Linguistic typology is the study of the grammatical diversity in the world’s languages, the recurring patterns we see amongst that diversity, and why those patterns exist.

Kids are spite-learning Chinese after the TikTok ban by using apps with Chinese UIs. This explains why Duolingo has seen a surge in Chinese learners. Good for them! Learning a new language boosts cognitive skills like memory and problem-solving. Go kids!

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

Check out this list if you haven't already!

This is a treasure trove for anybody even remotely interested in language and/or linguistics!

The included pack of BlueSky accounts to follow is something that I especially appreciate. I feel like I'm finding people and research(ers) that inspire(s) me!

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

If you think this book simply collects some cute sayings from babies and oracular utterances from the dying and swoons over it all, you are wrong.

It's a lot more than that.
