There's a handful of styles. Mine was discourse analysis: how we talk when we talk about math. There's also STS: community of math doers, what can the person-plus-math network accomplish.

Do you know about "Fiona"?

This was the first post I saw on this topic and it was all downhill from there

I mean there is legit linguistic research on numbers like a kajillion and fifty-leven

I'm teaching again this semester after many years away and it actually feels incredibly vital

Lol at the thought of Cypher as a replacement level conlanger

This is a whole other obsession of mine btw, someday-maybe I will start working on x, where cultural anthropology : linguistic anthropology :: Le Guin _Always Going Home_ : x. Any conlang has syntax, I want one with folklore
