And what if mixing languages makes kids better at creating metaphors? Happy to see these happy faces working on a new project on multilingualism & metaphor Chiara Pompei Veronica Mangiaterra and the great expert in multilingualism Jacopo Torregrossa! Stay tuned for results! #NEPLab

Identifying profiles is a way to go in research on language and psychosis. Check this new article by Lena K. Palaniyappan Alban Voppel et al. 3 different clusters: the biggest like controls and 2 others varying for grammar & lexicon. Converging evidence from my lab ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4153…

If you are interested in figurative language, don't miss this special issue, which ranges from L2 to cross-cultural issues, including our paper on multimodal metaphors. And the commentaries by albert & Heather Ferguson are real gems! Thanks Henri Olkoniemi | @holkoniemi.bsky.social & Ruth for putting it together!
