I’ll make this my inaugural post on my SciComm BlueSky — hi, I’m Grace, I’m a graduating PhD candidate from UF researching L2 sentence processing and bilingualism.
I migrated from IG and was GraceTalksLanguage on there, communicating SLA/language and Brain/bilingualism to non-expert audiences.

I follow all of the usual linguistics Tik Tok/reels/shorts and – no shade, they're excellent – but it's so dominated by things like historical linguistics/etymology/fun language facts. Gen Z needs islands, N400, and subsective adjectives on their fyp
