This is a new #saying for me, and I can't find any references to it in Google books or on the web in general. #Crawford is from #Omaha, so maybe it's a saying in #Nebraska considering the states #agriculture activities. It implies to me that one is making a commotion to get whatever it is one wants to come out of talk.

942 followers · 195 posts · Server fediscience.orgI've recently noticed a pronunciation in American English of auxiliaries/modals ending in [d] with a cliticized negative particle, where the [d] is dropped and the negative particle is pronounced with a schwa-like sound – so, for example, _couldn't_ is pronounced /'kʊnət/, _didn't_ is pronounced /'dɪnət/, and so on. I'm wondering whether this is a new thing or whether I've just never noticed it (it seems to be rare). Anybody familiar with AmE #dialectology know more about this? @linguistics

TIL that some speakers inflect the “on X's behalf” construction for plural, labiodental voicing and all, and it's truly blown my mind

In case you were wondering, about me and cats: well, I have combined my love of cats and linguistics in my upcoming publication: "Purrieties of Language: How We Talk about Cats Online", which is due out at the end of February. It's available for preorder here: https://www.cambridge.org/at/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/sociolinguistics/purrieties-language-how-we-talk-about-cats-online?format=PB 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

An ancestor of mine, Archpriest Francesco Paulo Caputi did one of the first studies in #dialectology looking at the same story told in each #dialetto from the 5 villages in the upper Agri Valley of #Basilicata. The differences in each reflect the very different political histories of each village. #storiaitaliana #storia #ItalianHistory #histodons #linguistics #italia

I’m used to someone, like me, who plays the /ˈpʲæ.no/ being called a /ˈpi.ə.nɪst/ #BrE
But – and I don’t know how I’ve never heard this before – now I know that an American might call me a /ˈpʲæ.nɪst/ #AmE
Not sure what would happen to words like pianism and pianistic though 🤷♀️

I am using my blog for my "research notes" on cat-related language variation, i.e. cat-inspired online dialects. The latest entry is on the link between #cats and #dialectology

what word would you use for yawning? 'gape' (meaning 'be wide open') was borrowed from Old Norse, but then shifted in some dialects to mean 'yawn' in the 15th century. #historyofenglish #linguistics #englishlanguage #dialect #maps #mapporn #dialectology #dataviz #gis #variation
