🚨New Publication Alert!🚨
@thematzing and I have written a little review of "Language Evolution as an Interdisciplinary and Integrative Research Field." Out now in the cool edited volume "Contemporary Linguistics: Integrating Languages, Communities, and Technologies"

Check out this great thread on our just-published paper on the cross-cultural interpretation of speech pauses! We found that the cognitive states associated with long vs. short pauses before giving an answer in a conversation are strikingly similar across cultures🏄open access 🔓

🚨NEW PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨
Out now in #OpenAccess in Interaction Studies (w/ @thematzing, @zqelizabeth & @PrzemekGurgyn). We looked at how Polish and Chinese participants evaluate inter-turn speech pauses made by native and non-native speakers 1/

@hartmast @HHU_de Congrats, Stefan! So well deserved! 🥳🙌💐

[Theresa Matzinger @thematzing]
