New paper out 🥳
Joint work with @danielaltshuler.bsky.social on monosyndetic and bisyndetic conjunction in Gizey. I keep coming back to this reviewer’s comment: “Absolutely publishable as is… no suggestions for improvement (first time in 20+ years!)” 🤣🤣. It's here: journals.flvc.org/sal/article/...

Congratulations to Daniel Altshuler, Tutorial Fellow in Linguistics, who recently won the Linguistics Society of America (LSA) Mentoring Award. The award recognises the work of individuals or organisations that have exhibited a sustained commitment to mentoring linguists. 👏

Thanks to @lingsocam.bsky.social for the Mentoring Award. Teaching and learning from my mentees is the best part of my job. I owe it to them for this recognition. (Wish I could have made it to the LSA this year, but at home teaching and mentoring my newborn). Photo credit @colinphillips.bsky.social

For London-area academics: our 3rd colloq in linguistics and philosophy.

According to the OED, French hérisson really does derive from Latin ericius, and English urchin is indeed ultimately a borrowing of hérisson.

Cool question!!

I asked my colleague Philomen Probert and she said that German Igel and its cognates in other Germanic languages go back to a (western) Proto-Indo-European pre-form such as *eghīnos.
