Linguist and SLP at NYU. Trying to raise a bilingual child in a mostly monolingual household.

Something different! My piece for @Slate: When parents make a decision to raise a child bilingual, it should be about expanding opportunities for human connection, not based on claims of “bilingual cognitive advantage." slate.com/human-interest/202…

After seeing this post months ago, I literally cannot cite a website without getting the Gaston song stuck in my head...
No one writes like Gaston No one cites like Gaston No one properly sources websites like Gaston

It's a new academic year. In your SLP/SLT and linguistic anatomy classes I would beg you to consider some minor changes to lingual anatomy class. Perhaps, that vowels are produced by grooving or doming different sectors by transversus & genioglossus. ICYMI pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

Twitter isn't the happiest place these days, so I'm going to start a thread sharing some of the hilarious code-switching my 2-year-old is coming up with as she adds L2 French (which she hears ~20% of the time) to L1 English:

4 years old: While watching a show in French, she told me in English, ‘Those are wheel foxes.’ Huh? Finally figured out she had interpreted ‘renard roux’ (= red fox) as ‘renard roue’ (=wheel fox) 🦊🛞

Excited to share the last study of my dissertation! We describe changes in /ɹ/ in #SSD following ten 40-min sessions. Therapy included AI that drove sessions by predicting clinician perceptual judgment during #EBP Speech Motor Chaining. @JPreston_SLP pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

Stealing this to use every time I tell a student "the difference between significant and non-significant is not itself statistically significant"
Replying to @rlmcelreath
Good example of how experiments only help with causal inference if the researchers know enough about causal inference to analyze them correctly.

J’avais un peu la tête dans le fondement hier matin. J’ai parlé de simplification de l’orthographe et un journaliste a donné son avis très pertinent après mon intervention. « Imbécile, un L, car ça concerne un seul individu, imbécilité, deux L, car c’est beaucoup plus grave, ça concerne tout le monde, mettre deux L est tout à fait justifié ». En effet. 😬
