It has been a great DGfS conference last week in Mainz! I hope I could show that Syriac can contribute to our understanding of cyclic phonology.

Did I once again forget I have a bluesky account? Of course. And did I miss the opportunity to say that I'd be at the #DGfS2025 too? You bet. 🫠
Well, thank you if you were at my talk, and if you weren't but want to know more about strange things quotes do, drop me a line 😎
@clartoshka.bsky.social, Kateryna Iefremenko, and I just wrapped up hosting our workshop at #DGfS2025!
Huge thanks to all participants for making our AG 13 'Heritage speakers learning languages' a success! 😊
And stay tuned—we’re working on a special issue featuring contributions from the workshop!
So viel guter Input nach drei Tagen #dgfs2025 - und nächste Woche geht's schon weiter mit dem auf der Jahrestagung des @idsmannheim.bsky.social. Tagungen sind einfach die beste Art und Weise, neue Motivation fürs Studium zu erhalten, weil man sieht, wo es hingehen kann.
Man wünscht sich schon, DGfS-Jahrestagung und DHd würden nicht immer in derselben Woche stattfinden 🥺 #DHd2025 #DHd2026 #DHd2027 #DGfS2025 #DGfS2026

Now she's talking about "pegging" 😭 I'm an actual child #dgfs2025
Penny Eckert talking about "cruising" in high schools - luckily, not that kind 😬😬😬😬😬👀 #dgfs2025
Even the #dgfs2025 has not escaped this curse...
In VariPrag (variprag.net), we study how region as a social factor affects pragmatic variation. Maybe we should consider merch as I found at #DGfS2025?
Stumps, day 1 #dgfs2025
We have house...
Aditi Lahiri (University of Oxford) giving a talk on 'Variation, change, and pertinacity in phonology'. Professor Lahiri edits Mouton's 'Phonology and Phonetics' book series.

Lunch day 1 #dgfs2025
My second-favourite part of conferences (after the wine reception) is looking at people's laptop screens and judging them for how chaotic their desktops are #dgfs2025
An AI cat meme accompanied by brat-green text? In my #dgfs2025?
A welcome surprise that linguistic conferences are only 9 months behind the latest internet cultural trends
#DGfS2025 linguistics conference bingo time!
I think we can already cross a few of these off but I couldn't possibly say which
A slide containing long lost typefaces
First talk at the #dgfs2025 and this will stay my favourite, purely based on the use of 5 different fonts on a single slide...
School homework vibes circa 2000 😍

Ich gehe jetzt netzwerken. :) #dgfs2025
Sieht man sich auf der #DGfS2025 ? 🙂
Need reasons for staying to the very end at #DGfS2025? Tanja Ackermann and I will present our latest research on inter-speaker variation in the use of expressivity in German complaints on Friday at 13:45 in AG05 (Ex:VaC)
