New issue of Journal of Greek Linguistics Vol.25, No. 2 (2025) brill.com/view/journal... #openaccess @dgb-linguistics.bsky.social

🎧 This month on Sustainability Matters, we discuss whether external #research #promotion has any tangible effects. Can media attention translate into academic #citations? Does choosing the "right" journal matter? And do we risk distorted outcomes from over-incentivizing citations?

Warum brauchen wir heute noch ein Studienbuch – im Zeitalter von Online-Ressourcen und KI?

Und: Wie holen wir das Beste aus dem Format heraus?

In der letzten Folge unserer Mini-Serie zum neuen Studienbuch #Linguistik beantworten die Autor*innen diese zentralen Fragen:

Neue Themen, mehr Seiten – das neue Studienbuch Linguistik ist noch wertvoller geworden.

Ein Highlight: das Kapitel „Empirische Methoden“ – bis Ende des Jahres frei zugänglich: vist.ly/4dawv

Die Autor*innen erzählen, wie das Buch Studierende durchs gesamte Studium begleitet:

Visual showing piles of books. Text below: New Blog Post! De Gruyter Conversations. How to Digitize 68,000 Books without Losing Your Sense of Humor

Transforming precious old books into a modern digital #archive requires patience, precision – and the occasional kitchen utensil. Join our resident archivists Katinka Bratvold and Florian Hofbauer as they share the joys and surprises of preserving #scholarship for future generations.

Vielfältig, aktuell, lebendig – das neue Studienbuch Linguistik ist da!

Mehr als 30 Jahre nach der ersten Auflage blickt es auf eine Disziplin im Wandel.

Wie hat sich die #Linguistik seitdem verändert – und wie spiegelt sich dieser Wandel im neuen Studienbuch wider?

Die Autor*innen antworten:

How do Filipina domestic workers in Spain navigate their multilingual lives and agency in migration? Drawing on three years of fieldwork, this book offers a postcolonial lens on language, inequality & transnational care work. Read now in #OpenAccess!
