Paper alert! We show that #iconicity and #gesture jointly facilitate sign learning in hearing adults. We also find the parameter location plays an important role in learning. Link to the #openaccess paper and video summary in International Sign in the thread below 👇🏼

My recent paper getting some belated love in the press:

“Based on the idea that cultural affiliation can be inferred from the topics that people discuss, the researchers looked at the frequency distributions of words in geotagged Tweets to find regional hotspots for them.“

Super excited about this study! Really fun to work with Christian and David as well. Here’s our final map of MLE lexis hotspots. The paper is open access so please check it out! #CSLX

I know words aren’t real but ‘mendacity’ is doing some work today

Really enjoyed attending Professor Adam Schembri’s inaugural lecture this evening! Congrats, Adam!

Manual text annotation: often essential but time consuming and tedious😩

What if ChatGPT could do it for us? Our upcoming IJCL paper shows it's possible (and accurate!)
