Also how I sometimes feel when filling out a post-training survey form

How I sometimes feel reading a semantics paper.

When can I be like this?

Qing, Özyildiz, Romero & Uegaki will give a talk “Wondering hopefully and fearfully: How do desires and inquisitive attitudes interact?” at SALT @ Harvard

If you have a child above 8yo and looking for a fun (free!) activity during the Easter break. Come to our Drop-in activity "Let's Grow a Language" at the Scottish National Museum! www.edinburghscience.co.uk/event/lets-g...

New revised manuscript by MECORE members “When can non-veridical preferential attitude predicates take questions?” lingbuzz.net/lingbuzz/008...

Very excited to be collaborating with @slab.org!!

Please fellow me on letterboxd

any info on Sinn und Bedeutung this year? I heard that it would be held in a nice place, somewhere I would want to go to, but that's the only info I have (and that the conference will involve some semantics)

Let's play a game! A Sampha song or a semantics paper?

1. Whatever
2. Any
3. Only
4. Evidence
5. Always and only
6. Without
7. Answer
8. Maybe
9. Since
10. Yes, but...

Wondering about the threshold of language proficiency at which point listening to music with lyrics in that lang becomes distracting. I sometimes dream in English, but *still* listening to English songs isn't distracting when I work although listening to Japanese songs def is #linguistics

#linguistics Linguists, submit your work on clausal embedding to the MECORE workshop in Konstanz in June! linguistlist.org/issues/34-35... (Deadline: 15 Jan; Conf: 19-21 June)

We have exciting invited speakers!

Idk maybe because of how I look, some academics I meet for the 1st time at conferences (typically older generation) seem to struggle with some sort of cognitive dissonance when they interact with me. They just can't believe I teach and do research at a university or something

New paper w/ @ozdeniz.bsky.social (to appear in Proc of SALT): psyarxiv.com/dbh4z/ There has been much attention on the phenomenon of "factivity alternation" in a number of langs ie. some clause-embedding predicates are interpreted factively wrt one embedding strategy but not in another.

Q to Linguists (and esp semanticists): Which journal should we submit this to? We have a paper that describes a dataset of modal semantics in 24 languages. The meat of the paper is a description of the dataset (the data collection method; design/format of the dataset etc). 1/3

Ok first post here. Started taking a BSL course (thanks Edinburgh Linguistics), and the joy I am experiencing is immense. It's comparable to the joy I felt when I was 12, when I first started learning English
