Our updated preprint proposes a new framework to assess the impact of individual mobility on dialect change - the Linguistic Mobility Index. The study shows what the quantification of exposure to dialectal variation promises for future studies! 🔗https://t.co/k2aF9FxG4M
4/ While that may seem obvious, imagine how enlightened urban managers might prioritize their city’s pain points based on a fine-grained analysis of emotion in different city spots at different times through social media.

“Our study highlights how it is possible to portray the characteristics of fine-grained emotions at a detailed spatial and temporal level throughout the whole city, using publicly available data sources.” Congrats, Panote! 🎉

2022 wird wohl das wärmste Jahr seit 1864 in der Schweiz. Das Jahresmittel dürfte am Ende 1,2-1,7 °C über der Norm 1991-2020 liegen. Damit 2022 noch unter das #Rekordjahr 2018 (+1,07 °C zur Norm) fällt, müsste der #Dezember 5,4 °C unter der Norm oder unter den 5 kältesten sein.
Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Happy to be in Mainz, Germany for the Methods in Dialectology #methodsxvii
conference, finally taking place. I've already learnt a lot! We'll have two presentations @sdatsbern on mapping Swiss German and mobility affecting dialect change.
Heute auf @20min / @MJ_unverstanden "Müssen wir uns nach dem Niesen entschuldigen?" 🤧 Wir haben 500 jüngere und 500 ältere Deutschschweizer:innen befragt: es gibt (a) Altersunterschiede und (b) regionale Variation 🙂 #schweizerdeutsch#soziolinguistik ➡️ https://t.co/UwssNBQt2y

This mosaic represents a sparkling turning point as we #UnfoldTheUniverse. #NASAWebb’s mirrors are now fully aligned! Next is instrument calibration, the final phase before Webb is ready for science: https://t.co/PcAxajyMfI
What do we see here? ⤵️
🇨🇭Switzerland's biggest supermarket chain is Migros🔶. People use all three grammatical gender for the word. Our new map (based on 1000 speakers, using knn, k=40) shows the spatial variation of this gender. Dialects are beautiful #dialectology#Diversity
Here's my more detailed thoughts this map and how we might do better when charting the flow of people from Ukraine (and elsewhere) https://t.co/pIppNgHEGQ
