Ja toch? Ik ben heel benieuwd om te zien hoe dit glottisslaggebruik verder ontwikkelt
Of een simpelere reden: dat sprekers het verschil tussen 'studentin' en 'student*in' gewoon duidelijk willen maken. Dan hoeft het niet om het taalgebruik van mensen te beoordelen
Interessant artikel! In het Duits lijkt het dat veel sprekers het sterretje al uitspreken, dat het zich tot een teken voor de glottalization ontwikkelt: www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/icphs-procee...
It looks like Sinhala / Pali to me too

Absolutely! I have much warmer feelings about TriPod than study 3027013.01 (TriPod's government name)
Some data from the language Tutrugbu sparked a series of projects with several colleagues that we referred to as Tutrugbu Project, 2 Trug 2 Bu, and Tutrugbu: Tokyo Drift, so it seems like we're drawing from a nearby well of inspiration

It's still a frustrating source text though 🙃
I would say both [Mandarin] and Swedish tone are prosodic in that they're both suprasegmental phonological phenomena. Plus Swedish tone is phonemic! (as in [Mandarin]) One main difference is in how many syllables per word bear a tone (Swedish, Japanese, etc. < Mandarin, Vietnamese, etc.)

Day 1 of #snl2025 was a blast! I’m so thankful that many smart and fun scientists came all this way to share in our passion for brains and languages.
Come be my colleague!

Out now in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews!
When studying language in the brain, we often look for things that can be model systems for language (songbirds, artificial grammars, etc.). Here, we flip this on its head and argue that language itself is an excellent model system for cognition 🗣️🧏♀️🧠

on the left, the cover of the journal gender linguistics, its logo consists of a conjoined uppercase G and L. on the right, the following text: a community-owned journal for gender linguistic research, peer-reviewed, open access, no publication costs, multilingual publishing; below the text, there is the link to the journal website and a qr code.
One highlight of LILG 2025: the official launch of the new open-access journal Gender Linguistics!
Published by our association, the journal will be a space for research at all linguistic intersections of language and gender.
