I’m just sitting here reading all the #languagelog tributes to Bill Labov and ugly crying. What a legacy.

A student stayed after class to give me the most amazing gift basket of homemade goodies, including these magnets. I LOVE them. We could totally sell these as merch at NWAV, Sociolinguistics Symposium, etc.

I loved doing this interview and our discussion. And it is so great to get feedback on the textbook I wrote. Use it; it’s free thanks to Open Access funding!

This is not me complaining about language. This is me trying to understand what the quotation marks mean on these signs. Er, it’s the UK: the inverted commas. Minus points if your response includes complaints about apostrophes and the demise of grammar.

I have been in Dublin for all of 10 minutes, and have already heard the f-word twice, and both from unexpected mouths: one an 8-year-old (or so) boy, one from an 80-year-old (or so) woman. Wow 🍀

Because "Life in a New Language" has 6 authors, we've started a podcast series where each author tells their side of the story: in Episode 1, Donna Butorac shares how her experience as an ESL teacher got her interested in the lives of migrant women www.languageonthemove.com/life-in-a-ne...

Yesterday I was teaching about third wave linguistics. When I was discussing the Beijing yuppie study, someone raised their hand to ask me to what a yuppie is. And then most of the class concurred: yeah, what’s a yuppie? I didn’t quite recover, and still haven’t. The generation gap is REAL.

We are very happy to host Dr Matt Hunt Gardner in Helsinki this week to hear about his fascinating work on pulmonic ingressive YUP. Fortunately he made it here, even after after I typed his name wrong on his airline booking. Hope you’ll be able to leave, @matthuntgardner.bsky.social 😘

Yesterday I did one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done in my life: an interview IN FINNISH for TV. I had a sleepless night or two, but somehow I survived it. And I guess the Finnish language will survive it, too.

Here we go!! I am so excited right now. I feel like I do some of my best linguistic work when I’m in the garden. I often find myself thinking of Lesley Milroy, because she is a badass gardener and a badass linguist. Aspirations.
