New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft:

🧵 1/

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

It's great to wake up to a conference review that says "this is the most highly rated abstract in the strand" 🤩

See you in Chicago at AAAL this March, where I'll be giving talks on 1) layperson comprehensibility of jury instructions, and
2) how language attrition is defined and operationalized!

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

I’ll also be co-presenting empirical work with Jenifer Larson-Hall on how L2 Spanish attriters’ spoken production changes with task repetition and input modeling (prereg: osf.io/4q6n8). Keep an eye out for our manuscript, coming (as) soon (as we can write it) 😉

Looking forward to seeing friends (and making new ones) at #SLRF2025 later this month!

I'll be presenting preliminary data from (part of) my dissertation, a preregistered scoping review of language attrition research to determine how L2 attrition/loss/decline is defined & operationalized.

LSA Presidential Research Forum

Join us as scholars rethink terms like “native speaker” and “bilingual”— and work toward empirically driven, contextually grounded characterizations of language use.

I'll also be a grad student rep (along with @reycabreraperez.bsky.social) at the *sold out* ISB "Reframing Our Language Experience" panel convened by @ethankutlu.bsky.social and @alicialuque.bsky.social on the 10th. Super excited to connect w/ folks who care abt making positive change in this area!

Next stop: #ISB2025 (that's the International Symposium on Bilingualism, not the Star Wars one)! My poster with Scott Jarvis (on the 13th) shows variety in self-description and language experience from 50 (mostly "bilingual") participants. Take a peek at drive.google.com/file/d/1unHu....

Five Minute Linguist videos haven't been posted yet, but if you missed my presentation at LSA, it's being included as part of the 2nd ROLE symposium this Monday! Watch the lightning talk at youtu.be/i93wcrpMpbY, and be sure to join us for panel and workshop discussions afterward 🙂

Please consider submitting to the Second Language Research Forum if you haven’t already. We can’t wait to discuss the latest in L2 research with a great group of language scientists this September!

Interested in combating essentialist ideals of language experience? Join the ROLE Collective on May 19 for our 2nd annual FREE, ONLINE conference to discuss linguistic justice. www.rolecollective.org/events/2nd-r...

SO excited to be a finalist for Five Minute Linguist at #LSA2025. Come hear about "Who counts as bilingual?" in Philly on Jan 10, right after #WOTY2024. web.cvent.com/event/40d941...

I'll be giving upcoming presentations on "Who counts as bilingual?" at #LSA2025 (poster and a #5ML talk), plus #AAAL2025 talks "A Constant Decay Hypothesis account of lexical attrition" and "Lexical diversity across human and AI writing." Hope to see you there!
