Short-form videos served from an algorithm are an evolving genre, changing how people talk in them compared to earlier forms of video, and linguists are on it! In this episode we talk with Adam Aleksic aka @etymology.substack.com.web.brid.gy about the linguistics of tiktok

TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are an evolving genre of media: short-form, vertical videos that take up your whole screen and are served to you from an algorithm rather than who you follo

Chairing this morning so no #ICAME46 updates from me. Lots of great papers though!

I feel like there is a very small number of people doing a lot of #ICAME46 updating on here 😅

My favourite line from #ICAME46 so far: "linguists can also be fanatic about something". It's a curse and a blessing! 😁

It's all happening at #ICAME46! A whole day dedicated to speech acts in a beautiful venue, doesn't get much better than that 😊

Bill Labov made it possible for John Rickford and therefore Renee Blake and therefore me, to have a rich life in linguistics. He knew that Black students and speakers had so much to contribute. We will forever owe him a debt of gratitude for his contributions to the field, but also to all of us ❤️

Have you heard about Open Research Online (ORO)? It's the #OpenAccess repository of The Open University's peer reviewed and published #research. The service is publicly accessible and can be browsed and searched freely. Take a look: oro.open.ac.uk
