My latest piece for @noemamag.com is about the connection between languages and nature. Where plant and animal species are disappearing, languages, dialects and unique expressions often follow a similar pattern of decline.
We’ve created languages that specialize in talking about subjects as varied as the stars to snow to seaweed. But just like so much of our natural world, climate change is putting them at risk, @jwebsterayuso.bsky.social writes.

Thrilled that my piece for @thedialmag.bsky.social "Can a Comma Solve a Crime?", on how linguists help crack cold cases, has been featured in the @longreads.com editors' picks!
"In contrast to literary mysteries, where academics often have plenty of material to work with, criminal cases typically involve only snippets of text — a confession, a threatening letter, a suicide note."
