A pale pink bubble tea drink with a cartoon cat riding a skateboard that says 'emoji' holding a bubble tea and a red pistol that says 'super'
As soon as I saw Canberra had a bubble tea place called SuperEmoji I knew there was only one place for 2025 scheming meeting with Jess Kruk while we were both at #als2024.
Very successful schemings, with both gesture and #lingcomm plans afoot.
Final day of the #ALS2024 conference! Check out the programme for today, and the plenary talk this afternoon given by Prof. Virginia Yip from CUHK.

On my way to #als2024 and sat near a woman on the bus with the word semantics on a t-shirt. Immediately asked her if she was going to conference and whether she was a linguist...
Turns out Semantics is a band?

Caroline Hughes starting today at #als2024 with a talk about AIATSIS and its purpose as it celebrates its 60th anniversary.
Hey Kita: from the West Midlands to the Australian Capital Territory! Nice to see you at #als2024.
Samantha Rarrick, a white woman, at the front of a lecture theatre in front of a PowerPoint slide with a nice template
Samantha Rarrick on eyeblinks in Hawai'i Sign Language, and variation when the same people are using ASL. Eyeblinks with HSL are much lower than anything found in the sign language literature so far.

Lauren Reed and a fabulous team of colleagues from Tilburg Uni with a study of response tokens (eg "mm hm") in five really diverse sign languages.
Overwhelmingly nodding and other non-manual. Parallel to spoken languages, a low effort turn. #als2024
Kita, a Japanese man in a white business shirt with the sleeves rolled up, standing in front of a PowerPoint slide with blue gradient background with black text saying Gesture, Language and Thought.
First day and a half of #als2024 is a gesture workshop, and the first talk is from Kita. What a perfect start to the conference.
Falkland Islands English has a small set of lexical items from Spanish. They're a loved, but less used part of the language now.
Similarly, with students now all going to England for the last two years of schooling, more convergence on standard syntactic forms.

Dave Briton, an affable, bearded white guy in a white linen shirt, standing at a lecturn with a PowerPoint presentation behind him.
First plenary of #ALS2024 is Dave Briton, with an introduction to work on Falkland Islands English.
Early work in the 1980s noted it was remarkably unremarkable. More recent work by Dave and team shows interesting feature traces depending whether your migrating ancestors were Scottish or not.
This blog post whimsy from a couple of years ago is now a conference paper I'll be presenting next week at #als2024
My coauthor Claire collected and coded a corpus of 100 examples. She is a treasure. Very excited this paper is now Gawne & Gawne. Hoping to write it up next year.
Looking forward to meeting up with fellow linguists + presenting my work on dominance and recency in L3 acquisition at the ALS conference next week! 🧠🔍 #linguistics #ALS2024
