@fbisnath encourages us to reflect on our methods/approaches and not use the tools or contructs of the oppressors to argue for the legitimacy or coolness (my term) of particular languages #linguistics #ALT #typology

taking a moment today to watch my superb student @fbisnath critique “complexity” wrt sign language #typology — and give advice for how to move forward — at an excellent ALT workshop put together by Lina Hou & Erin Wilkinson! https://sites.google.com/view/alt2022/workshops?authuser=0 🤩

#SAFAL2022 continues with a keynote from Megha Sundara on how phonetic cues support morphological learning in young infants (see pic for baby raptly attending to this highly relevant work). At first, infants exploit homophony to induce suffixes, noting token frequency, and later, bottom up processing interacts with top-down info. And now theyre extending this work to Kannada, but we need a lot more #corpora esp. of spoken varieties! #acquisition #linguistics

this talk was especially resonant for me because i was getting child malayalam data shouted at me the whole time (but at a much earlier stage, so just some isolated words, and also my kid hasnt produced “i” yet in any language 🤷🏽‍♀️)

#SAFAL2022 continues with a great study on production of tense in child Malayalam by Gayathri Krishnan. Really rich corpus that is gonna be on #CHILDES soon!! Lots of great examples of overgeneralization of an -i ending (tho also this is variation present in adult Malayalam too, which is super cool!) #acquisition #linguistics
