#microvariation
Today's Ancient Celtic Seminar (already session 6 of 8) brought us again to Celtiberia, and we were - amongst other things - extensively studying the exciting topic of microvariation in Celtiberian name formulae and weird sibilant characters (Ȿ).

1) Transmission of the Quranic reading traditions, and especially the written transmission that underlies the transmission of the technical data.
2) Studying Classical Arabic syntactic and morphological microvariation over space and time.
Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.

Mine:
1. The Eastern Roman and Greek context of the Qur'an
2. Aryan race theory as the foundation of modern Orientalism

e.g. seeds with soil microvariation. This view treats an individual in its microenvironmental as a trial of a chance setup, but leaves out too much about natural selection. Population-environment systems add what's missing. Distinguishing roles for fitness concepts helps in justifying the idea. 7/9

[3/12] L’hétérogénéité des habitats (variété des sédiments, reliefs, densité de nodules) favorise la diversité des espèces benthiques. Chaque microvariation structure la répartition des communautés marines, des microorganismes aux grands invertébrés. #geography #deepseamining #biodiversity

I would not claim this of the rest of linguist*ics* in general; nonhistorical work is still real as comes to language description / grammatography / lexicography, or e.g. microvariation, microtypology, any actually empirical sociolinguistics or theoretical–cognitive linguistics…

25 - Minet
Ceux qui exploitent les astéroïdes pour le minerai emportent avec eux des chats dans des combinaisons spéciales ; pour une raison ou une autre, les matous sont forts pour détecter la microvariation de gravité d'un filon de métal lourd. Évidemment, ils s'appellent tous "Minet".

Pinterest was never a stronghold but the copyright on recipes is almost entirely the pictures. Everyone has a microvariation on chicken paprikash and if you run into a version that's tsp for tsp the same as yours it's only a real battle if they stole your photos and ~tips~.

I haven't seen the term yet, so no answer here. But I can imagine that it makes sense to map - for example - the extent and forms of syntactic microvariation, even without a historical explanation (this is, in fact, my current long-term project, but with some historical extras)
