Linguistic anthropologist @ UIUC.
I desperately want to know which building this is, and I'm also amazed that it isn't the anthropology building (which, being one of the oldest buildings on campus, consistently has bizarre problems).

I donโt know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content theyโre presenting.

In 9th grade, I got in trouble in gym class. We were doing a unit on the high jump, so I was told to write a two-page essay about the high jump. As someone who resented being assigned busywork, I went somewhat off the rails. Here are some excerpts from my paper. First, I established a premise.

I'm discussing the enregisterment of typefaces in class today, and usually I only talk about people's reactions to Comic Sans, but thanks to some fortuitous timing I have a new example.

Chants of Sennaar is a very cool linguistics-y game, but with one thing that annoyed my semi-linguist self: one of the languages' syntax initially appears to be verb-first (VS), but then every other sentence is OSV, so I guess it's just... Yoda syntax?

I can't actually justify including this in the book chapter I am currently writing, so I'll just put it here instead.

Something my students and I realized today, discussing Spitulnik's Zambian radio catchphrase article: a lot of the famous media phrases that have been taken up in American discourse ("Houston, we have a problem"; "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore") are examples of dramatic understatement.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets.
