Peppa pig announces her pregancy without talking about the gender of the baby and italian newspapers write that Peppa Pig is welcoming her brother. This is a historical italian sexist tradition: wanting baby boys that can continue the family line. Its legacy is still alive.

Today we close the nominations for the Judith Baxter Awards - following the two weeks extension! You are still on time to candidate a brilliant researcher!

i say this as someone who does research in this field: is it that "no one has any good idea of what to do about it" or that the people with good, effective ideas are ignored and drowned out by people with terrible ideas?

I sent a pic to my brother from the beach in Hove looking towards Brighton. My brother replied with a picture of the sea in Salerno. I don't think i have to say what is which.

Quando dicono che non è facole utilizzare il linguaggio inclusivo.... (Pagina dell'università del sannio).

Yes more likely she will just tell we are woke and un-patriotic unless we go and sing in front of an audience our work? Well, either way we won't stop writing about her politics

Today, I asked students to ask ChatGPT to modify a newspaper articles. We looked at the changes together and we found that ChatGPT cannot replace language as it does not understand the purpose of the communicative event. I can only imagine the disaster in academic writing/thinking

Apparently Brighton had 0 hours of sun in the last week (BBC forecasts). Ask us how we are doing.

I am super glad to be one of the plenary speakers at Lavender 31 in August, in such a wonderful company: @lucyjones.bsky.social, Heiko Motschenbacher & @mixosaurus.bsky.social (lavlang2025.wordpress.com/about-2/). My plenary is going to be on anti-gender far-right politics (mainly in italy/italian).

Probabile che come al solito io sia una guastafeste come nelle parole di S. Ahmed ma la normalizzazione di "pret" come se non fosse cat calling mi preoccupa non poco. Capisco che alcune persone lo possano percepire come complimento..la cantante stessa..

We have extended the call for nominations until 25th February! Check elegibility - PGs and Early Career Researchers! And email us if you have questions!

Today's mood in Brighton

Watched the channel 4 documentary on Marylin Manson and it is really disgraceful how some people handled the whole story: a video producer who seems to be completely unable to talk about MM violence and obviously MM's lawyer that used the usual traps to undermine the victims. Disgusting.

our university's travel agent boasts negotiated fares that it claims offer preferential rates, and literally every fare is 30% more expensive what an absolute racket

With work done over the weekend & until 30 mins ago (extreme measure, i always try not to do any of these), we (A.L. Somma, M. Baldo and I) have submitted a chapter for an edited volume on gender inclusive lang. For reasons i'll explain soon, this might be my last piece on gender inclusive italian.

I seem to understand that one of the "mottos" is challenge/loss=opportunity. I am not totally convinced, but happy to see what you think.

At some point, I will have to adopt my usual typo: genderic masculine (instead of generic masculine) as gender is so KEY!

Full rainbow in Brighton this afternoon!
