And just to add #meowlogisms in #German to my ever growing collection of feline-inspired words:

Advokatz (Advokat), Pause Tatze (Pausetaste), Katzapult (Katapult), Miatube (YouTube), Musikatze (Katzenmusikanten),, Duplikatze (Duplikat), schnurrstracks (schnurstracks), schnurrtastisch (fantastisch)

translations into English ): advo-cat, paws button, cat-apult, meow-tube, musician, dupli-cat, straight away, fantastic

Meowza! These are good meowlogisms. Love them, and somehow these are the first contemporary pawliticians from the US that I have come across in my research. Weird somehow, but I have more from the UK and older ones, like Margaret Catcher, Napawleon, and the likes.

A new day at the #Aktivcongress. The session is already ongoing. Though I kind of had some trouble getting up after :thisisfine: #OverLogging, I feel refreshed and ready to interact with people who care about #privacy and #HumanRights in #DigitalSpaces and our daily life.

For me, the pace and mood here is conveyed best by a song of @deannaistyping I listened to in the morning at 📻 @radiofreefedi. This station always has something in store for me when I start into the day.

You do not necessarily have to follow online cats on social media to read the book, but if you do, you might have come across one or the other cat-inspired linguistic process before or have perhaps found a meowlogism not mentioned in the book. Yet, regardless of your online habits, a curiousity for all things feline and linguistic is the only thing required.

Life in an age of information excess… We are non-stop navigating diverse information environments, digital representations of reality, that are in constant flux. Using hand-held comprehension compasses that struggle to keep pace, find footholds, within these fluid environments.

Knotenkadser #German for male cat in a knot

der Kadser: made up from Katze and Kater, Kadse/Gadse is internet purriety for cat

What are cats doing in linguistics? A lot, actually. Not just that they feature in the research literture out there but also because you can use cat examples to explain linguistic concepts. And this is pawsome. Well, for me anyway

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 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈

If you are interested in feline-inspired words 🐈 across social media platforms, check out my blog. I have uploaded my Google Sheets file with keywords and variants. Cat-related linguistic data available now on my blog now: https://meowfactor.hypotheses.org/3655

I study the way we make meaning through communication and the affect this has on #democraticdiscourse. Much of my work is about the way we do this in #digitalspaces so I figured it is best to spend some time in these spaces in order to understand them. Hopefully we can do better than the bird site, but I am not incredibly hopeful! Come say hi if you are interested in #politicaltheory #philosophy or #socialmediastudies.

I study the relationship between #philosophyoflanguage and #politicaltheory. Specifically, i am interested in the way we make #meaning together through discourse and the implications of this for #democraticsystems. In #democratictheory, I focus primarily on the way #digitalspaces affect #meaning-making. In order to adequately understand digital space, I decided I should be a part of it. So, come say hi! #politicalphilosophy #mediastudies #criticalmediastudies
