Spatial Demonstratives and Perspective Taking in English and Japanese. [PDF]

Cogn Sci
Abstract There is much debate regarding the extent to which languages express the same spatial parameters or whether spatial communication is essentially diverse. In this paper, we explore “perspective taking” in spatial demonstrative systems as a means of exploring between and within language variation.

Development of Event Segmentation in Language and Cognition: Evidence From Dwell Times and Eye Movements. [PDF]

Cogn Sci
Abstract To navigate in and communicate about the continuous world we experience, our minds segment this experience into discrete event units. Yet, languages differ in how they package core aspects of events into linguistic units. Here, we ask how event units in language and cognition relate to each other, and how this relation might change during ...

Sociolinguistic Typology Meets Historical Corpus Linguistics

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 546-567, November 2023., 2023
Abstract This paper makes the case for using historical corpora to assess questions of sociolinguistic typology. A full account of any contact‐induced change will need to establish what the linguistic innovation in question was, who was in contact, where and when the contact took place and how the change happened, both at the individual level and at ...

Testing Inferences about Language Contact on Morphosyntax: A Typological Case Study on Alorese–Adang Contact

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 513-545, November 2023., 2023
Abstract When linguists make inferences about language contact, control data is required for reliable analysis. Historical data or reconstructions are typically used for that purpose. However, historical data is globally mostly unavailable, and reconstructions are laborious if comparing outcomes of language contact in a typological way.
