A little late, but a highlight of 2025 for me was presenting some ongoing work looking at Present Perfect for perfective among Spanish heritage speakers in November. Paper version to drop some time after August 2026!

Great to have Sedigh Mohammadi here delivering a workshop on critical reading for our postgraduate students in the Department of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics here @unisouthampton.bsky.social. Sid was an MA student here a few years ago so it’s lovely to see his continued success!
