* Paper hunt* At the last ISB conference, someone (I can't remember who!) mentioned a study on the fact that L2 speakers might use scales differently than L1 speakers (similarly to the idea that cultural background affects the use of extremes in scales).Who can help me find this paper?

I received this picture taken during my poster presentation at #Eurosla34 in Tromsø. I guess my happy face says it all! Eurosla was, as every year, a great conference full of great people doing great research. Thanks @c-labl.bsky.social for the organisation!

What a great keynote by @roberthartsuiker.bsky.social to end #ISB15. Food for thought about what seemed to be an established idea in the field. Time to go back home after an inspiring conference.

Excited to attend #ISB15 and present our research on emotion expression by Chinese learners of Spanish with Cristina Herrero on Friday at 12:35 in Room 8. #prodody #emotion #production

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump. He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”. This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like. 1/

🚨This week, many Columbia scientists lost grants that funded over half their annual income. Others will no longer be able to do research that helps treat thousands of sick patients across the US. "It hurts," they told me. My story for @nature.com 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Last stretch! Please help if you can. If you teach at a Spanish university, don’t hesitate to share with your students. I wouldn’t mind doing an online session afterwards if you want me to introduce the topic of emotion to your students (or I could do a methodological session on online surveys). Thx

The 2DAFS, the tool I developed to collect both continuous and categorical #emotion #perception data, is back up and running on LimeSurvey (after a down period due to a version incompatibility). If you want to use it, it's available here github.com/PernelleL/2D.... #valence #arousal #emotions

📢 Spanish speakers, we need you! (Yes, again.) We are still on a quest to find adult native Spanish speakers from Spain for our short (15-minute) online study on emotion perception. If you can, please take part or share. Muchas gracias 🙏 survey2.sl-services.be/index.php/68... (image by ChatGPT)

🗣💬 Looking for a test of linguistic processing fluency that I could administer to both L1 & L2 speakers of English & German.

1st post on bsky - about bsky! I was fascinated with academic starter packs and made an interactive network to see academic communities and how they connect - a map of knowledge! link to an interactive & searchable network: ketikagarg.github.io/blueSkyAcade...

I just realized that the priority notifications feature here stops all mentions from people you don’t follow! I’ve been missing so many of your replies, apologies!

To the French-speaking academic community here: As a French L1 speaker I've never worked in a French-speaking academic environment. I don't master the FR vocabulary ("special issue", "peer-reviewed", "public outreach"). Any good ressource that could spare me hours of Googling to write my French CV?
