Because we’re moving between different regions every 2-3 days fieldwork is really exhausting this time but we’re doing so many interviews and learning so much about regional lexical variation

A research by Najla Alghamdi (2022) suggests that "we are witnessing an emergence of a dialect that can be called a Saudi Koine. One of the characteristics of this koine is that it features a double-sided pole, a Najdi pole and a Hijazi pole.

Linguistic examples should not just be translated but also be glossed. What makes a good gloss? In the ELSEA project we created a 10min knowledge clip explaining interlinear glossing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VATS...

Absolutely.
People also differ in power and privilege so how languages mix also reflects this.
It’s important to understand sometimes the push for linguistic ‘purity’ reflects these unequal language dynamics: this is how I contextualise anti-English sentiments in the BSL and Auslan communities.

Linguistic purity is a mythical crutch for emotional fantasies. Languages mix because people mix. 🐦🐦

#Linguistics folks, do you know of any research on whether interlinear glossing helps learners acquire morphology? especially for language revitalization contexts?
this is a good question! There's a couple things I want to look at. How fast and in what way are undergrads able to acquire memorize the basics of the pronominal prefix system? In what way is interlinear glossing useful (if at all) to learners when trying to parse complex morphological systems?

Very much enjoyed presenting my poster at #TISLR15 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia today!
One important message in our poster is that factors like methodology, researcher's background, and language documentation may affect one's result.
