Currently working through Kristopher Kyle's Python for Corpus Linguistics tutorial. So far I haven't made too many mistakes... let's see how long that lasts.

This is a thing that fascist regimes always do, and it’s specially designed to terrorize brown people here. I spoke about it on TikTok www.tiktok.com/t/ZP821vydf/

Oppressive regimes always try to ban languages of minority populations! This was a major colonial tool, and Trump certainly isn’t going to be more successful with it than Franco was. This is about sca...

Finally getting around to looking at some qualitative responses and may I just say the act of looking at this large of a spreadsheet is making me dizzy...

The IRB has finally approved interviews for the slang study! Given the lack of Black voices in the original sample and the origins of a lot of LGBT slang, I'm looking for people in those communities to provide insight in addition to those who took the survey: bit.ly/lgbtslangint...
LANGUAGE STUDY - PARTICIPANTS NEEDED:
BLACK LGBT+ ENGLISH SPEAKERS

We’re looking for Black LGBT+ individuals to participate in a study on 
LGBT+ slang usage. Much of LGBT+ slang originates in and is taken 
from ballroom, vogue, and other queer, Black communities, and we 
would not do justice to their origins and usages without the input of 
members of these communities.

What: A 30-60 minute interview asking about your membership in / 
relationship with the LGBT+ community and subcultures within that 
community, as well as asking about the usage/origins of selected LGBT+ 
slang terms. 

Eligibility: US residents over the age of 18 who identify as LGBT+ and as 
Black / African American. 

To sign up, please use the form below:

For questions about the study, please contact Vincent N. Mariani,

Are you teaching undergraduate students in a language-related course this semester? Or, do you know some undergraduate students interested in language? If so, I'd appreciate you sharing some info about a study I'm doing on podcasting and critical language awareness! bit.ly/psuplp
Graphic with information about a research study for undergraduates. Participants are eligible if they are 18 years or older, an undergraduate student, and they are studying in the US. They will be asked to listen to a 25-minute podcast and take two short surveys. It will take one hour or less.

Currently trying to dig deeper into the historical origins of LGBT+ slang and kind of surprised at how little there is beyond "originated in black drag/ballroom culture". And there doesn't seem to be any primary sources for them - has this research just not been done?

I'll be so real this was me procrastinating but if anyone wants a pride-flag inspired color palette for plots here it is:
R Code for assigning Hex codes to variables based on the number of colors in each palette; 

    colors.one <- c("#B2A4D4") # Lavender
    colors.two <- c("#5BCFFB", "#F5ABB9") # Trans Flag
    colors.three <- c("#1D53BA", "#854E97", "#BC2389") # Bisexual Flag
    colors.four <- c("#9B59D0", "#FFF433", "#A3A3A3", "#5DC562") # Mix of nonbinary, asexual, aromantic flags
    colors.five <- c("#E64D50", "#F9D910", "#6FBF6F", "#4B81B9", "#B35DB0") # Rainbow flag

Pleased to report that I still have a 100% success rate when someone says they're using AI for a task by responding with genuine enthusiasm "Oh! That's so neat! How are you verifying it?"

IRB Amendment filed for this. Also to allow interviewees to be credited, if they choose. Now we wait.....

Linguist twit—Bluesky, I’m running a study on LGBT+ English slang knowledge in both LGBT+ and non-LGBT+ US English speakers! It’d be much appreciated if y’all could take it and share 🤠 bit.ly/lgbtslangstudy

Someone uploaded my IPA Typing guide to course hero. It’s free on my website and I’ll be damned if someone takes money from students to view it - does anyone know if they’re usually good with copyright claims?
