Joyeux anniversaire, cher Antoine 🎂

To celebrate, remember that "each language forms a system where everything hangs together".

С днем рождения, dear Roman 🥳

"If we wanted to characterise briefly the kind of thinking currently governing science in its most varied manifestations, we could not find a more fitting expression than structuralism."

Alles Gute, lieber Franz 🥳

Why not celebrate today’s anniversary by (re-)listening to episode 28 of our podcast, focusing on early 20th-century American linguistics, Franz Boas, and his circle of students!

H. Steinthal’s grave can be found in the Weißensee Jewish cemetery. One more reason to visit Berlin...

Všechno nejlepší, dear Bedřich/Friedrich!

To mark the occasion, consider eating a portion of bread, followed later by a glass of water 🥳

A great plan for a sunny stroll through Berlin: explore the street named after Friedrich (and August Wilhelm) Schlegel while listening to the very first episode of our podcast about Schlegel’s role in the emergence of comparative-historical grammar 🌞

#OTD Alexander Melville Bell (1819-1905) would have turned 206 🎉 He was a researcher in the field of phonetics, a specialist in World English, an expert on orthoepy, and the creator of Visible Speech. He was also involved in the education of the deaf.

A street in the far southeast of Berlin, located in Rahnsdorf, in an area known as New Venice (Neu-Venedig), is named after Wolfgang Steinitz 🤩 If that isn’t a great reason to visit, I don’t know what is...

If you find yourself in Berlin, today is an excellent day to take a stroll along Grimmstraße in Kreuzberg and/or visit the grave of Wilhelm Grimm in Schöneberg.
