Preprint w @Anniesotropic & @drculbertson. What happens when category-specific & system-wide biases are in conflict? We show in a noun phrase silent gesture experiment that the former come to the fore in language creation, the latter in language learning. psyarxiv.com/ynxq9/ – at Israel

Preprint with Fang Wang & @drculbertson. Fang’s artificial language learning experiments show word order harmony for some phrases and not others, mirroring real world cross-linguistic distribution, driven in part by semantic similarity across categories. psyarxiv.com/b3865/ – at Edinburgh, Scotland

In 1988, @paul_smolensky had a seminal debate against Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn at MIT arguing over connectionism and symbolic computation. The recording of this debate is now available on youtube!
