This is awesome! I have been curating a list of #linguistics journals, with information on their publishing model (and also on whether they admit submissions created by LaTeX, a high-quality, professional Open Source way to produce scientific documents).

People transitioning to Bayes often wonder how to decide if an effect is meaningful or not. Here you go... 1/🧵

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Formal Diachronic Semantics 10 (FoDS 10) will be hosted by the Linguistics Department at the University of Texas, Austin from October 16 to October 18 2025.
