Lab director @LangMaverick is in the press again—this time with Parents Magazine—about 'like', kids' language, language evolution, language change, and language shaming. #lovelike @LeslieGoldman UVic Linguistics @UVicHumanities UVic Research

#KidsTalk was featured in @LangMaverick's #DiPVaC5 workshop on the acquisition of discourse-pragmatic variation. Children's language is amazing & we have lots to learn from them with respect to theories of language change. @UVicHumanities UVic Research UVic Linguistics
