Excited to see Gender Linguistics officially launched during LILG 2025 here at @hhu.de – and to share this moment with so many colleagues passionate about language and gender.

Looking forward to your submissions!

In Turin to work on the unpublished morphological data collected for the Atlante linguistico italiano. The city is great, and the data wonderful! #RomanceLinguistics #ALI #Torino

This year's #cilfr has been a wonderful week: lots of colleagues, plenty of linguistics, real scientific discussion. A beautiful celebration for 100 years of #slr Plus Lecce is an absolutely beautiful city!

Street sign saying in French "rue du fossé des tanneurs" and in Alsatian "Gerwergrawe"

In Strasbourg for a meeting of the DIVITAL project (divital.gitpages.huma-num.fr/fr/). So nice to share work done on multiple languages of France in a city where multilingualism is present! Street signs again, but also a lot of overheard conversations in the streets.

A major danger of LLMs is that humans are SO predisposed to attribute knowledge to any entity that uses natural language fluently. We cannot imagine that a machine that outputs natural-seeming speech/text doesn't have cognition. Brilliantly articulated by @emilymbender.bsky.social et al. (2021).

A trilingual sign showing Gare, ti-gar and Train station in French Breton and English

In Rennes, a lot of signs show multilingualism, including some street names, or these signs at the station with French, Breton and English #bzhg #multilingualism
Very little Breton and no Gallo heard in the streets though

In Rennes to work on archival documents about Gallo. Plenty of verb morphology and pronouns to be talked about soon!

Starmer says migrants should speak English – but all of the UK’s languages are important for integration As the UK government doubles down on English as the sole route to integration, it shouldn’t mean leaving other languages behind.
