Il fallait prendre le temps de revenir sur cet AHURISSANT dictionnaire de l'Académie française.

Y'a rien qui va, et donc, y'a beaucoup à dire.

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects

So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social?

And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Liberté, Égalité, Accord du participe passé !
Peu de francophones savent comment accorder le participé passé quand celui-ci est accompagné de l’auxiliaire avoir. Encore moins de francophones savent pourquoi il faudrait l’accorder. Question sacrilège ? Un petit fil 🧶

« La prise en compte du sexe et du genre renouvelle les savoirs scientifiques »
La moindre place accordée aux femmes dans les carrières scientifiques et les objets de recherche a des conséquences au-delà de la science.

Je suis tombée sur cette lettre de Fénelon à l’Académie (1713) ; il ne sera jamais élu (pensez donc : il était pour l’éducation des filles).
Il critique le purisme et défend les emprunts, en des termes très actuels, et il prend exemple sur … l’anglais (qui nous a tant emprunté).

Preposition omission in French interrogative sluices: empirical findings and theoretical implications
Many non-P(reposition) stranding languages have been shown to allow P-omission under sluicing (Sag & Nykiel 2011; Nykiel 2013a; Molimpakis 2019), thus challenging Merchant’s (2001) generalization,...
