I got to be in the guest seat this time on the latest @languageonthemove.bsky.social podcast episode hosted by the fabulous @empacheco.bsky.social !

I've published a new systematic review with @languageonthemove.bsky.social about how hospital staff determine patients' language proficiency. We show that this crucial step is often not part of anyone's workflow, so patients might miss out on interpreting services. doi.org/10.29140/aja...

New on the Language-on-the-Move podcast @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social: @htorsh.bsky.social chats with Lindsay McMahon from All Ears English how to teach English pronunciation well against the decline of native speakers and the rise of new technologies languageonthemove.com/teaching-eng...

I can’t stop thinking about a short video of Mamdani working through a Spanish-language announcement with AOC's help. So many US Latinxs grew up having our Spanish policed. This moment treated it as expertise instead. I wrote about why that matters. educationallinguist.substack.com/p/how-a-smal...

“X (Twitter) is just Versailles” is such an important point made by @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social. Well said, Adrian and Moira!

Do I know any fabulous linguists here who would like to have a convo with me about the use of Spanish in Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Asking for a future podcast episode 😀

Hey book community friends, new reading challenge just dropped! ☺️ The recs span from academic (mine is "Doing Digital Migration Studies", - amazing but not quite a bedside table read 😁) all the way to fantasy novels (@brynnquick.bsky.social rec'd The Winternight Trilogy 😍😍). Something for everyone!

Policies increasingly acknowledge multilingual realities but neglect to imagine the language work that is involved and how to build it into workflows in healthcare and elsewhere, as this new article by @brynnquick.bsky.social etal shows Behind paywall until Jan & OA afterwards

I'm published!!!!!!! This is my very first academic paper that I've published! Ever! I'm so thankful to my co-authors @languageonthemove.bsky.social Ingrid Piller and @loylising.bsky.social Loy Lising <3 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is such a timely discussion!

Dr. Cho is one of my favourite interviewees (and colleagues!) and her newest book is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of interpreting! @languageonthemove.bsky.social @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social

*nods in sociolinguist*: LOUDER for those in the back! This has been happening for generations - It's not Millennial / Gen Z / Gen Alpha slang - it's AAVE / AAE. (and for anyone interested in sociolinguistics of AAE who isn't already following @mixedlinguist.bsky.social, you should)

Prof Leah Karliner @ucsfhealth.bsky.social is doing such important work, and I was so lucky to talk with her for this @languageonthemove.bsky.social podcast episode with @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social!

Saw a sign at a protest today in Pasadena that made me want to cry. These are the kids the government is terrorizing. “Para mi padre que llegó sin nada y me dió todo”. “For my father who came with nothing and gave me everything”.

The world feels (is) unhinged, and I’m glad we’re acknowledging that in our word choices.

I was SO thrilled to be able to speak with @mixedlinguist.bsky.social Dr. Nicole Holliday about her research into linguistic identities for this @languageonthemove.bsky.social @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social podcast episode!

Dr Shibata does amazing work, and we’re so thankful to him for sharing that work with us on the @languageonthemove.bsky.social Language on the Move podcast!

An interesting analysis of gender and dialogue in movies, incl. a Disney subset. Gender is just one characteristic that comes into play on our screens. In a recent @languageonthemove.bsky.social podcast ep, @brynnquick.bsky.social and I discussed accents and how they can shape how we see the world

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

With the #Harvard news, this feels like a good time to reiterate that international students are OUR STUDENTS just as much as domestic students are. And they matter. www.languageonthemove.com/teaching-int...

In 2018, I realized that the emoji section in Because Internet needed more on gesture, so I asked @superlinguo.bsky.social what to read for an overview of the gesture literature She was like whew, tbh I wish that existed Now she's finally written me that overview 💚 (and you can read it too!)
