What is Grammars Gone Mental?

Grammars Gone Mental (GGM) is a group blog about language, linguistics and cognitive science. It was started by Brian Dillon, Tim Hunter, Dave Kush, Ellen Lau, Laurel Perkins, Matt Wagers, and Ming Xiang. You can read about our motivations here.

We’re interested in many kinds of posts:

• Reactions to specific papers, debates and claims
• Bite-sized tutorials on methods, models and formal tools
• Round-ups of recent research
• Conjectures and kvetches about what we think the field is missing

We give each other feedback before anything goes up, and every post is written by its human authors. We aim to publish about once a week.

Contributing

We hope others will want to contribute and we welcome proposals from a wide range of viewpoints. If you have an idea for a post, write to us:
