I was interviewed in @WillametteWeek about the @pop_vs_soda map I made a million years ago: https://www.wweek.com/drink/2024/04/18/do-you-say-pop-or-soda/
I guess it's about time to create a Mastodon account for that project...
The epic linguistic map came up in conversation at work today, so today is one of those days to regularly to pause and spend some time admiring this map of North American English dialects by Rick Aschmann:
I've recently noticed a pronunciation in American English of auxiliaries/modals ending in [d] with a cliticized negative particle, where the [d] is dropped and the negative particle is pronounced with a schwa-like sound – so, for example, _couldn't_ is pronounced /'kʊnət/, _didn't_ is pronounced /'dɪnət/, and so on. I'm wondering whether this is a new thing or whether I've just never noticed it (it seems to be rare). Anybody familiar with AmE #dialectology know more about this? @linguistics

TIL that some speakers inflect the “on X's behalf” construction for plural, labiodental voicing and all, and it's truly blown my mind

In case you were wondering, about me and cats: well, I have combined my love of cats and linguistics in my upcoming publication: "Purrieties of Language: How We Talk about Cats Online", which is due out at the end of February. It's available for preorder here: https://www.cambridge.org/at/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/sociolinguistics/purrieties-language-how-we-talk-about-cats-online?format=PB
I love it when people tell me they DO NOT have an accent... #linguistics #dialectology #variation #linguisticvariation #sociolinguistics #denial @linguisticsmemes @linguistics
An ancestor of mine, Archpriest Francesco Paulo Caputi did one of the first studies in #dialectology in #Basilicata, looking at the same story told in each #dialetto from the 5 villages in the upper Agri Valley. The differences in each reflect the very different political histories of each village. #storiaitaliana #storia #ItalianHistory #histodons #linguistics #italia
Here’s my #introduction. I’m a #linguistics #nerd who specializes in #LVC ( #language #variation and change) #sociolinguistics #rstats and #dialectology. I am especially interested in the #English language in the #Maritimes in eastern #Canada. I teach at #universityofoxford. I also love #cooking #ukulele #litrpg and am super #gay @linguistics@a.gup.pe
