Very excited to say that starting this September I'll be assistant professor ("in Experimental and Computational approaches to Semantics and Pragmatics") at the @illc_amsterdam, and part of the Language Sciences for Social Good consortium (language-science.nl/)!

We are living a rare moment in which both UK and German economic policy-makers have questions to answer. At the bottom of the recovery league.

Its sad for me to see @WoutPoels have one of his biggest moments, winning a stage @LeTour, which is an almost impossible task. I would really appreciate for him or any winner to have more than 2 seconds of TV time, so he can show his son what he had achieved. The GC guys are shown everyday. Please, I ask kindly @Francetele give these guys and their teams more exposure that they deserve...
So. Starting this fall I will be assistant professor in philosophy of logic and language at @illc_amsterdam and philosophy @UvA_Humanities. End of tweet.

The Italian right can afford to say:
"We will increase the number of non-EU migrants to help our industry & service sectors. Because we care about economic growth".
⛔️🇮🇹 Migranti: il cambio di passo.
Con il nuovo #decretoflussi entreranno in Italia 450.000 stranieri non-UE in tre anni (a fronte di un fabbisogno di 830.000!).
Il decreto capovolge una narrazione costruita per anni, prendendo atto della realtà.
Notizia importante e positiva.
I'm a bit surprised that Brits measure time in minutes and hours. It would be charming if they said things like "there are 13 heartbeats in a king's yawn"
I am at a conference in the UK and I discovered something important as a non-native speaker of English: there are speakers of British Eng who pronounce "thesis" in a way I cannot hear a difference with "feces".

Watching Berlusconi's funeral on his own TV network it's something no european has seen since the fall of the Soviet Union or the death of Franco
Moving to Germany also involves things like going to the Service Center of the Government's Finance Office to collect a personal document that I have to forward to the Government's Finance Office.

2 June 1946, a referendum is held in Italy to decide the form of government following the end of World War II & the fall of the fascist régime. Electors are asked to choose between maintaining the monarchy or establishing a republic. Women vote for the first time [Thread] >> 1

Mark your calendars! Evolang XV May 18-21, 2024. Abstracts/Workshop due Oct 6, 2023
Linguists are really obsessed with syntax trees. It's one of the things I least understand about linguistics. They're just diagrams, but they are considered very important diagrams. No other diagrams are so highly esteemed.

English commentary for @eurosport at the @giroditalia: about 70% on cycling and 30% on the phonology of Italian. Great stuff 😍
