Michigan Linguistics is hiring!

Seeking candidates who apply computational methods for linguistics research; sub-discipline open. This is a wonderful department to be a part of. Feel free to reach out to me with questions. https://t.co/U7xEEvh9Jf

@LanguageCycles @alexandersclark Been meaning to ask: do you have a dependency parser that operates over the kind of memory buffer your chunking mechanism provides?

Meet with City Staff at West Park on Friday, Sept. 8 and Monday, Sept. 11, 1-3 p.m., to talk about the bandshell! Can't make it in-person? There's a virtual info session on Monday, too, 6:30-8p. Zoom link will be posted on that day here: https://t.co/9qzzhJ5wOZ.

The entire Glossa Px team is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Janet Dean Fodor. In addition to being an exceptional linguist and psycholinguist, Janet essentially built the psycholinguistics community that helped make this journal a reality. She will be greatly missed.

The brand spankin' new @LingSocAm First-Gen Access & Equity Committee is having a meet n' greet mixer on Monday, September 11th. You should join us! It's a great opportunity to ask what the hell a CV is and why academia is so weird #LinguistTwitter

[Jonathan Brennan @jonrbrennan]

@wavyphd glad to hear it, and thank you!

[Amanda LeBel @AmandaLeBel3]

This paper and dataset is now officially published in Scientific Data!! And not only that but we have nearly doubled the amount of data and stimulus available since the preprint version.

Interested in studying speech neuroscience using time-resolved neural measurements, and machine learning methods? I'm recruiting PhD students thru Stanford's Neuroscience and Psychology programs this fall!

Find me at @CogCompNeuro (Aug) and @SNLmtg (Oct)- very happy to chat!

We sync our phones to our laptops to stay organized. But what happens when students sync their brainwaves to their classmates and teacher? The @NSF profiles new research by NYU's Suzanne Dikker: https://t.co/mQ7SFwZMTt

[Sarah F. Phillips @sarahlinguist]

Oh! I’m on the job market for TT faculty positions! Looking forward to continuing my work using behavioral measures and neuro imaging to investigate the neural bases of language processing and development with a particular focus on bilingual populations 🫶🏽

@IbanDlank @fernandaedi @cogsci_soc @milosstanojevic @graydunagan I really enjoyed your paper and I'm happy to see the convergence. fwiw our parser-steps metric doesn't quite tracks with working memory/dependencies length (more equivalent would be something like stack depth I think)

[Jonathan Brennan @jonrbrennan]

Its here!! Symbolic parsers and LLMs capture separable fMRI signals. "But Jon" you ask "What sort of grammar? Which parsing strategy??" No worries! The paper is open access at @cogsci_soc. With @milosstanojevic John Hale @graydunagan & Mark Steedman
