Today marks the day I get to start my new project "Borrowing iconic words" at the Research Foundation of Flanders [FWO]. In all practicality, I will still be based at KU Leuven, in the same office, surrounded by the same great people. But I find it super exciting!
Here's a short introduction to me and the project.
Check it out below!

Just talked about prototypicality effects for Mandarin #ABB words at this year's #IcoSem
Work with Xiaoyu Yu, Tungle Pan, and Youngah Do.
Recording of "grammatical variation in English is not so difficult", presented at #ISLE7
Feel free to contact me (Thomas Van Hoey @Thomastodont ), Matt Hunt Gardner or Benedikt Szmrecsanyi if you have any thoughts or comments~~
Not all tasks investigating iconicity are equally good at drawing out iconicity. And the learning benefit of iconic words should at least be split up into guessability and memorization.
And of course: I'm also all about that #OpenScience
So here's the link to the OSF repo

This may be because not all tasks invite people to think of form-meaning mappings as driven by iconicity.
Once given the chance to rethink and reassess the meanings of certain words, participants may tap into iconicity and choose the correct meaning after all, even if they didn’t remember whether they had learned a particular form-meaning pair.

I wrote a short and accessible blog post with the main findings
Ideophones are, once again, proven to be quite guessable. However, the guessability aspects do not necessarily correlate with memory benefits (veridical recall).

Hooray, new work with Arthur L Thompson, Youngah Do and @dingemansemark out in Cognitive Science!
