Katzenhype im Internet: Forscherin entdeckt neues Sprachphänomen

Cat-Content, das sind all die Katzenfotos, die Memes und andere katzenbezogenen Inhalte, die im Internet kursieren. Mit Katzen lassen sich anscheinend auch menschliche Gefühlslagen gut ausdrücken. Und der Cat Content hat manche Menschen dazu inspiriert, auch ihre Sprache an Katzen zu orientieren.

When this chap stopped me on the Canterbury high street on a Friday night to ask “is it [tʃ]une or [t]une”, I don’t think he was expecting “whichever way you like” would be my sincere answer

This looks to be a pretty interesting , but not interesting enough for the general public I guess since the reporter felt the need to abruptly add to the discussion. lol Apparently isn't science if it's not about .

We might not have always dreamt of a life without labor, but merely bgeun with reveries of being allowed to own our fruits.

"Putting my foot in" a meal that I cooked myself shows I'm feeling myself: my creativity, ingenuity, style, + skill, often in the face of changing resources.
Pride + joy suffuses me for myself+ my people.

reading "how to" introductory language books as a linguist is so very painful

Southern US English speaking people, especially Black folks /older generations, do this more than younger folks. *There is a mix of friendliness within an acknowledged social hierarchy.* Cuz or cousin, auntie, uncle, bruh or brotha, sis or sistah, honey, sugar, baby girl, sweetheart even for people unrelated by blood.
For Christians, sister or brother.

Bonfiglio's Mother Tongues and Nations is such a great read!

I just finished chapter 6, where the author describes how the "discovery" of Sanskrit fueled the development of European ethnolinguistic nationalism in the 19th century.

But why is this book as expensive as caviar? I'd love to see a mass paperback reprint of it: doi.org/10.1515/9781934078266

I don't know anything about as it's spoken in , so I was a bit surprised to find "peoples" and "people's" in the speech of this man. (Me and my wife just got a , BTW, so if anyone has good tips, lemme know!)

Now here's some food for thought about : What is your cat's attitude to you talking to your cat in ?

That's a very interesting question. Erm, I talk to my cats in , which is my L1. English would feel weird somehow. So my pet-directed speech register is German

Edited an article with the text "a HR meeting" and left the "a" intact. In Irish English the name of the letter H is aspirated: "haitch" rather than "aitch".

This is deeply controversial in some quarters, as I reported here: stancarey.wordpress.com/2013/1

I'm a candidate in researching Taiwanese (臺灣本土語言) language vitality and revitalisation. Currently focusing on -gí ( ).

I speak a few (listed in my profile), and trying to relearn my personal (s) which I lost as I grew up.

Fairly new to this type of social-networking and would love to connect with others who are involved with similar interests.
