Posting digitally enhanced photos of yourself could have a social cost, researchers find
The use of disclaimer labels on digitally enhanced portraits could have unintended social consequences for their subjects, according to a study by a team of °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê researchers.
Analysis of more than a century’s worth of political speeches challenges theory about how linguistic usage evolves
A study led by °Ä¿Í¾º²Ê researchers challenges the theory that language change over time requires new generations to replace older generations of speakers. Rather, when words change meaning, speakers of all ages participate; while older speakers might take two or three years longer than their younger colleagues to adopt new word usage, in some cases they lead the way in introducing new word meanings into the common vocabulary, the researchers found.
