Linguistics and slang at Eurovision!
Malta had entered the song "Kant", which means "singing" in Maltese.
The main hook of the song went "do, re, me, fa, so, suh, serving kant".
There was an official complaint (probably the BBC), and now the song has been changed.
Go to 1:00 to hear it.

Reminder: tomorrow is your last chance to submit an abstract for our panel on language and religion!
Do you work on religion and language? Join our panel at #EuARe2025 in Vienna this summer!

When I have more time on my hands I would love to write about language choice and the reception of those choices (e.g. dialects/minority languages) in Eurovision. I mean the song by Estonia this year is in Italian, English and Spanish? (It's amazing)

So my PhD supervisors told me that references do not belong in conference abstract, but I see references in those abstracts all the time. What does academic Bluesky think?

It’s been accepted! Looking forward to presenting my paper on language ideologies and religious beliefs in a multilingual church in the Netherlands!
Wrote an abstract for the 10th Explorations in Ethnography Language and communication at the University of Copenhagen, hoping to present but will attend the conference in any case!

Vanavond bij het evenement ‘Welke taal spreekt Den Haag’ geweest. 18 sprekers van verschillende talen lazen een gedicht of tekst voor in hun moedertaal, en in het Nederlands als tweede taal. Veel van de teksten gingen over de zoektocht naar identiteit en verdriet en vreugde over het vaderland.
