{"pk":24104,"title":"Iconic Artificial Language Learning in the Field: An Experiment with San Martín Peras Mixtec Speakers","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The present study examines the feasibility of conducting iconic artificial language learning (ALL) experiments in a fieldwork setting. We taught the pictographic language from Shapiro and Steinert-Threlkeld (2023) to speakers of San Martín Peras Mixtec in Oaxaca, Mexico. In a qualitative analysis, we explore whether these speakers display similar word-ordering behaviors to those observed among other populations, while developing insights for future ALL field experiments. We show that iconic ALL offers a promising path forward for including understudied communities in the cognitive sciences.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Linguistics; Psychology; Language learning; Cross-linguistic analysis"}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9ds5n1qs","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Naomi","middle_name":"Tachikawa","last_name":"Shapiro","name_suffix":"","institution":"Radboud Universiteit","department":""},{"first_name":"Andrew","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hedding","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Washington","department":""},{"first_name":"Shane","middle_name":"","last_name":"Steinert-Threlkeld","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Washington","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24104/galley/13698/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24104/galley/21249/download/"}]}
