Very grateful to be awarded the inaugural Gibson-Fedorenko Young Scholar Prize! Many thanks, especially to @ev_fedorenko and @LanguageMIT, and the rest of the HSP committee for their consideration. Excited for #HSP2023!
Congratulations to Vishal Avrindam (@VArvindam), one of two winners of the Gibson-Fedorenko Young Scholar Prize for his presentation at the 2022 Conference for Human Language Processing. #HSP2022 @hsp2022.

Article out in @glossapsycholx today! doi.org/10.5070/G6011198 We present five studies on a curious finding due to @linguistbrian & colleagues: comprehension/judgment processes care less than normal about appositive structures (like the latter part of "the lady, who bought ham").
ALT The header of an article in Glossa Psycholinguistics, titled "Pragmatic representations and online comprehension: Lessons from direct discourse and causal adjuncts". The authors are John Duff, Pranav Anand, Adrian Brasoveanu, and Amanda Rysling, all members of the Linguistics department at UC Santa Cruz.

If you are wondering about the reliability of Growth Curve Analysis on visual world paradigm data and how it compares to the mixed-effect models, our new paper in Cognition may provide some considerations: authors.elsevier.com/a/1b37U… (with Jesse Snedeker)

Does anyone have any recommendations for packages to use to automatically code gaze data for, say, eye-tracking data collected online? Asking for a friend.

My LSA proceedings paper with @ACournane is out today. Based on evidence from acquisition, we suggest that there may be a shared linguistic source for exhaustivity inferences in English it-clefts and some presupposition judgments. journals.linguisticsociety.o…
My poster with @MaximeTulling and @ACournane for #CUNY2020 is up on OSF right now (osf.io/5xqbg/). We present VW eye-tracking data that suggests that 2-year-olds not only understand the truth-functional meaning of “not” but also immediately engage in this computation.

Across the country, cities are shutting down. Trader Joe’s needs to provide workers hazard pay starting right now. Crewmembers are terrified, knowing their job is putting them on the frontlines of a global pandemic. It is not enough to receive PTO only after being proven sick.

Noam Chomsky among other prominent scholars signed a solidarity letter with #COLAstrike demanding that 80+ student workers are immediately reinstated and UC negotiates a Cost of Living Adjustment.

Do you know why over 80 grad student workers got fired from UCSC? Check out their testimonies about #UCSCstrike

This is disgraceful. All workers deserve the right to bargain and strike for better wages and benefits. To Janet Napolitano and @UCSC: stop this outrageous union busting and negotiate in good faith.
We are fired and it's official. @UCSC terminated student workers engaged in #ucscstrike strike for a Cost of Living Adjustment (#COLA). Did we get a COLA? No! So why would we stop striking? #cola4all

Yo. Grad Student Workers at UC Santa Cruz have been on a full wildcat strike for a week now.
They're trying to spread the strike to other campuses.
They vote tomorrow about whether to stay on strike.

Give to their strike fund

UCSC grad students are fighting to have their labor rights acknowledged. I strongly urge the president of the UC system to stop threatening them, especially immigrant students, for organizing. I stand with @payusmoreucsc
