@DB_Presse Liebe Bahn, als treue Bahnkundin muss man bei euch einiges mitmachen und entschuldigen (Verspätungen, Zugausfälle etc.) Und ihr schafft es nicht einmal, Kulanz zu zeigen, wenn jemand versehentlich vergisst, die Bahncard50 zu kündigen um eine Bahncard25 zu kaufen. Klasse Leistung
@opodo Your (prime) customer service unfortunately is a joke. If I pay extra to choose my own seat and then the airline assigns me a different seat, it is your responsibility to figure out the problem, not tell me to call again tomorrow...

PhD position in sign linguistics. This is such a fascinating project, I would want to do something like that myself (if I didn't have other projects ongoing).

Why can't we say "I like spinach at all"? Because "at all" is a Negative Polarity Item (NPI), it can only be used in negated contexts like "I don't like". Does German Sign Language have NPIs, too? @CorneliaLoos12 and @marc_schulder are using the DGS Corpus to find out! #tislr14
@MarieCoppola68@rain_bosworth Agreed! I think the earthquake alarm happened during the performance but I can't quite remember, too focused on the performance
Signs for speaking, gossiping, blabbering etc. are often iconic of oral speech in ASL and NGT. This recent paper of mine discusses iconic sources of speech act verbs and what conditions them:

Want to know more about how head movements echo manual movements across sign languages? Donna Jo Napoli and my paper is finally out!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! There are many different signs for "woman" in DGS (#GermanSignLanguage), their regional variation can be seen on this map of the DW-DGS: https://t.co/aucfWucwpq
