Opettajana on kiva huomata, että suomen tunnilla voidaan kommunikoida pääasiassa suomeksi. Ulkomailla opettaessa erityisesti, tämä on mukava hetki. #opettaminen

Viimeiset päivät Suomessa. Paljon tuli tehtyä ja jäi tekemättä. Luin 3 viihdekirjaa ihan siitä ilosta, että suomenkielistä lukemista on helposti saatavilla.

Plenary speaker A. Lukács tells that the field language acquisition is dominated by a few languages. There is a huge research gap in regard of the Uralic family even though e.g. Hungarian and Finnish are well-studied. #cifu14 #langsky

Day 2 of #cifu14. The room is packed. Excited to hear about the trends that have emerged in research of grammar.

A round table has gathered to discuss how information on Uralic linguistics is conveyed to the general public and institutions financing research. Prof. Laakso comments that science communication is not a luxury, it is vital and necessary in our field. #cifu14
