Article Abstract
This paper focuses on the idea that pantomime is a privileged lens for investigating the origin of language in a naturalistic framework. Two reasons support this claim. The first one concerns the motivated and iconic character of pantomime compared to the arbitrary and abstract features of linguistic signs emphasized by the conventionalist thesis. The second reason is that a pantomimic account of language origin paves the way for a rethinking of the traditional hypothesis on the relationship between thought and language. Specifically, it leads to a revision of the thesis of the unidirectional influence of language on thought in favor of a bidirectional influence. Indeed, looking at the relationship between thought and language in its nascent stage means investigating the role of thought in shaping language rather than the role of language in shaping thought. A bidirectional perspective of this type hinges on the twofold idea that thought has primarily a narrative foundation and that pantomime represents an ideal expressive means for bootstrapping the evolutionary foundations of language origins in a naturalistic framework.

Living with risk, then and now: A dual review of Cam Grey's Living with Risk in the Late Roman World and of current AI-assisted book reviewing.

This AI-assisted review article offers a dual review: a book review of Living with Risk in the Late Roman World by Cam Grey, and a critical review of the current potential of large language models (LLMs), specifically ChatGPT's DeepResearch mode, to assist in thoughtful and scholarly book reviewing within risk science. Grey's book presents an innovative reconstruction of how communities in the late Roman Empire perceived and adapted to chronic environmental and societal risks, emphasizing spatial variability, cultural interpretation, and the normalization of uncertainty. Drawing on commentary from a human reviewer and a parallel AI-assisted analysis, we compare the distinct strengths and limitations of each approach.

Background: Psychological interventions such as medical hypnosis, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques are emerging as promising tools in the management of persistent dyspnea. Their integration into clinical practice, however, is limited by the scarcity of validated outcome measures in non-English languages.
Objectives: This study aimed to provide linguistically validated French versions of four questionnaires selected for their potential relevance in assessing the psychological and perceptual dimensions of dyspnea: the Breathlessness Catastrophizing Questionnaire (BCQ), the Breathlessness Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ), the COPD Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES), and the Three-Domain Interoceptive Sensations Questionnaire (THISQ).
Interpretable LLM-Based Detection of Loose Associations Using Synthetic Speech Data in Early Psychosis.

MIT linQ, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, United States.
Background And Hypothesis: Loose Associations (LA) in speech are key indicators of psychosis risk, notably in schizophrenia. Current detection methods are hampered by subjective evaluation, small samples, and poor generalizability. We hypothesize that combining Large Language Models (LLMs) with machine learning techniques could enhance objective identification of LA through improved semantic and probabilistic linguistic measures.

The influence of communication anxiety on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) is well-documented. However, the role of teachers, including task design, teacher support, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration on L2 WTC in the context of digital transformation of education remains underexplored. This study investigates how these teacher-related factors affect learners' L2 WTC by considering the mediating effect of communication anxiety.

The traditional manual literature screening approach is limited by its time-consuming nature and high labor costs. A pressing issue is how to leverage large language models to enhance the efficiency and quality of evidence-based evaluations of drug efficacy and safety. This study utilized a manually curated reference literature database-comprising vaccine, hypoglycemic agent, and antidepressant evaluation studies-previously developed by our team through conventional systematic review methods.
