He’s an easy find.

Pebbles, but the neighbor weirdly calls her Sofia??? even after being corrected

I really hope my current research project doesn’t become relevant.

I had a water pipe burst in the middle of my class last year because it was too old.

Not a fan of how much PAA knows how much I spend on coffee.

One thing about this paper that I wish I kept in this paper (at least in an appendix) was that we were able to find these respondents in the 1940 census (men and women) and were able to assess the components of language on income (many problems on the actual analysis, though).

No. We show that these results hold even among groups with the same mother tongues, pre-migration backgrounds, and religion. Results are also not driven by Jewish migrants, but rather by non-Jewish groups.

What did we discover? Refugees forced to leave their home countries due to politics or persecution demonstrated particularly strong English language skills, most notably in their vocabularies.

We analyzed these interviews to study immigrants’ vocabulary, grammar, and accent later in life, and to also distinguish between immigrants who left their home countries due to persecution from those who moved for economic/family reasons.

We analyzed ~1,200 interviews recorded and transcribed by the Ellis Island Foundation and conducted with immigrants who arrived in the US circa 1920. These interviews consist of thousands of hours of recorded speech and >1 million words.

Does anyone know what these two letters might be? Recording complexion if that matters

The working paper version of our forthcoming Sociological Science article is now up. Refugees achieved greater English proficiency than economic migrants during the Ellis Island era, according to detailed linguistic measures from a large collection of oral histories www.nber.org/papers/w31730

This is my toddler’s best friend right now. I’m not sure if I should be concerned.

Excited to read this book!
