Katja PolittInspiriert durch die #iclc16 und @stefanhartmann gibt es auf dem #NLK24 auch Stopschilder für diejenigen, die einfach nicht aufhören wollen. Zum Einsatz kamen sie aber noch nicht 😄
Martin SchäferAfter the huge #iclc16 conference, I am about to leave for the exact opposite type of event: instead of 14 parallel sessions, just 10 talks at #rtanjLinguistics4, with ample time for discussion. I am talking about "Modification and the nature of adjectives", and I am looking very much forward to everything about this event, including traveling there via Budapest and Belgrad with first train and then bus. https://sites.google.com/view/rtanj/home
RTANJ Linguistics 4
After skipping three editions due to you know what, we are finally back! The fourth edition of Research Techniques and Approaches: New Journeys in Linguistics (RTANJ Linguistics 4) will take place August 24-27, 2023. RTANJ Linguistics usually takes place in the Rtanj mountains in Central Serbia. A
Stefan HartmannIf you want to read up on #ICLC16, take a look at @jn‘s megathread starting here https://fediscience.org/@jn/110847328788583288

Attached: 2 images Heike Behrens starts the first #iclc16 plenary with a brief history of usage-based approaches to language (L1 & L2) We now know that the input of language provides the necessary information to learn it. Language emergence haplens at different time frames: What we need more research in is social emergence and interactional emergence. We haven't fully looked at all the info that are available from the input (discourse skills, managing interaction, beyond just lexicon)
Anatol StefanowitschThe sixth day of #iclc16 begins! Looking forward to the plenary by… wait, where is everybody?!?
Jonas 𝓜. NölleHuge props to @stefanhartmann and the whole organizing team of #iclc16 for making this a great conference!

The theme session on communicative efficiency by Anita Slonimska and Natalia Levshina was really cool! Lots of interesting points raised, and great to see multimodality research represented at #iclc16
Gertraud Fenk-Ocszlon discusses working memory constraints and their implications for efficient coding of MSG's #iclc16
The more predictable, the shorter and first in the sequence. To place high info amount early would lead to cognitive overload.
WM constraints the avg lvl of information being transmitted.
WM = set of processes holding mental representations temporarily available for use in thought & action (Cowan 2017)

Alexander Koplening (with Sascha Wolfer & Peter Meyer) argues that languages trade off complexity against efficiency
