Something to get me going in between chapters of A Tale of Two Cities: A Little Book of Language by David Crystal. The illustrations are great 💙📚 #linguistics

Read your favorite book for the millionth time. Read something new you know nothing about. Stop reading a book you don’t vibe with after 20 pages. Read every book only once never to revisit it.
However you choose to read is the right way. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

bulgarian has 4 different forms of evidentiality grammatically baked into verbs
it is the only indo-european language with more than 2
also, along with handful of indigenous and amazonian languages on the verge of extinction, the only one with more than 3

I'm looking for opinions re: reading journals. In theory I love them, but it feels like a reading-adjacent thing that distracts from the actual reading. I think I feel too old for something that belongs to my daughters' generation, maybe. Has anyone ever started one after a lifetime of reading? 💙📚

"Frankenstein is the name of the doctor"
no it isn't! Victor Frankenstein is a college dropout who left the University of Ingolstadt without a doctorate.
