this reminds me of how in Spanish the nonbinary/gender neutral pronouns are accidentally gendered as well: ele vs elle depends on the gender of the person. which i find hilarious how much it defeats the purpose of the neutral pronouns

i will say. due to 3 nonbinary talks in a row. i think we gotta theorize nonbinary better in sociolinguistics. nonbinary is not "a" "gender" #nwav53

In her #NWAV53 plenary, King discusses an example of a juror being dismissed from the pool due to forestressing in the word police (so PO-lice), because the prosecutor claimed that the pronunciation showed animus towards law enforcement. And this is exactly why I study prosody!

“Mapping lexical perception in Miami and the effects of rootedness” Callesano & Rodríguez Romero

bom día buenos días and good morning michigan 💃🏽 #nwav53

my favorite aspect of working with social media research so far is that i get to chuckle in between coding Instagram memes for elitism because the memes are still hilarious

hi! where can we see the CFP when it goes out? 😌

thank you so much!!!

It is officially safe to block your calendars, sociolinguistics peeps: NWAV 53: Sociolinguistics, Conflict, Justice, and Peace will be held at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Nov 6-8, 2025.

CFP to follow in February.

I am really excited to have my first post here on Bluesky be to officially announce I will be attending the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign this fall. I am so so excited to study under the same academics that inspired my passion for sociolinguistics 🩵

I'm going to post this video every day — especially #MLKDay — so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Happy “Fuck Trump And All He Stands For Day” to all who celebrate!
