This year, the week on "The Self Online" is entirely #LinguisticAnthropology! I swapped the Abidin & Gwynne reading with @jiarui-sun.bsky.social 's 2025 #JLA article, "Patriotic Youth or Toxic Men", which won the 2023 John Gumperz Prize from the Society for Linguistic Anthropology!
I'm leading our core MA Sociology module this semester. So of course I'm putting some linguistic anthropology articles into the required reading list 😏 Our topic this week is "The Self Online" and we're reading works by Manning & Gershon @structureless.bsky.social and by Ross @skort.bsky.social

Why does Mandarin use “mouth” inside the word for “lips”? A new study of 1,900+ languages finds that partial word reuse follows strict universal logic — balancing efficiency against the risk of confusion. #LinguisticAnthropology #LanguageEvolution #CognitiveLinguistics
Why Languages Don’t Just Reuse the Same Word Twice
A new study of nearly 2,000 languages reveals the hidden logic behind how word forms get recycled — and when they don’t.

Relational Anthropology – A Relational Anthropologist’s Guide to Linguistic Theory
Chapter Twenty Six Chapter 26 — A Relational Anthropologist’s Guide to Linguistic Theory The Four F’s in the Land of Language Linguistic Anthropology has always been closer to relationality than any other subfield. It studies meaning as it emerges between people, not inside them. It treats language as a social act, a cultural inheritance, a relational technology. But even here, the canon is a mix of kin, obstacles, nourishment, and inspiration. The Four F’s reveal who moved toward relation, who clung to structure, who fed the field, and who lit the fire.
