Crossword with three common gender pronoun clues: 13 across: him or her, a suggested common gender pronoun; 18 across, he or she, a suggested common gender pronoun. 40 across, that one; he, she, or it, suggested common gender pronoun, third person.

Pronouns in the news, 1930 ed: antedating and author identified. Richard Tingley, prolific crossword setter, put three common-gender pronoun clues in a puzzle that ran in late 1930; this one appeared in the Rockford (IL) Star, Dec. 28, p. 23. The puzzle ran the next day in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

After two months, I regained access to my account ✊🏻🥲

heated rivalry but it’s between a field linguist deep in the amazon and a theoretical syntactician at MIT

Of course I love crying while on the phone with the Universitätsrechenzentrum 😩

Düsseldorf has a (very big and nice) public library right next to the train station and I think it's the best idea in Civil Engineering ever 😍.

It was great to see people I haven't met in a while, meet new people and put a face to names I have read multiple times 😁

Sylvanian families bunny figure dresses in a red polkadot nightgown and lying in a single wooden bed bed on its tummy. One of the arms is hanging down the bed and the figure seems to be staring at the camera. The room has white, soft carpet floor and dusty pink wallpaper.

I have sadly not taken any fotos, but this is basically me after two wonderful days of the second edition of Linguistic Intersections of Language and Gender (organised by @div-ling.org and @hhu.de). I am extremely grateful to the organisers and the students assistants, who have done an amazing job 💜

I'm offering a 3-year PhD position with benefits at the University of Stuttgart (1-year extension possible). Research topic is open but broadly in incremental sentence comprehension. If you're into eye-tracking, even better! No teaching obligations until Summer 2027, some light teaching after […]

My legacy: being the one that all students and former classmates text even years after leaving a university to ask about admin stuff.

Really excited to facilitate this workshop next week! 🤗

Qué lengua noble el alemán que nos da palabras tan buenas y necesarias como "Spaßgetränk" 🙏

I like languages and I like the way humans use them, I’m glad we have languages

Bild mit zwei regenbogenfarbenen Kreisdiagrammen. Über dem oberen Diagramm steht "was viele Leute sich leider weiterhin unter Pride vorstellen". Das Diagramm ist in Hälften geteilt, welche mit "Regenbogen" und "Paraden" beschriftet sind. Darunter die Überschrift des zweiten Diagramms: "was Pride tatsächlich ist". Dieses Diagramm hat 16 Teile, beschriftet mit: es ist okay, nicht geoutet zu sein, wenn das sicherer ist; Alltagstrott als wahres Ich; ein soziales Netz haben; sich frei fühlen; sich selbst lieben können; Diskriminierung durchstehen; Regenbogen; akzeptiert und respektiert sein; Gendereuphorie; junge queere Menschen beschützen; Kampf um gleiche Rechte; die ehren, die vor einem schon gekämpft haben (insb. PoC); sich in sich zu Hause fühlen; intersektionelle Bestätigung; queerer Sex; Feiern. Unter dem Diagramm steht "...und noch so viel mehr". Ganz unten ist angegeben, dass das Original von blessthemessy stammt; die übersetzte und angepasste Version von dmncschmtz.bsky.social.

Weils offensichtlich immer noch so viele nicht verstehen: das ist queer Pride.

Sí, un proceso continuo.

Veo dos opciones, o es una predicción a futuro (aún no empezó) o una suposición sobre el presente (puede ser que haya aumentado, pero no lo sé con seguridad).

CfP for the workshop “Queer Linguistics at the interface between grammatical and social structure”, which will take place as a part of the 49. Österreichische Linguistiktagung (Austrian Linguistics Conference, ÖLT) in Klagenfurt, Austria, from December 5 to 8, 2025.

One chapter deserves special mention: it's based on the fantastic course work of my students in a class on gender linguistic methods @hhu.de.

In "Form identity & gendered associations", we explore how similar forms influence gender associations across L1/L2.

Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors!
