A recent meta-analysis explored the neural correlates of autobiographical memory changes associated with aging. The quantitative meta-analysis was led by PhD student Can Fenerci and Professor Signy Sheldon. They found age variant brain activity for autobiographical memory.

Brendan T. Johns is starting off Day 2 of #MentalLexicon2022 with talk “Socially Grounded Computational Models of Language: A New Direction for Formal Models of Language Processing”

“On cloud nine” listening to Marco S. G. Senaldi’s talk on the role of socially-based contextual diversity in #idiom processing #MentalLexicon2022

What’s the deal with “social” words? Penny Pexman is up next with talk “Social Semantics: Investigating Socialness as a Dimension of Word Meaning” #MentalLexicon2022

Also enjoyed Brendan John's and Macro Senaldi's talk on semantic/contextual diversity. Great stuff as always

My problem with a standing desk is that it makes it easier to walk away.

Can language learners generalize their knowledge of conventional verb-noun collocations they’ve recently learned? And if so, are generalizations made via the second or first language? I explored this in this paper hot off the press Language Learning! doi.org/10.1111/lang.1…

Have you read our last paper about orthographic transparency and writing to dictation? (ft.

Very happy with our new chapter "Age, Bilingualism and Cognition in Translators and Interpreters" for The Routledge Handbook of Translation, Interpreting and Bilingualism with my colleagues @NakamuraMegan Eleonora Rossi UF BLab UFLinguistics taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/… 💛💚

#CompCog23 continues with speakers from across the ocean, in this case with a great talk by Dr. Senaldi from MCGill University:

Idiomatic expressions can greatly differ from their building blocks in terms of meaning. They are an example of #moreisdifferent in #complexity science. A great talk at #CompCog23 by M. Yang discusses key quantitative results about idiom processing:

Bravo Michelle Yang for your first talk!!

Best Paper Honorable Mention at the #mwe2023 Workshop🥈: "Are Frequent Phrases Directly Retrieved like Idioms? An Investigation with Self-Paced Reading and Language Models" Joint work with the amazing Giulia Rambelli (she/her), Alessandro Lenci marco_senaldi and Philippe Blache #eacl2023

10 yrs ago, my MA and PhD advisor Alessandro Lenci introduced me to the realm of computational linguistics with a thesis project on Distributional Semantics. Since then, DS and word embeddings have grown even more relevant to the field. I'm really excited to see this published!
