We have received several interesting proposals for our 1st call "Replicating Experimental Linguistic Phenomena across ManyLanguages". We are now looking for reviewers, particularly experimental syntacticians who have exp with non-WEIRD populations. Get in touch, if that is you!

@ Linguists: What are your top arguments against the claim that "constituent structure" is universal, i.e. that all languages combine words into larger phrases. Non-configurational languages would be one. But is there even good evidence for its psychological reality in English?

If you put the audience first right from the start—even before you begin to prepare—the issue becomes much less about you saving time and more about respecting *their* time and creating something of lasting value for *them.* (garrreynolds.com/preparation-ti…)

@ LingTweeps: Did ynyone come across cumulative probit (not logit) models in linguistics? Trying to cite some folks, cannot imagine I am the first to analyse ordinal data assuming they are derived from a latent continuous variable. Joseph Casillas @scoretta.bsky.social Bodo Winter?

Can you share #dataviz examples where the designer missed the audience by a mile? too technical? too unconventional? too much detail? Please share!

My entire feed of the "following" tab is now porn. I think Twitter has finally become 100% unusable. Come and find me on 🔵sky: @timoroettger.bsky.social.

@ Speech tweeps: Whats the most user-friendly process to manipulate vowel quality inter-consonantally? Please share your amazing scripts!

How could I ever doubt the wizardry of Matt Winn 😅 mattwinn.com/praat.html

Preprint alert! 🚨 "The Advantage of Big Team Science: Lessons Learned from Cognitive Science." osf.io/preprints/osf/… Our heart beats for BTS. It can improve science by addressing issues like low statistical power and the lack of diversity in past research.

Have data with a bunch of covariates. Does it matter which you include? (Hint: yes!) How do you know what to include? Gang Chen and Zhengchen Cai lead us into the realm of causal inference modeling, with a handy guideline list. I hope this becomes a bigger topic in the field!
