When multilinguals hear speech in a certain accent, does that activate syntax from the associated language? We explore this in our most recent paper, the role of accentedness in acceptability judgements in L3 Norwegian: an across-domain investigation - check it out here: doi.org/10.1080/1479...

I am back for our final episode - if you are interested in dialects and accents, listen in! 🔎🧠🎙️ #lingcomm

📣📣 Our paper on crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition using artificial languages is now out! In it, we find evidence for the roles of structural and lexical similarity, as well as other factors, including SVO bias. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1177/0267... #linguistics #lingsky #langsky

Presenting our work on CLI in L3 acquisition at the @bilingmatters25.bsky.social conference at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social - a fantastic conference!

📣📣 New paper on multilingualism alert! In our latest paper, we investigated the roles of language dominance, recency (instruction/experiment language), and linguistic property in cross-linguistic influence in L3 acquisition. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1075/lab.... #lingsky #linguistics #langsky

So excited to announce that our new podcast miniseries on multilingualism is coming soon! Follow along to be updated when our first episode comes out! 🎙️ #lingsky #langsky #linguistics

I’ll be presenting on our latest article at the AcqVA-Nor reading group this week - looking forward to it! #langsky #linguistics

Roses are red Violets are blue Ideas are green And colourless too

I have just seen this trailer for a Mesopotamia-inspired video game by @lunargamesuruk.bsky.social and WOW! Of course, I'm obsessed with the imagery — lamassu, lions, Pazuzu, Standard of Ur, and all the cuneiform. But the storytelling too…I’m invested y’all youtu.be/NdRskslO-po?...

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The SMRT is the public transport service here in Singapore. But it feels a bit weird seeing it when you speak Czech, because in Czech “smrt” means death! #lingsky #linguisticlandscape

This is so cute! 🧠

An amazing piece of art in the #linguisticlandscape of Singapore - two snakes in the shape of 福, signifying fortune, themselves made up of Chinese couplets made of individually cut Chinese characters 🐍✨ #lingsky

Spotted at the Chinatown Heritage Centre today - the phrasing “growing up years” rather than “childhood” did not fit in with my own dialectal expectations (Sth Aust English) - I am wondering whether this is more common to use in Sing English, cross-linguistic influence from Chinese (or both) (1/2)

How cool is this?!! Monopoly, but #linguistics ! #langsky starkeycomics.com/2025/01/16/e...

Listening to this fab politeness episode and during the part on backchannelling I was thinking about how much more intensively I backchannelled (and how different my backchannelling sounded) when I was living in Norway! 🇳🇴🗣️ #lingsky

Looking after this lovely girl this weekend — what do my husband and I start doing? Experimenting on speaking to her in different languages and seeing what happens 🥲😅 #linguist #lingsky

New year, new.. paper! You may have thought about how people learn and use new dialects in their first language - and, maybe their second. But what about their third? Check out our paper on acquisition of the Tromsø dialect in L3 Norwegian! doi.org/10.1177/1367... #lingsky #linguistics #dialect

My 2024 year in books - amongst my busy life this year I have managed to read 30 books for leisure - some spooky, many historical, many insightful and important. I have learned a lot and excited to learn a whole lot more next year 📚📖 #booksky www.goodreads.com/user/year_in...

2025 @languageonthemove.bsky.social reading challenge is live now! www.languageonthemove.com/language-on-...

Really enjoyed listening to this one 🧠

I am a bit overly excited about this! 😆 When we are finally in one place long enough to get a dog, I might be investing in some buttons for them...

We asked 12 digital scholarship centers / teams about how they're approaching "AI" vs. how their institution is handling it. Half reported that the university was much more enthusiastic than the people who actually know what they're talking about. I feel shocked 😬

This is brilliant and much-needed. Highly recommend reading this! #linguistics #academia

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...

Finally watched Arrival last night and I really think we should be allowed more big-budget films about linguistics.

OK If we are moving to Bluesky I am rescuing my favourite ever twitter thread (Jan 2019). The renamed: Bluesky-sized history of neuroscience (biased by my interests)

This is just the beginning :) Who else shall I add? #linguistics #multilingualism #langsky #languages go.bsky.app/9TMUZD6

Had a great time presenting some of my research on dominance and recency in L3 acquisition on this side of the planet at the Australian Linguistics Society conference! @auslingsoc.bsky.social #linguistics #langsky #lingsky

She’s in Canbie! Really enjoying the linguistics talks so far today at the ALS conf! @auslingsoc.bsky.social #linguistics #langsky

I came here for, of course, academic linguistic chatter and linguistics news. But also for weird little linguistic thoughts and musings - and I have not been disappointed. Enjoying this app! #bluesky #linguistics #lingsky #langsky

New Australianism spotted in the wild (in my She’s on the Money weekly email 😅) - this one took me a sec and I don’t know how popular it is at the moment, but def piqued my interest! #linguistics
