Excited to share my first PhD article, published in Scientific Data 👉 rdcu.be/eIRqD

We present the Shared Book Reading Corpus: 44 caregiver-infant dyads, 3 camera views (headcams + overview), speech transcriptions & developmental measures.

Access on Databrary for discovery & reuse! ✨

Our paper tinyurl.com/4upbjayy showed children can create foundations of phonetics and phonology: discreteness of form units and duality of patterning. We analyzed handshapes in homesign (gesture by deaf children without linguistic input) and mothers' co-speech gesture.
Deaf homesigners can create the foundations of phonetics and phonology without an adult linguistic model
Children who are exposed to minimal linguistic input can nevertheless introduce linguistic features into their communication systems at the level of m…

Very grateful to the organisers for pulling off such a wonderful three days. We had a great time at #ISGS10 @isgs2025.bsky.social and are already looking forward to ISGS11 in Hong Kong!

Had some great discussions today at poster session 2 at ISGS 2025 on my work studying caregiver iconic gestures produced during shared book reading with infants! @isgs2025.bsky.social

Just arrived at the MPI in Nijmegen for the MULTIDATA workshop and it's nice to see so many gesture colleagues here. Excited about this pre-conference workshop and the full @isgs2025.bsky.social programme!

I find it interesting that humans probably just miss the f in 'of' leading to a count that only includes the f in the content words of the sentence, but AI got a different wrong count, so maybe comparing human vs AI performance as well as the explanation of the answer could show how humanlike AI is.

Good points. I like the letter f question, which funnily enough AI got wrong when prompted.
