Moltes gràcies! Ha estat una experiència fantàstica i molt enriquidora tant a nivell acadèmic com personal. Molt content i agraït per haver pogut participar en aquesta iniciativa a través d'@upfinternational.bsky.social i per la meravellosa acollida al @pamlab.bsky.social 😄
Our chapter in Quantitative Methods in Multilingual Acquisition and Processing is out! I’m excited to be part of such a strong volume, and hopeful it might help recruit a few more undergraduate minds to the cause😊

Super excited to be in Hong Kong for a short academic stay at City University of Hong Kong. Today I’ll be giving a talk on spoken word recognition under mid-vowel variation in Catalan (see flyer below). Many thanks to Prof. Charles Chang (@pamlab.bsky.social) for being such an awesome host!
Not as excited as I am 😆 Thanks a lot for hosting me and giving me the chance to get involved in so many ways during my stay!
Last week we hosted the workshop "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Early and Late Bilingual Acquisition Research (IABAR)", bringing together researchers across Europe through the EUTOPIA Alliance to discuss how languages are learned and processed across the lifespan :D

Yesterday I was invited to give a talk at the 6th Jornadas Fonética Open Days organized by #FonoLab at @usaloficial.bsky.social. It was great to meet super nice folks doing phonetics in the area of Romance/Hispanic Linguistics and reconnect with a couple of people in my MA cohort back in 2013 (!!)
In Episode 4 of HELLO Lab Presents, we try to distill some of what we know (or think we know) about word learning for parents.

What happens when a speech sound is both everywhere and nowhere? @holmit.bsky.social shows that glottal stop /ʔ/ differently affects lexical access in #German and #Maltese, in ways that are counterintuitive to its phonemic status in those languages. doi.org/10.16995/lab... #LabPhon #openaccess
Found one in the wild! Models of the language network in a published paper in a (presumably) predatory journal.
I think I'd be concerned if a patient had four anterior temporal lobes in their lert hemisphere, it might affect their conprehension
#NeuroSkyence
Do adults with DLD continue to exhibit differences in the dynamics of spoken word recognition observed in childhood or do they resolve by adulthood? This #JSLHR study aims to address a gap in research on real-time language processing.

We wrapped up our UVALAL seminars by exploring the exciting projects of two new members of the UVALAL: @maitemg87.bsky.social and Ali Behzadnia. Fascinating topics and great discussions! 👇
Massive win for perceptual learning/recalibration fans: just learned my 2024 paper was named Journal of Phonetics' “Best Early Career Scholar’s Article of the Year.” It asks how sound difficulty + variable input shape perceptual flexibility in L2 listening.

Stay tuned for updates!
The second paper of my superstar supervisee, Sara Fernández Santos, is out in Language and Cognition. Love this work because it incorporates acoustic analysis and speech perception tasks to the study of relative-clause processing 🔥⚡️🧐

There is a growing body of research on developmental language disorder, but very few studies have focused on the role of cognitive abilities in adulthood.

thanks!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Day 2 at the LSSL (no pic this time)
🧠Spoken word recognition in bilinguals: interaction between languages. What makes bilingual spoken word recognition different from monolingual spoken word recognition? Phonological overlap, cognate words and cross-language activation.
