PLoS One . 2023 Jul; 18(7):e0276470. PMID: 37405982
We know that speech planning in conversational turn-taking can happen in overlap with the previous turn and research suggests that it starts as early as possible, that is, as soon...

Skirgard H, Haynie H, Blasi D, Hammarstrom H, Collins J, Latarche J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2023 Apr; 9(16):eadg6175. PMID: 37075104
While global patterns of human genetic diversity are increasingly well characterized, the diversity of human languages remains less systematically described. Here, we outline the Grambank database. With over 400,000 data...

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2023 Mar; 378(1875):20210481. PMID: 36871589
Human communication displays a striking contrast between the diversity of languages and the universality of the principles underlying their use in conversation. Despite the importance of this interactional base, it...

Kendrick K, Holler J, Levinson S
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2023 Mar; 378(1875):20210473. PMID: 36871587
Human communicative interaction is characterized by rapid and precise turn-taking. This is achieved by an intricate system that has been elucidated in the field of conversation analysis, based largely on...

Garrido Rodriguez G, Norcliffe E, Brown P, Huettig F, Levinson S
Cogn Sci . 2023 Jan; 47(1):e13292. PMID: 36652288
We present a visual world eye-tracking study on Tseltal (a Mayan language) and investigate whether verbal information can be used to anticipate an upcoming referent. Basic word order in transitive...

Cognition . 2022 Sep; 229:105223. PMID: 36113197
The evolution of basic color terms in language is claimed to be stimulated by technological development, involving technological control of color or exposure to artificially colored objects. Accordingly, technologically "simple"...

Levinson S
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci . 2022 Jul; 377(1859):20210108. PMID: 35876196
The deep structural diversity of languages suggests that our language capacities are not based on any single template but rather on an underlying ability and motivation for infants to acquire...

Trujillo J, Levinson S, Holler J
R Soc Open Sci . 2022 Apr; 9(4):211489. PMID: 35425638
In human communication, when the speech is disrupted, the visual channel (e.g. manual gestures) can compensate to ensure successful communication. Whether speech also compensates when the visual channel is disrupted...
