Our special issue on reflexivity and differentiation came out in Multilingua a few days ago, so it was obligatory for us to meet up and take a picture with our issue (with a stunning view of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps!).

My golly, Joseph Park's new paper about time, space, affect, and metapragmatics in IJSL is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT (the issue is amazing!). Probably one of the best papers out there about the relationship between semiotics and lived experiences.

Figures of personhood: time, space, and affect as heuristics for metapragmatic analysis

Figure of personhood , or set of indexicals that are linked with a performable person type, occupies a key role in contemporary metapragmatic analysis. But how can the concept be operationalized so...

What they don't warn you about when you do grad school in another country: you'll serendipitously meet friends who'll become family, but you'll part ways and you'll just have to accept that you all won't be in the same time and place ever again,and things will never be the same.

Sometimes I wonder if we need to break away from the default definition of "linguistics" as formal/theoretical linguistics. That we have to add modifiers like "applied" or "socio" or "psycho", as if it was our fault that "linguistics" historically neglected these things. 1/6

I TA-ed IntroLing numerous times in grad school, and this term, I'm finally teaching it as lecturer. It's so fun to teach! So fun to guide students in the amazing field of linguistics. (Even though I have to pretend that I know and enjoy syntax hahaha)

In primary school, we had to have an "Assignment Notebook" (AN): a to-do list/planner. We were only allowed to play when parents saw that we've completed everything in the AN. The good old days when our to-do list was a finite thing, not this unending list of torture methods
