This Friday 4pm is my professorial inaugural "From Birds to Words: Onomatopoeia, Metaphor, and the Language of Birdsong" (w/ BSL interpretation).
There'll be a lot of iconicity in it! If you're interested, you can register for the webinar under this link:

Pleased that my new chapter that will be published in the International Encyclopedia of Language and Linguistics has now been published online: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Currently wrapping up work on a Statistical Consultancy project for @marahjaraisy.bsky.social's investigation into the Kufr Qassem deaf community, focusing on semiotic strategies used for tracking referents in signed narratives, part of @adamcschembri.bsky.social's ERC-funded SignMorph grant. (1/4)
New preprint paper (to appear in Journal of Linguistics) with @fbisnath.bsky.social, Hannah Lutzenberger, @marahjaraisy.bsky.social, and Rehana Omardeen
'Deconstructing notions of morphological ‘complexity’: Lessons from creoles and sign languages'
Proud to be part of this team! osf.io/tmkrw
Finally! Super excited to share that our paper on morphological 'complexity' is out!!
Pleased to announce that I passed my PhD viva today!
Are there studies on research methods for investigating historically marginalised communities that emphasise the need to adapt every aspect (and I mean every aspect, if needed, including ethics, consent, etc) of the research to the community’s context and priorities?
This project wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration and support of the Kufr Qassem deaf community, and many many others.
I would also like to thank my supervisors @adamcschembri.bsky.social and @mperlman.bsky.social for their incredible support!
