American living in Norway teaching sign language linguistics my 3rd and 4th languages. Interested in the psychology of bimodal bilingualism. I also spend a lot of time doing data analysis for my co-authors but I've basically just fooled them all into thinking I know what I am doing. Currently on sick leave for brain cancer.

i have taken two phone calls this week on my cell phone. this is more than the last two semesters pretty sure!

can podcasts include how many times i need to press forward to skip their ads on the "about"?

#rstats would you ever put a decision tree (like the result of a CART analysis) on a conference poster with folks who don't know the method at all or nah too much work to explain?

T, G, P, Q are completely wrong in the video. Many others have smaller errors.

I really hope the project owners will read these articles:

#linguistics A somewhat counterintuitive confession from an academic, but I really struggle to stay focused for long periods reading. I admit this because I have been very interested in reading Linguistic Bodies (https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/linguistic-bodies). In a fit of laziness after purchasing the book I happened upon the following talk on youtube: https://youtu.be/9tg2uP222YA which has been a great introduction to the main ideas. I highly recommend a listen. Or if you don't have my attention problems...the book!

hate to do this but there's some interesting responses over on the Twitter crosspost of this https://twitter.com/bananabull/status/1520352687778324480?t=S0ISX6jrJAxrH-hsWQwr-g&s=19 #noxp

#linguistics #signlanguage anyone know when an extended middle finger became ubiquitously a vulgar emblem? I ask because I have observed older folks doing regular indexing with it instead. and it makes sense to me since it is longer than the index ☝️🖕

@TimoRoettger *wave*

i can't find it. please send help. #email

BTW: @ellotheth happened across this great analogy for how mastodon works that helped me a lot and maybe it will help some other folks too https://bungle.online/notes/8zl6l0gbml

tldr: mastodon is like email servers. even if i am on google and you are on outlook we can still email each other!

@amolith Please add me to Linguistics, Norway. #Trunk #noxp

I made this for my colleague Lindsay Ferrara. She's not on mastodon, but this drives her INSANE.
