The LingComm grants are running again in 2024! We have (at least) two $500USD grants for communicating linguistics to wider audiences. Please share with colleagues, friends and students if they have a pop linguistics project that needs some support! lingcomm.org/grants/

Science writing is a blast. Except for the writing part. Here are a couple of my favorite tricks for never writing a first draft. (Another trick is to become an editor, but that is a story for another day.) theopennotebook.com/2023/04/…

The Secret to Never Writing a First Draft - The Open Notebook

Science writing is a blast. Well, you know, except for the writing part. Each blank document waiting to be transformed into a barn burner of a story seems to scream, “You fraud! You’ll never pull...

Just realized I was so excited to give the opening keynote for #LingComm23 next week that I'd neglected to actually, you know, register for the actual conference If you're also someone who does lingcomm and hasn't registered yet, you can fix that here: lingcomm.org/conference/regi…

This is a great thread about the factification of public communications (I think it's also why etymologies so consistently show up in relation to #lingcomm - they're fun but they're also extremely factable)
Fraser Raeburn@FraserRaeburn3 Nov 2022
Last week, thanks to some tolerant colleagues and a little too much "it's the final week of sunlight ahhhhh" manic energy, I got to run a pretty unique digital public history experiment. It worked, slightly too well. 🧵...

I've decided to call it "The Manga Introduction to Linguistics" instead 😄 @LingComm I'm going to *try* to make at least one page a week. My goal is to have the entire prologue done before January. I will be posting the manga on my website too! lingcomics.com/ling-manga-pr…
Top center text: "The Manga Introduction to Linguistics", "Prologue: Language an Identity". Bottom right text: "Ai Taniguchi". The center of the image features a grayscale manga-style illustration of Akari, the protagonist of The Manga Introduction to Linguistics. She has light skin, and is pear-shaped. She is wearing a tube top, a cardigan, a circle necklace, and leggings. Her hair is in "onion style" pigtails: three round blobs of hair stacked on top of eachother. She has long bangs with a middle part. Her hands are behind her, and she has a slightly surprised facial expression with raised eyebrows and her mouth open, with her gaze to her left.

Manga style comic (black and white) with 4 panels. Panel 1: Background with a university; screaming speech bubble: "OH NOOOO!!!". Panel 2: Close up of Akari with tears in her eyes. Her brows are furrowed and her mouth is agape with a tense smile. She has both of her hands grabbing her head around the temples. Screaming speech bubble: "I failed the CCT210 assignment!!!" Text underneath speech bubble: "How?!" Box caption: "Akari (19)". Panel 3: Akari typing on her laptop. Speech bubble: "Maybe it's a glitch on the course website??" Text under speech bubble: "REFRESH REFRESH REFRESH." Panel 4: Close-up of Akari's laptop screen. It reads: "CCT210, Grades. Submission Details. Semiotic Essay. Grade: 45%." Text above laptop: "RIP (praying hands emoji)". Comical, simplified image of a "broken" Akari half smiling, with white round eyes.
