A fascinating read in @theguardian.com on the psycholinguistics of swearing!
Did you know Germans averaged 53 taboo words, while Brits e Spaniards listed only 16?
Great to see the work of our colleague Simone Sulpizio & Jon Andoni Duñabeitia highlighted! 👏

Great presentation by @fabiomarson.bsky.social last Saturday at #AMLAP2025! He shared his latest research using EEG to study how we integrate novel semantic representations, “linguistic chimeras”, from context.
Congratulations on a fascinating talk!

1/n Happy to share a new paper with Calogero Zarbo & Marco Marelli! How well do LLMs represent the implicit meaning of familiar and novel compounds? How do they compare with simpler distributional semantics models (DSMs; i.e., word embeddings)?

Conceptual Combination in Large Language Models: Uncovering Implicit Relational Interpretations in Compound Words With Contextualized Word Embeddings
Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as candidate models of human semantics, and as such, they must be able to account for conceptual combination. This work explores the ability of two LLM...

📢 Upcoming Seminar
Words are weird? On the role of lexical ambiguity in language
🗣 Gemma Boleda (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain)
Why is language so ambiguous? Discover how ambiguity balances cognitive simplicity and communicative complexity through large-scale studies.
