Here’s Part 2 of our mega-episode about the oddities of English spelling. We go back to the Phoenician several times, and blame French a lot – and maybe, just maybe, help demystify some of the more annoyingly spelled English words. http://www.alliterative.net/podcast/2023/04/04/episode-114a-the-xyzs-of-spelling #humanitiespodcasts #podcast #language #linguistics #lingcomm

After four great days, #LingComm23 is over. It included my poster about #LinguisticBirthdays and #WomenInLinguistics, a panel discussion about #LingComm beyond the Anglosphere as well as many inspiring chats about linguistics communication.
I can’t wait for #LingComm25! 🤩
