Article Synopsis
- Phylogeographic and population genetics studies are essential for conserving local tea resources and improving breeding programs.
- Researchers conducted a large-scale analysis of 1,350 tea accessions from eight major tea-producing areas in Lincang, Yunnan, revealing three distinct subgroups and their potential origin centers.
- The study found low genetic diversity and minimal differentiation between geographical populations, shedding light on the evolutionary history and genetic makeup of Lincang tea.
On Language and Thought: Bilingual Experience Influences Semantic Associations.
J Neurolinguistics
November 2020
Language can influence cognition in domains as varied as temporal processing, spatial categorization, and color perception (Casasanto & Boroditsky, 2008; Levinson & Wilkins, 2006; Winawer et al., 2007). Here, we provide converging behavioral and neural evidence that bilingual experience can change semantic associations.

Vocabulary acquisition is a critical part of learning a new language. Yet, due to structural, historical, and individual variability associated with natural languages, isolating the impact of specific factors on word learning can be challenging. Artificial languages are versatile tools for addressing this problem, allowing researchers to systematically manipulate properties of the language and control for learners' past experiences.
