Testing 191 proposed linguistic universals with methods that account for genealogical descent & geographical proximity: “despite vast design space of possible grammars, languages don't evolve entirely at random. Shared cognitive/communicative pressures repeatedly push towards similar solutions.“👇🧪

Despite their great diversity, human languages are shaped by recurring grammatical universals. Verkerk et al. show that about one-third of the proposed universals hold cross-linguistically through ana...

Coming soon - Turner & Hoffmann on Creative Construction Grammar. In this, we argue that the domain-general process of Conceptual Blending is the cognitive operation that combines constructions. BTW this will be published open access!

One of the great mysteries of #language is how it finds a balance between robust stability and endless flexibility. I believe this requires us to rethink #linguistic structures. In this article, I propose dynamic #tensegrity as a novel architectural metaphor

OpenAI en co. spelen met miljarden dollars als waren het knikkers. En dat op basis van een technologie die vooral verlies maakt. OpenAI heeft een overweldigende 1,4 biljoen dollar nodig om de vereiste datacenters te bouwen. Wie zal dat betalen? En wie is erbij gebaat?

This is why we can’t have nice things
arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.
This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.
Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Very happy to announce the new Anthology for Computers and the Humanities! 🎉
Inspired by the wonderful ACL Anthology, this is an open, accessible, centralized repository for papers at different workshops, conferences, and related venues. All thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social!

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.
So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.
Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!

Working on some proofs on the train back home. It's a little article in which I share my thoughts about how we can "refactor" the architecture of #ConstructionGrammar to better fit the recent advances in usage-based approaches. I can't wait to see it published and hear your views
