New paper w/ @debra_titone published on Discourse Processes! In an eye-tracking study, we showed how L1 and L2 English readers use direct memory access vs compositional analysis to disambiguate the figurative vs literal meaning of ambiguous idioms.

A new amazing paper on the development of L1-L2 naming skills in children and adolescents by my colleague and friend @ant_iniesta
Excited to share our latest work on Development of L1-L2 naming skills in Children and Adolescents using behavioral and ERP data. Cognitive Development edited by Quin Yow & Gigi Luk. @ant_iniesta @MartaRivZ #DanielaPaolieri @bajoteresa @UGRmemory @cimcyc

Our latest #research published in Memory & Cognition @SpringerNature showed that higher emotional ambiguity increases #falsememory for positively valenced materials. Welcome to check out at rdcu.be/dGsRt!
10 yrs ago, my MA and PhD advisor @AlexLenci1966 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!

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 @g_rambelli, @AlexLenci1966 @marco_senaldi and Philippe Blache #eacl2023
Bravo @mjieyang for your first talk!!
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:

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

The Maluma/Takete Effect is Late: New preprint! We tracked infants across their first year and found they are not sensitive to shape sound symbolism (although adults are). w/ @DavidMSidhu @AngelikiAthan @slarcher N. Czarnecki & @suz_l_curtin @SSHRC_CRSH psyarxiv.com/b83ku

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 @_LangLearning! doi.org/10.1111/lang.12543

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

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

How does #generalization come about in a second language?

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.
Excited to see this paper out! This dataset is a gold mine for anyone interested in doing research on multiword expressions. Congrats to the authors!
We've been working on a lot of semantic norming projects over the last 2 years, but this one is the biggest: Now published in #psynomBRM: Concreteness ratings for 62000 multiword expressions, with @ejmuraki @summerabdalla and Marc Brysbaert.
