New paper: "Compound" and "incorporation" are technical terms, and many linguists seem to think that one needs theories of them before one can have proper definitions, but I don't think so – so I have gone ahead and proposed (retro-)definitions of these terms. journals.linguistik.de/zwjw/article...

*Idioms and Idiomaticity*, by Chitra Fernando. A lonely and forgotten, but superb monograph from mid-90s. Rediscovered it on my shelf. The ryebread, egg and coffee = nostalgia, atmosphere

I have cravings after #scrivener my favorite writing program. But it crashed dramatically earlier this month, I almost lost my entire book manus. Yet, working in Word and Google docs is not the same. I wish, I dared to go back

"By Humboldt's liberal reasoning, the state had no claims to intervene in internal affairs such as education, but existed solely to prevent harm to individuals or communities, with its responsibility for maintaining their welfare and security."

On a Danish 🚂 🚃🚃🚃. Again. Writing about “landscape constructions” in Nordic languages. But I have come to somehow dislike this English word “landscape” and all other kinds of -scapes - and the spectator bias it represents 🖼️. #linguistics #CxG

Hello followers! Great to connect. I’m a linguist working on meaning, both in the “small” sense: the meanings of particular words and constructions, and the “big” sense: meanings we live by, linguaculture(s) and linguistic worldviews. forskning.ruc.dk/en/persons/c... also aias.au.dk/aias-fellows...
