Great paper on the genetics of human speech: “These findings suggest that during human evolution, the I197V substitution in NOVA1 protein may have contributed to the development of neural systems involved in more complex vocal communication”.

On Darwin Day, two of my favorite quotes. One about language and the other about languages. Pure inspiration.
- "Man has an instinctive tendency to speak, as we see in the babble of our young children, while no child has an instinctive tendency to bake, brew, or write"
- "The formation of different languages and of distinct species, and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously the same"

El sentido del número y el instinto del lenguaje: semejanzas, diferencias y evolución.
¿Cómo se relacionan el conocimiento numérico y el conocimiento del lenguaje? En este texto propongo un modelo específico en el que la sintaxis es la base de ambas capacidades humanas.

Acaba de publicarse este interesante volumen sobre la divulgación de la lingüística. En el capítulo "La divulgación científica de la lingüística" propongo una reflexión sobre cómo determinar qué tipo de ciencia es la lingüística y sobre cuántos tipos de lingüística hay. Muchas gracias a los editores por su confianza y enorme trabajo.

Excellent summary by Ben Brubaker. My thought is that if Transformers learn English better than impossible languages, while earlier neural networks did not, perhaps it is because Transformers contain biases toward human grammar that derive from their original design for the specific task of generating English text.

I think I learned two essential things from reading Labov: that linguistic changes are accidental, not directed, and that it is not true that every word has its own history (i.e., that phonetic laws are real). A true giant of contemporary linguistics.
