Minds !n Linguistics Mourns Stephen R. Anderson

Renowned linguist Stephen R. Anderson, who served on the Yale faculty from 1994 to 2017, has passed away. Anderson was widely respected for his influential work in phonology, morphology, and language evolution, and for his leadership as President of the Linguistic Society of America and Vice-President of the CiPL. His research bridged multiple areas of linguistics and cognitive science, leaving a lasting impact on the field.

What Makes PhD Students Happy?

(Answer: Having a Good Supervisor)

An article published in Nature on October 23, 2025, explored what contributes most to PhD students’ satisfaction. A survey of 3,700 doctoral students from various countries revealed that having a supportive supervisor and maintaining a positive relationship with them are the strongest predictors of happiness during the PhD journey.

Half of the respondents reported that their supervisors spent less than one hour per week meeting with them. In contrast, in Brazil and Australia, about 82–83% of students expressed satisfaction with their supervision.

Big news! The first episode of Saturday Talks from Minds !n Linguistics is coming very soon — stay tuned!

The only thing more impactful than the coffee is the sheer willpower it took to not just title it: "WHY I DRINK 5 CUPS A DAY: A SELF-STUDY." 😂

Today, I visited the Erbil Citadel, an ancient site estimated to be around 8,000 years old.
It is fascinating to reflect on how people communicated at that time — what languages they spoke, how they expressed their thoughts, and what writing systems, if any, they used.

It talks. But does it understand?
Episode #0 is here — What AI Reveals About How Humans Use Language.
