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.

But we can do something! If you also work on language processing or first language acquisition focussing on cross-linguistic variation, then submit an abstract to *Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning 2025* #X_PPL2025!

Call for abstracts: easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/X...

Kicking of DoReCo's Bluesky presence with a bang: DoReCo 2.0 was published today, featuring open-access, time-aligned spoken corpora on, by now, 53 language, ca. 7,000 words each, with morpheme glosses for 38 of them. Check it out at doreco.huma-num.fr

Curious about the linguistic diversity in language processing conferences? In addition to the results from 2012 to 2023 published in @glossapsycholx.bsky.social, I'm happy to share the interactive dashboard (with updated observations) here: aymeric-collart.shinyapps.io/shinyapps_la...!

Hot off the press! Is there a pre-linguistic basis for event role attribution? In our new paper out in PLoS Biology, we take a comparative eye tracking approach to explore temporal gaze distribution to agents and patients in dyadic interactions tinyurl.com/mryk7kmb

Prior specification is one of the hardest tasks in Bayesian modeling.

In our new paper, we (Florence Bockting, @stefanradev.bsky.social and me) develop a method for expert prior elicitation using generative neural networks and simulation-based learning.

RIP Kristian Tylén. I had been unaware of his illness so this really took me by surprise today. A real loss to the field, to his family, and to humanity.

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com).
