It’s always exciting to see honours students presenting their work at a national conference - well done to all students who presented at #ALS_2018 over the past few days! 🎉
Some words are ideophones: the sound is suggestive of meaning (eg Japanese ‘taratara’: trickling).
Do these words resist sound change?
McLean compared Japanese and Ryukyuan, and found that these words had changed less, but actual onomatopoeia words changed more.

Mary Laughren on the Warlpiri word for one, 'jinta', and the interesting ways it is used. Last session of talks now underway at #ALS_2018 !
Brett Baker discussing a processing account of reduplication in Wubuy. The Activation Model seeks to understand what drove speakers of Wubuy historically to treat stops and sonorants differently in the process of reduplicating stems. #ALS_2018
Talks on Northern Lisu, Light Warlpiri and multivariate approaches to phonotactics in Stream 7 of #ALS_2018 today!
Ellison et al study “doppels”: words that are recognisably similar betwn languages. They should make bilingualism easier, b/c they’re the same, right? Wrong! Your brain goes “Dont say the foreign thing! I want to say that, but it’s the wrong language. Oh, no it’s not.”

Languages “mature” not only by accumulating morphosyntactic distinctions, but also by prioritising economy via pragmatics. Fascinating observations on hidden complexity by #ALS_2018 keynote speaker Walter Bisang from @uni_mainz_eng
Walter Bisang of @uni_mainz discussing manifestations of complexity in grammar and discourse at the #ALS_2018 keynote speech this morning

Stephanie Durrleman of Geneva uni: "Caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum &/or Developmental Lang Disorders fear that bilingualism may exacerbate language problems - but bilinguals perform the same, or better than monolinguals!" #ALS_2018
Cliff Goddard on creating a Minimal English version of a medical tool to ease translatibility into other languages #ALS_2018
You know about recursion, where a structure (like NP) can contain copies of itself (eg: “my friend’s sister’s son” is a level-2 genitive).
Usually kids have a hard time generating & decoding them, but Giblin et al found 4 & 5yos did fine, slightly better in Mandarin.
