More proof techniques

Anybody able to suggest some papers on non-specific definites? Saw this sentence on Wikipedia’s page on Specificity (linguistics) and both me and Shiyang Fu are curious what there is out there on the topic 1.) I’m looking for the manager, whoever that may be Thank you!

I’ve been a bit silent on this website recently, but I’m here to say: Despite telling myself I wouldn’t do LAGB this year due to finishing the thesis… I am doing LAGB this year 😆 So, come on to Newcastle to hear about everybody’s fave semantic topic… GRINDING!!!

Talk done, and my out of context summary from talking to people: When it comes to grinding, size matters 😏

It’ll never be perfect, but it’s more or less the book that I wish I had had 32 years ago. I hope that it illuminates more than it occludes and does service to this beautiful, fascinating language and the community who speak it 🙏 #gaelic #grammar #grateful

I made a Bluesky account! Same handle as on this website: LinguisVic Or just click on my linktree to get a shiny link over there: linktr.ee/linguisvic

And just like that, #lagb2024 is over! I’ve met some old friends and made some new ones. As always, LAGB is the nicest conference around. Everybody wants you to succeed. Also, I learned some cool new things, my personal favourite about Greek gender agreement patterns :D

Also I just changed my profile picture because it makes me laugh so much 🐱

Dydh da! An all-new episode of the language-loving podcast is up and it's a return to the Celtic languages – this time, it's Cornish. This was the choice of my guest, Daniel Prohaska, opera singer and Kernewek-xpert. Acast:shows.acast.com/a-language-i-l… Spotify:open.spotify.com/episode/7fEnWP…

This is so wild I love it

Actually I think this just shows linguists discussing anything 😂

Third year of the PhD, I've made the mistake of reading too much of the literature. There are no gaps in the literature. It's so over

I can’t express how bad, unintuitive, and frustrating Microsoft/Outlook are. I have no idea how they have conned the world 😠 I just wanted a query search 😭😭😭

The eternal research question: is this terribly written or am I too stupid to understand the argument?

It's that time of the year 😎 We are opening the call for student conference sponsorship! If you are part of a student-led committee who is organising a UK-based conference in Linguistics, reach out to us!

Moving off this website onto Bluesky. Find me there, same handle.
