We watched this scene from Clueless in my undergrad sociolinguistics class today, and I still recommend it for anyone teaching perceptual dialectology of California (a la Bucholtz et al 2007). www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUyj...

My paper with @bodowinter.bsky.social and @jwgrieve.bsky.social was published in the Journal of Linguistic Geography today. 🎉
It’s a tutorial on how to use R & ggplot2 to visualise linguistic map data.

For the first trip of my research leave, I am heading to the south coast of England today to spend a month working in an uncatalogued private family archive with much material relating to Celtic Studies, the Irish language (including dialectology) & history. Hoping for some interesting finds!

pristine Minoan paradise uncorrupted by Greeks). The decipherment of Linear B did not put an end to the Dorian invasion hypothesis, though! In fact, it helped fuel it further, and the reason comes down to dialectology. 5/

It's a revelation that you can search in JSTOR for journal articles published before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Can't wait to dig into the dialectology of those days.

It finally happened, there was a sociolinguistic emergency on a plane! Two teens in front of me were arguing about whether the U.S had different dialects, so when we landed I apologized for eavesdropping and gave them a 2-min lecture on dialectology and how dialect is a political term 🤩

I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING. I’m teaching dialectology today too so the students are gonna hear all about it!

Working on my syllabus for undergrad sociolinguistics, and I am genuinely jealous of the students, because they get to learn about so many cool things for the first time. Perceptual dialectology! Conversational style! Language planning! Multicultural London English!

#OTD 98 years ago, William Labov (1927-2024) was born 🥳 He was a pioneering sociolinguist studying language variation, dialectology, but also AAVE. In 1966, Labov published his landmark study "The Social Stratification of English in New York City".

Honestly so annoying. I am being repeatedly asked to find an AI angle for my dialectology work and I believe I would rather eat a shoe

just arrived here from that other site, so, greetings to all blueskyers! I'm looking forward to posting and reading about #linguistics, #dialectology, my native #Banat, and everything else that's good.

I have some linguistics training and am a hobbyist in English dialectology so I can often pick out older voices based on their speech, but the timbre and tremulousness of “old people voice” is actually just lung disease and loss of muscle tone.

Anyone know about research in #linguistics regarding dialectology and dogs?
If my friend's dog's name is Churro, and she has a VERY different accent from, will the dog understand when I'm calling his name? Will he know to equate my schwar with her [uɾ] realisation?
Do dogs do phonemes?
