post-docs in 2023?
ILCB's monthly newsletter N°20 - December 15th, 2022
Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain Bringing together experts in linguistics, neuroscience, psychology, medicine and computer science to understand and to model how language functions.

Dear members of the ILCB community,

This is the last newsletter of the year 2022. Looking back at all the events that took place during the year (annual retreat, summer school, workshops, conferences, lunch talks…), I can proudly say that we successfully resisted the temptation to “stay home” and wait for safer times to come. So yes, I think 2022 was as good as it gets thanks to your time and effort.

I am also pleased to announce that we just launched our postdoc call for 2023. You will find all the information on our website. Please share the link with your international network.

You may want to invite postdoc (or doc) applications on specific topics you are interested in. Doing this is as simple as adding a pre-proposal on the website. This also has the advantage that interested students from abroad who do not yet know the ILCB well can easily find potential supervisors and collaborators. Please send the pre-proposals directly to Sabrina Rodrigues.

I wish you all a relaxing Xmas break and a great start into the New Year!

Johannes

Quote of the month

Stratégie de non-cession des droits

 

 

"En tant que chercheuse ou chercheur, vous êtes titulaire des droits de propriété intellectuelle sur les manuscrits dont vous êtes l’auteur. [...] La stratégie de non-cession des droits (Rights Retention Strategy – RRS en anglais) vous invite à ne plus céder, de manière exclusive, vos droits d’auteur aux éditeurs de revues scientifiques. Grâce à ce mécanisme, vous conservez la maîtrise de la diffusion de vos manuscrits [...] L’ANR le demande pour les projets lauréats à partir du Plan d’action 2022 et la Commission européenne pour les projets de recherche financés par Horizon Europe."

"As a researcher, you own the intellectual property rights to the manuscripts you have authored. [...] The Rights Retention Strategy (RRS) invites you to no longer assign your copyrights exclusively to journal publishers. Thanks to this mechanism, you retain control over the distribution of your manuscript [...] The ANR requires it for projects awarded from the 2022 Action Plan onwards, and the European Commission for research projects funded by Horizon Europe."

 

 

Figure of the month
Communicative Feedback in Language Acquisition

 

Children communicate and use language in social interactions from a very young age. They experiment with their developing linguistic knowledge and receive valuable feedback from their interlocutors. We formalize a mechanism for language acquisition, whereby children can improve their linguistic knowledge in conversation by leveraging explicit or implicit signals of communication success or failure. Examples for such communicative feedback signals are shown in the figure above. Our review article envisions a more complete understanding of language acquisition within and through social interaction.
