Originalist debates often draw on historical analysis.

Yet in statutory cases, textualist decisions--and critiques of them--rarely draw on linguistics.

Linguistics can and should inform debates about textualism: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

+ Zotero released their ipad app in 2023. I have for consistency stuck to it for reading/synthesis. Just makes it easy that I don't have to manage it in different places for different devices.
- Goodnotes, their annotation tools even with premium seem somewhat deficient.

I have heard tales of browser add-ons that takes care of it for you.
Seems simple to program, a bit of work to maintain.

But that's all highly confident unfounded meta cognitive guess.

So I do to pay approximate same level of attention to both of them, which is higher than that of a white-noise TV show that I play in the background when cooking/cleaning.

The main difference for me is probably that podcasts are smaller and don't have "large" plot that needs to be followed.

I maybe in a different bucket slightly. I rarely listen to audiobooks for fiction, so both audiobooks and podcasts are for content rather than pure delight (which I read fiction as e-books).

I have come to count and let count audiobooks as books read. However, I would vehemently defend someone's argument how audiobook is passive reading while text medium is active reading.

Audio and Visual processing are not the same.

My unsolicited grad school applications advice since tis the season.
If you have access to a University Writing Center, make use of them.
The Writing Center at #cuboulder was really really helpful, and is generally an underused resource.

I am really curious to see what semantic task does not require modeling syntax.
I would expect a non-lexical abstract semantic task, maybe something exists in the corners of theoretical semantics where we stop thinking about forms and only work with features.

BenchCLAMP: A Benchmark for Evaluating Language Models on Syntactic and Semantic Parsing Recent work has shown that generation from a prompted or fine-tuned language model can perform well at semantic parsing when the output is constrained to be a valid semantic representation. We introdu...

I think Semantic Parsing would be a good option, although to which representation probably depends on your requirements.
arxiv.org/abs/2206.10668 seems to have both side by side.
