We show that semantic contrast shapes timing of pre-planning in speech and writing.

"What effect has knowing multiple languages or even languages with two different scripts such as English and Arabic on people's ability to communicate meaning in writing?"

Together with @marktorrance.bsky.social, our final year UG students will explore this exciting topic this year.

Our mind translates ideas into language in a remarkable speed. When we asked people to describe pictures, they often respond in only 1 sec. That's because our mind priorities quick responses over fully developed utterances and even more so in writing than speaking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our discussions at #AMLaP2025. Thanks to everyone who came by to talk to us about spelling and what we can learn from it about how peope produce language.

When do we actually think about what we want to say and what words to use? Interestingly our mind does a lot of this work while we're writing text. In fact, we demonstrated (psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-...) that even young writers often don't stop before starting a new sentence. Way to multitask!
