I've added new distributional semantic models trained on word2vec for nouns, verbs, and adjectives to my OSF repository osf.io/n324f/ Also trained on COCA and COHA, they perform better than the older 'bag-of-words' models I used earlier. Have fun!

Hi Twitter, I'm looking for references to construction grammar studies using experimental methods (preferably psycholinguistic) on languages other than English. I'd be grateful if you could point me to anything of that sort from your or others' work, thanks!

Alternatively, if you know of non-CxG studies that nevertheless report results compatible with construction grammar (or even better, that have already been interpreted in this way), I'd love to hear about them too!

In the Sinclair Lecture on Thursday, @dagmardivjak will be addressing the question: do the patterns we find in corpus data with the help of statistical techniques exist in the minds of language users? Please register for the event here: birmingham.ac.uk/schools/eda…

I've made the distributional semantic models used in my work on syntactic productivity available in an OSF repository: osf.io/n324f/ Long overdue (and they might be somewhat outdated) but hopefully they can still be useful!

If you are wondering about the early findings of our English Constructicon project, I gave an online lecture last December in CogniTextes

Really enjoyed participating in the #UKCLC2020 conference over the past five days. Although it was a virtual conference, I feel like I got to meet new people, listen to high-quality talks and participate in stimulating discussions. Great job, organizing team! Thank you so much.

Thanks hugely to the #UKCLC2020 organisers for an amazing conference, and for searing the image of @ortega_ger as the quiz fairy into my brain for all time.

Adele's got the task of ending the conference, explaining why children say 'explain me this'. Very excited about this since I've worked on these errors for so long with @Benambridge that they no longer sound like errors to me. #ukclc2020

Ready for the final session of #UKCLC2020, with mixed emotions as we come to the end of a delightful conference. Time to enjoy the wisdom of @adelegoldberg1 for a final hour and a half of presentation before I return to the normal world...
