🚨 Fresh off the press today! 📰 Our new article in #Language and #Cognition shows that in #casual #conversations, humans #talk about #social #topics a lot — even more than we thought before, with 85% of conversation being about social stuff! 🗣️ Huge thanks to my co-authors and the amazing student helpers who patiently coded the texts.
If you're discussing how much humans chat about social topics (tl;dr: they talk a lot), please cite us! 🙌

Great suggestions in this essay about "temporal displacement, time loops, time skips, time slips or parallel timelines." https://www.salon.com/2023/07/25/gotta-get-back-in-time-the-current-explosion-of-time-travel-novels-goes-beyond-sci-fi-and-fantasy/
If #time is of interest, you can check out a volume of essays I edited, published by #CambridgeUP, that takes up this issue in #US #literature from its #indigenous roots to #DonDeLillo, from the #SalemWitchTrials to the #graphic novel, #RichardMcGuire's #Here. I also wrote a book on #tempo(e)rality with, you guessed it, #Poe as the (wobbly) center.
