The horrific reality for people of #Gaza & #Israel since 7 October 2023 detailed in @UNHumanRights report.
Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women.
Unprecedented violations of IHL give rise to concerns of atrocity crimes. The violence must stop immediately.

Paper alert! 📢 Check out the paper by @symbolicstorage et al. which debates #compositionality in #linguistics. Is it a defining feature of human #language? 🤔 The authors examine usage-based views and cultural transmission. link.springer.com/article/10… #PTNCE @cles_ncu

2 weeks of Israel pounding Gaza:
- 4385 Palestinians killed, 60+% kids (1756) & women (967)—local authorities
-~1.4 million displaced
-~30% of homes destroyed/damaged
- Electricity, water, food, meds cut
Whatever Israel says, it's waging war on ppl of Gaza. When is enough enough?

Veel wetenschappers, waaronder @leoniecornips, pleiten voor een bredere, minder mensgerichte blik op taal. Waarom roept ‘dierentaal'-onderzoek nog zo vaak weerstand op bij taalkundigen? Een mooi artikel door Sterre Leufkens @strr @NEMOkennislink

A new special issue in Phil Trans B takes aim at one of the most fascinating aspects of the mind: the ability to think about possibilities.
What might happen next? What might have happened but didn't? How do we get to grips with possible worlds?

Vandaag kopt het CBS: 9.7% inflatie. Inflatie raakt de laagste inkomens het hardst. Alleen beseffen we nog amper hoe hard.

I spent most of my childhood in and out of refugee camps and I'm thinking about how different my life would've been if all these nations had opened their borders to my family when we were fleeing political conflict in the early 90s. Instead we lingered in refugee camps for 7 yrs.
