the last time i submitted a paper like this i got a review that said "why are you using triangle brackets? we use triangle brackets for orthographic representations"

...reader, I was using the triangle bracket for an orthographic representation & explained as much in the introduction #reviewer2 #linguistics #languagedocumentation

Los puntos negros y grises representan las lenguas que han sido el objeto de proyectos de documentación en Brasil. Los blancos las que no. Como podemos ver, aun con los esfuerzos de 30 últimos años de documentación, hay muchas lenguas con poco casi nula documentación en Brasil. Queda mucho por hacer y poco tiempo para muchas de esas lenguas.

The Last Speaker: South Africa’s dying language
Compiling a dictionary of click-based words, Claudia works to save her grandmother’s dying San, or Bushman, language.

The world of #Algonquian languages lost a great speaker of #Potawatomi last week. It’s been days and I can’t properly articulate my emotions. He was so patient and kind and hilarious and intelligent. A reminder that when I say I work with #language, what I mean is that I work with people. #LanguageReclamation #LanguageRevitalization #LanguageDocumentation #linguistics

I guess it’s time for an #introduction!

I’m a PhD candidate at Tulane University, focusing on #LanguageRevitalization, #LanguageChange, #LanguageDocumentation, and #SecondLanguage teaching. I work with the Tunica Language Working Group on Tunica, an #IndigenousLanguage in Louisiana.

I’m also interested in #CorpusLinguistics, language and the law, #DoubleModals, and #Humor.

Outside of linguistics, I’m relearning the piano, keeping my two cats happy, and honing my trivial skills.

Because connections to stuff I've written about: Laura Downing at #HDLS15 mentions biases in documentation e.g. salience of linguistic forms to outsider fieldworkers can determine what gets documented and documenting contrastive forms is less controversial than non-contrastive ones.

Also her work on laryngeal stop inventories in #African #languages relied on documentation of non-contrastive forms.

Wow sorry if you read all that. 😿

Pour ceux qui ne me connaissent pas ici, j'ai fait une thèse sur une langue en voie de disparition au Mexique : l'ayapaneco. Vous pouvez la télécharger par ici si ça vous intéresse. 👇
