This month’s #ManyLanguagesChallengeOfTheMonth comes from the world of **grammatical acceptability judgments** by the ML2 CLAPS team. @ambridge.bsky.social

We’re trialling a new social activity: #ManyLanguagesChallengeOfTheMonth Running large-scale projects means encountering puzzles, hiccups, and the occasional “why is this happening” moment.

ManyLanguages is on two social platforms: ✨ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/1107... ✨ Bluesky (this page): bsky.app/profile/many... Follow us to stay in the loop, join discussions, and help us spread the word about Big Team Science.

The next one (though it's adults only) is a team-science project with @manylanguagesc.bsky.social looking at passives. We're keen to get as many diverse languages as possible so please get in touch if you'd like to join as a coordinator or a co-investigator for your language bsky.app/profile/many...

Dear exp linguist, for my advanced stats class, I am looking for articles that - are experimental linguistics-ish - report on linear mixed models that did not converge with the intended random effect structure (using lme4) - published open data and scripts Please @ me, I would appreciate it!

One of the major extrinsic hurdles to increasing outreach for @manylanguagesc.bsky.social has been structural and institutional requirements for potential collaborators to be `first authors' and/or 'last authors' for them to even be considered candidates for positions. <long rant coming>

📣 Big news from RoSE! We’re launching a new RoSE × FORRT collaborative research project 🎉 With @rosenetwork.bsky.social and @forrt.bsky.social, we’re starting a Big Team Science review on evidence for using statistical packages in teaching & learning. Watch this space 👀 #statsed #openscience

The recently accepted ManyLanguages project CLAPS - A Crosslinguistic Approach to Passive Semantics led by @ambridge.bsky.social is looking to fill four key leadership roles (Analysis Lead, Scaling Coordinator, Translation Coordinator, Ethics Coordinator). ⏰Deadline: 30th Jan.

New BTS paper out🎉! 'Investigating object orientation effects across 18 languages' in Current Psychology. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1007/s121...

There's still time to register for the 2025 Big Team Science Conference (October 6-8, live on Zoom)! All fees are OPTIONAL, so you can pay what you'd like (or nothing at all!) to gain access to a ton of amazing BTS content. bigteamscienceconference.github.io/registration/

Join me at the Big Team Science Conference, where I'll be presenting live via Zoom on Monday, October 6 from 17:30-18:25 UTC (time converter).

Our full 2025 program and schedule are now up on our website! We've got so many great presentations lined up, you won't want to miss it! bigteamscienceconference.github.io/program/

The project also provides a large open dataset for future psycholinguistic research. If you are interested in large-scale collaborations, check out the ManyLanguages community @manylanguagesc.bsky.social Powered by @psysciacc.bsky.social and @scanunit.bsky.social Please RT and enjoy

The ManyTones project is looking for several lead positions. See poster for details. 📢📣✨ Get involved! 🎉🤝🌟

📢Come visit ManyLanguages at AMLaP 2025! Erin Buchanan @aggieerin.bsky.social will present at the *Big Data workshop* before the conference about a large scale language study and discuss how #BigTeamScience can improve our linguistic studies (amlap2025.ff.cuni.cz). You can also check out our poster!

🚨 Calling all dog behavior & cognition researchers - ManyDogs Project is launching ManyDogs 2! 🔍🐕‍🦺We're studying overimitation: Do dogs copy irrelevant actions just b/c their favorite human does them? Email [email protected] to collaborate globally and contribute to reproducible science!

@ambridge.bsky.social is currently working on a ManyLanguages proposal on "Semantic Affectedness as a Universal of Passive Constructions”. Methodological details depend on the target languages, so Ben has asked us to help find experts. Get in touch with Ben if you would like to be involved 🤓

Exciting!!!

🎉ManyLanguages received some funding to work on a data collection website that would engage participants in citizen science by sharing their language results with them. 🧠🌍 More details will be shared with the network soon on how to get involved.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night everyone! Here's a little update on our Big Team Science paper titled 'Big Team Science for language science: Opportunities and Challenges': it has been accepted (pending minor corrections) by *Linguistics* (the journal)🎉. Preprint: osf.io/3pkj6

#linguistics I'm looking for recent meta analyses in experimental linguistics that explicitly show publication bias. Please share your work here!

#linguistics folks, do submit your 2-page Expression of Interests by 31st May. This is an exciting opportunity! Be a part of impactful #bigteamscience in #linguistics.

Always wondered whether an important finding is generalizable to ManyLanguages? This is the chance to take your linguistic research to the next level with Big Team Science. Lead your own project and work together with hundreds of researchers to answer important questions about human language.

🚨 2nd Call for Proposals is NOW OPEN! We're inviting submissions of a 2-page Expression of Interest by May 31, 2025 🗓️ 👉 Get all the details here: many-languages.com/studies.html

Any psychoacoustics folks out there who have experience with modelling psychometric functions for speech perception? We are looking for some analysis experts for our first @manylanguagesc.bsky.social big team science project. Give me a shout if interested

The first ManyLanguages project is under way. If you want to get in involved and share your expertise, please get in touch with the leadership team. I will be the analysis lead and would love to get a few quant people together to think about how to tackle the analysis. Get in touch with me!

All of this is largely possible due to the tenacious spirit of @timoroettger.bsky.social. Please join us in solving a long standing problem in #phonetics, #phonology and #speech #perception #bts #manylanguages @manylanguagesc.bsky.social #diversity #replication #generalizable #science

✨Our team is expanding. Join us at #ManyTones!

So excited to be working under the leadership of @chenzi.bsky.social and amazing team leads @xinbingluo.bsky.social @aggieerin.bsky.social @congzhang.bsky.social on the #ManyTones project chenchenzi.github.io/manytones/ #bts @manylanguagesc.bsky.social #diversity #replication #generalizable #science

Very happy to be representing @manyprimates.bsky.social. Join us to discuss all things Big Team Science!

Why do a multilab study? Robust evidence Credible evidence when using transparent open practices Large and diverse data set Highly valuable data for reuse Lowering the risk for any one researcher Exchanging methodological expertise and training Foster a collaborative culture

I'm hiring! I'm looking for 1️⃣ pre-doc and 2️⃣ post-docs. If you're fascinated by media effects, quantitative methods, and open science, please consider applying 🙂 International applications welcome! Application Pre-doc: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie... Application Post-doc: jobs.uzh.ch/job-vacancie...

The crisis in British higher education is acute + painful right now. If you are in it you already know this, but for those who are not I want to share what is going on. As strikes start at Newcastle Uni + others will doubtless follow, now is a time for solidarity + resistance

ManyLanguages starts its first BigTeamScience project: ManyTones. Get in touch with the lead team if you want to be involved.

🎉

Super excited that our project is accepted and is officially launching 🎊 Stay tuned for more details!

🆕New project approved🎉 Exciting news! We’ve just accepted our first-ever ManyLanguages Project: 📌 Perception of Fundamental Frequency Perturbations Across Many Languages
