Book Review: The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

A step somewhat outside of the author's usual métier... but plus ça change for Leigh Bardugo, it seems, observes @chloroform_tea at the NOAF blog

@NerdsofaFeather @chloroform_tea @bookstodon Something in the water this week! My review for tomorrow is also about Jews in Inquisitiony Spain!

Let's get this @academicchatter moving with a question every academic can chime in on:

What are the top websites/blogs you go to for news of what's going on in your field?

@ml @academicchatter I subscribe to couple of mailing lists -- Architectures and Mechanisms of Language Processing, and Human Sentence Processing Society. That keeps me up to date with job announcements, calls for conference papers, and the occasional large collaborative project.

I used to sign up for lists of new publications form key journals, but now the only time I have for reading is when I'm doing a lit review for a specific project anyway, and then I just run to Google Scholar.

Is there a term for an interlocutor saying the last word of the previous speaker’s sentence in unison with them? Not just occasionally or when the previous speaker is having trouble recalling a word, but nearly every sentence, possibly even when that sentence is not the end of a turn? I’m looking for articles or research about this out of personal curiosity.

@abdalian @linguistics I have a student who does that. It's maddening.
