At #EnglishGrammarDay @billylinguist.bsky.social causes confusion and self doubt by asking what we would call a small Wug 🐦 - I don't think there is a consensus!

105: Linguistics of TikTok - Interview with Adam Aleksic aka EtymologyNerd TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are an evolving genre of media: short-form, vertical videos that take up your whole screen and are served to you from an algorithm rather than who you follo

Short-form videos served from an algorithm are an evolving genre, changing how people talk in them compared to earlier forms of video, and linguists are on it!

In this episode we talk with Adam Aleksic aka @etymology.substack.com.web.brid.gy about the linguistics of tiktok

"disruptive but rational" was one of their descriptions - could be usefully applied as a motto in all sorts of situations! #ICAME46

A more modern, but still elegant, room hosts a talk by @anteangaeile.bsky.social and Gerold Schneider on the language of the political right (what joy) at #ICAME46

My favourite line from #ICAME46 so far: "linguists can also be fanatic about something". It's a curse and a blessing! 😁

It's all happening at #ICAME46! A whole day dedicated to speech acts in a beautiful venue, doesn't get much better than that 😊
