterful argument for moving away from the functional/gen spat and looking at processing efficiency to show why some human language structures are favoured (recursion) and others recessive (ergativity) or rare (OSV), by @BalthasarBickel #ALS2017
@BalthasarBickel arguing for taking linguistics back into a broader anthropological perspective with normal science procedures. #ALS2017
Bickel concluding: stable properties directly cause diachronic bias in languages. A clear link between cognitive properties and language use and development?#ALS2017
Bickel: There’s a strong preference for ergative languages to lose that feature over time in a cross linguistic sample. Surprising! Or is it not? Given that ergative marking is somewhat inefficient? #ALS2017
Bickel: The language we speak influences our vocal tract, brains, cognition. This would lead to certain human universals, not the diversity we often think of.

Ritz & Schultze-Berndt: What does the clitic ‘-guji’ mean in Jaminjung?
Could be ‘first’ (First, we’ll…), but also ‘already’ (I already…).
English also has this link: “Do it already!” (now, before anything else).
Clitic ‘-biyang’ moves the sequence along.
