I've always appreciated the "speech chain" as a way to frame communication. I like that it explicitly includes an acoustic signal 👂 (which can be degraded) and feedback to the speaker. And brains. 🧠

So, this is the first figure in my book, and informs the rest. 🧵

First, Meta-analysis of #recasting from 2015 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... (The infographic includes newer work, but also dated). Recasting works for grammar targets and kids with #devlangdis ... but wow, it requires intentionality & a high dose. Makes it hard to incorporate into regular tx.

New preprint! We know a lot about how the brain produces single words. But how does word production work in sentences? We tracked 6 words in the brain while ECoG patients used them to produce sentences like "Dracula hit Frankenstein". 🧵 1/9

What Kevin Wheldall learned from 50yrs of research:
✔︎ find your tribe;
✔︎ be prepared to be unpopular;
✔︎ learn from one another;
✔︎ be patient, your time will come; and
✔︎ keep on keeping on; persistence is key to making a difference.

New Bouba and Kiki just droppt 😍
I'm excited to share our new study on cross-modal iconicity from our special issue in JASA! We show [r] is rough and [l] is smooth even in languages that conflate them within one phoneme. The effect is even stronger than the bouba/kiki effect!
The alveolar trill is perceived as jagged/rough by speakers of different languages
Typological research shows that across languages, trilled [r] sounds are more common in adjectives describing rough as opposed to smooth surfaces. In this study
