Fav 2019 paper @ryanlepic's @glossa_oa "A usage-based alternative to “lexicalization” in SL linguistics." A must read article that really unpacks #UsageBasedApproaches and helps us move beyond lexicalization. Lepic, R. (2019) Glossa 4(1), 23. DOI: doi.org/10.5334/gjgl.8…

@glossa_oa

A close runner up for me is Davidson et al. "The relationship btwn verbal form & event structure in sign languages," which I appreciate for it's methodical & systematic investigation of event structure in SLs (in the same @glossa_oa issue 4(1), 123) DOI: doi.org/10.5334/gjgl.9…

@Benambridge

For 2020, who has time to read lol, but the paper to beat is really a one, two punch from @Benambridge in his "Against stored abstractions: A radical exemplar model of language acquisition" in First Language 40 (5-6) which really challenged my thinking in many ways. #Exemplars

Then, do yourself a favor & read the brilliant responses after which Ambridge's 2020 "Abstractions made of exemplars or ‘You’re all right, & I’ve changed my mind’: Response to commentators" will/should become your model of how linguistic theory/discourse should go 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@ryanlepic

Yay! We're finally in! @ryanlepic's #HDLS14 Keynote starts with a glowing recommendation/introduction from @ErinWilkinson about the importance of Ryan's work on #SLMorphology and #UsageBasedApproaches and I couldn't agree more!

I love how Ryan's keynote starts with a nod to the oddity of doing work during Covid times and the routine, simple things we are missing by not traveling for #HDLS14 especially coffee from the UNM SUB Satellite Coffee and having Frontier burritos for lunch w/ friends

@ryanlepic

Once Ryan sets his @ryanlepic points out ASL's "structuralism problem" which is that we have been spinning our wheels by trying maintain theoretical assumptions such as one form = one meaning in morphological relationships. #HDLS14

My dudes, these #HDLS14 talks/posters are so good (per uzhe, yoozh? yuzh?) I'm doing a terrible job of retweeting/threading talks/posters without the structure of synchronous talks, but I've watched SEVERAL. So here is an attempt to put them in a thread.
