Hi y'all interested in a tenure-track assistant professorship in #linguistics / #psycholinguistics / #NLP / #compling etc? There's a national competition in Sweden for funding for a position for which you need to be nominated to apply. If you have <5yr PhD age, please email or DM me with a link to a web site/CV. The catch is, I need to nominate someone (for the first selection) before 8am on Monday in Sweden. Pass it on.

How do you calculate surprisal for existing real-world texts? Current LLM often recognize them after some words and then surprisal flatlines at zero. #llm #surprisal #psycholinguistics

I look at the name written there, and my mind starts cycling frantically but unsuccessfully though various close matches until it finally homes in on its target. It only happens with John Cage, too. #psycholinguistics

Today I had the pleasure and honor to present some of my ongoing work at #ICPLA2025 in Patras, Greece. I'd like to thank my PhD supervisor @LoevenbruckLN for her support, not only in the intellectual elaboration of this work but also throughout the exhausting, nerve-wracking organization of this trip (my fellow French researchers know what I'm talking about)... 😅

We all have seen:

a word for (the opening of) a mammary gland spelled like a word for a kind of birds¹;

a word for a bottom spelled like a word for a donkey².

How does #psycholinguistics call this?
"Euphemistic spelling"?
_________
¹ "teat"→"tit"
² "arse"→"ass"

Bruna Alexandra Franzen investigates how readers process cohesive structures in text.
In her new article in Cadernos de Linguística, she presents experimental evidence showing that using “o mesmo” as a coreferential anaphor does not increase processing costs during reading.

Hey, Glasgow-local people, want to do an experiment? Come into my lab and have your eyes tracked while I study how you process sound and syntax, predict meaning, and encode memory!

One hour, and I pay £15 cash in hand.

Boosts welcome (especially people on Glasgow/Scotland-related servers!)

I saw a thing on PsyArxiv and did a drive-by peer review. Warning: snark detected https://ideophone.org/on-ai-generated-norms-and-anglocentrism-a-peer-review/ #GenAI #psycholinguistics

Hello #psycholinguists on Mastodon! I'm currently doing a review on idiosyncrasies in phoneme perception, where it comes from, how it develops through childhood, how we can study it... If you have references or any idea on the topic, I'm more than interested! @psycholinguistics #psycholinguistics #phoneme #perception

Hey, #English speakers, any variety -- from #Scotland or #Canada or #America or #NewZealand or #Australia or #SouthAfrica or #Ireland or the #UK or any other place where you might live --

I'm still looking for participants for an experiment language processing. About 20-25 minutes, with a variety of tasks to measure memory, sound detection, comprehension and prediction.

Please help the advance of #science! And #linguistics and #psycholinguistics.

Time perception in humans seems to be locked to language processing

(12/12)

This results in empirical predictions. I will now go check the research on the threshold of conscious time perception in humans to see what is known to this day, and to see whether someone has made the link with language processing before.

Time perception in humans seems to be locked to language processing

(10/12)

If you are talking to someone, there is no perceived time between the perception of the act that originates the stimulus (visual presentation of a sentence, or articulatory activity of a speaker) and the comprehension of the content conveyed by the physical stimulus.

Time perception in humans seems to be locked to language processing

(9/12)

However, we do not perceive the passing of time at all when we do processing language. When we process language, we experience it automatically.

It thus follows that sound and light perception take time, and that whatever time this takes, it is less than the time it takes to extract meaning out of sound and light.

The above is true for meaningless sounds. In the case of meaningful stimuli, it is also obvious that content extraction from the stimulus must necessarily take more time than the time needed to process meaningless sensory stimulation.

Time perception in humans seems to be locked to language processing

(6/12)

We know that it actually takes time from sound and light to travel from its source to our sense organs, and that it takes more time for us to transform these vibrations into electrical activity that results in sound/visual perception.
