Every election for the last 15 years I have been able to eliminate 2/3 parties I usually consider simply because THERE IS NO PLATFORM AVAILABLE, before I even ask whether I agree with it. How can this utterly minimum requirement be so hard??

"Coming from industrial chemistry, it occurred to me that linguistics might develop in a more scientific direction by using data on what speakers actually did say. I thought this might be accomplished with the help of a new [1961] but still rarely used device, the tape recorder." – William Labov
Afterword: Where are we now?
Labov recapitulates his view of linguistics when he entered the field in 1961, and what he hoped to achieve. He acknowledges Meyerhoff's stress on the convergence of methods and Coupland's view of th...

Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why?

Any suggestions on how to respond at work to 'how's the pregnancy going' that are more interesting than 'all good no worries' but are less ridiculous than my automatic reaction to say things like 'well, I have my food shelf back' or 'look I can annoy the baby by bending over'

I have had a 'new significant tasks yes/no committee' for about a year, and they are Not an academic. It is hilarious trying to explain why I keep asking about whether to take on more free labour for academic brownie points.

Remember Thug Notes? (literature explained in thug-meme-style videos) I want Thug Notes for everything legal and academic. I want a youtube channel reproducing the American Chopper Chomsky v. Everett meme for Everything Jargon. I live for footnote drama.
Check out footnote 2, in which Fulton County trial judge Robert C. I. McBurney tells the Georgia Supreme Court that he is not a fan of their faux modesty and dubious constitutional interpretation.

Sometimes, connections come in unexpected places.
This is me and Stephan Chambers, Director of the LSE Marshall
Institute. We met because of our roles at LSE, so I didn't expect him to start our meeting by saying, “you’re a conversation analyst!”
And then the story got poignant.
