Fantastic talk where Neil makes a strong case for a multimodal model of language including speech, text, gesture, emojis, writing, images. Exciting to see the language sciences are moving away from speech-centric view of language. Great discussion w/@ozyurek_a A must watch!

Give me a shout if you’d be interested in doing a PhD with me and join our vibrant department. Topics include sign language learning by deaf children or hearing adults, language learning in hearing kids and overall multimodal communication.
Ling&Comm@UoB@Eng_Lang_UoB

Let us know if you want to apply to do a PhD with us! This is one of the main sources of funding for our students! And we will help you prepare a competitive application over the next few months!

I am very much looking forward to discussing our findings with @kschonstrom . The talk will be interpreted into Libras and International Sign
Abralin@abralin_oficial

In this talk, @ortega_ger will provide empirical evidence suggesting that learners recruit their gestural system at the earliest stages of learning and that iconic gestures may function as ‘manual cognates’. 📅 15 Sep 1pm UTC @ abral.in/ortega

What new questions of language use do we confront with the turn to digital video data and concomitant methods of movement analysis? New Abralin lecture with Alan Cienki. #gesture #language #cognition #grammar 📅 14 Jul 5pm UTC @ abral.in/cienki

@zhousiming2011 @DingemanseMark I don't know much about this domain, but the insights from this paper might be of interest to you -- Huh? What? A first survey in twenty-one languages.

@Chancy_Niu came to Birmingham as @EUErasmusPlus visiting scholar and she just submitted her first research article on description of causal events on Chinese children from a multimodal perspective. I couldn’t be more proud! Well done Chenxi!

While previous studies found the perceptual advantages of mimetic words(ideophones/onomatopoeia), our study showed that MWs also provide advantages in production. Join me at 13:00 BST/14:00 CET at #BELP2021 and see how Chinese children develop language with the help of MWs.

What is the role of mimetic words & iconic gestures when learning to talk about causal events? @Chancy_Niu will discuss her work on how Chinese speaking children (4-7 years old) use iconicity to talk about cause & result @Eng_Lang_UoB (April 23, 13:00 BST). #BELP2021

4-7 year old children make use of relationships across meanings in word learning. New results by Sammy Floyd and @adelegoldberg1 show that learning polysemy is easier than learning homonymy, but children on Autism spectrum do not show this polysemy advantage. #UKCLC2020 plenary

Excited to "see" so many brilliant minds at the fascinating @UKCLC_2020. I look forward to presenting my findings on causal event expressions by Chinese children ( the presentation is friendly to non-native speakers of Chinese😉). Join me at 3pm in Room 5 on Wednesday.
Gerardo Ortega@ortega_ger

@CaroRowland presents really cool findings that young infants pay close attention to causal events from a very early age (9 months). Infants can recognise causal events but it takes them time to encode them in their language #ukclc2020
