[Lingustics (Silly), Boddy Horror to Some (Really, I'm not joking)]

Inventing a new phoneme, the Velar Ejective. You just have to get a velum piercing and hang increasingly heavy weights on it (start with ten grams) and do velum curls every day to learn to pronounce it.

My latest review published for @degruyterbrill.bsky.social on Alnizar's Kekerasan Linguistik. It discusses the intersection of lingustics, religion, and politics of minority representation in Indonesia.

Here's the link:

I fell into a rabbit hole a few years back tracing Louisiana / Cajun lingustics. They are truly just doing anything! Fascinating stuff.

Yup. I switched from Phyiscs (actually “Natural Philosophy” at that time, because history…) to Lingustics. You bet I took History of Science in my first year.

Yes! All us former Lingustics majors are sitting here fuming and saying things like “I do not think that word means what you think it means”.

Editors! Knowing about African American English can help you:

✔️ Recognize African American English as a legitimate language variety
✔️ Be aware of linguistic biases and prejudices
✔️ Preserve author/character identity
✔️ Prevent misinformation

Bit of lingustics nerdery but I am using "wah" as a discourse particle in a similar way to how "lah" or "lor" or "leh" are used in Singaporean or Malay English. When I end a sentence with "wah" that's how you know I'm drooling a little over you. The only discourse particle that marks lust

Hi there! It's nice to find a new platform (which seems friendly to me) to keep telling about little happy (and sometimes not) things of my life.
This blog is about study, lingustics, dances and life near the sea.
Stay tuned✨️

I'm not a lingustics nerd...I'm just...very passionate about the history of the English Language, Descriptivist methodology, and...uh...Speech Act Theory...

1000% lately in my life im learning that that triad lingustics/sociology/antropology is a huge intrest of mine, and my childhood interest in software and IT systems is now subordinate to that goal / a means to and end perhaps

uh yeah that's a good point. i can think of plenty of situations when you (plural) is totally correct in the vernacular too. u rite.

i guess i'm thinking about it in terms of how i can basically minimize harm / avoid offending, and ALSO affirm and encourage and model good lingustics / behavior.

German Lit here (double major w/CS). From my scan, they’re wiping out SPEA, Foreign Languages, Classics, all HS Ed subject matter Masters, CogSci, Computational Lingustics, and fucking up the Music School. Along with everything else.
Indiana is going to be synonymous with Oklahoma.

In this same ep they talked about the dialect used in the peloton and a rhet or lingustics person could make a great project of it
The Escape Collective folks on the Placeholders podcast discussed this and a mid-season break and decided neither will happen
They should switch the Giro and Vuelta

Today's #MondayQuote will feature another salient dictum by Ludwig Wittgenstein. If one thing can be said about Wittgenstein's writings, is that his sentences are often so simple, that they provoke an instant change in your thinking!

I'm really bad at listening to Balkan language today. Maybe just too distracted as I have to cram a lot of things into 2 hrs before I go back to work. Then there is another Mavericks basketball game tonight. Oof!🫤🤓 #langsky #Slovene #Serbian #Croatian #langsky/lingustics
