My colleague at @hhu.bsky.social and go-to-phonologist Christian Uffmann just released a special music video to introduce himself.

He truly puts the fun back in phonology, the antics in semantics, and makes you scream for more more more morphology 🎶🎵

Grammar is not the “rules” you were taught in school. It’s what your brain does to make sense of the linguistic input it’s exposed to.

The “rules” you were taught are a hidden curriculum designed to maintain a social hierarchy. Before you learned them, you were already an expert at your language.

Die Zeiten sind beängstigend.
Gerade jetzt ist es aber unglaublich wichtig, dass der AfD nicht das Feld überlassen wird. Wir können und dürfen Rechtsextremismus nicht einfach so hinnehmen, dafür ist es zu gefährlich.

🚨 Publication alert:

My students @defneci.bsky.social @bravemoneylute.bsky.social, Daniel Rottleb & I show that "Cuteness modulates size sound symbolism at its extremes".
