So sad to hear of Ian Maddieson's passing. He was an amazing linguist but also an inspiring instructor and a big part of why I went into phonetics. I've always been in awe of the depth and breadth of his knowledge of the most obscure languages and will miss his kindness and wit. RIP, Ian~ 🐦🐦

Adult language features vision verbs frequently, followed by hearing, but rarely touch. In young children's language, we find vision verbs do appear first and more frequently, but touch appears before hearing, consistent with embodied accounts of meaning. doi.org/10.1111/cogs.13469
