Style shifts are used to access basilectal features and associated indexical fields of in-group membership and speech community authenticity.

[Dr. Ruthanne Hughes @Ruthanne47]

Here's a late-tweet of @carpehorizon's talk this morning at #LSA2022: Sociophonetic style-shifting: r-lessness in the construction of Gullah Geechee performance and personhood
@UofSCLing, @LingSocAm

[Dr. Ruthanne Hughes @Ruthanne47]

Stylized speech is more r-less than nonstylized speech, showing that r-lessness is a feature being accessed in these performances of personhood

@linguistpapi closes us out with a bang with their beautiful interdisciplinary talk that interweaves linguistics & performance studies in an exploration of cuir/trans ballroom & performance language, "transpatería as praxis"

[Dr. Ruthanne Hughes @Ruthanne47]

@LingSocAm

[Lex Konnelly, Ph.Dead ☠️ @lexicondk]

Fabulous & super fun talk from @BrookeEEnglish on bringing somatechnics into a trans studies framework; “Since language produces bodies and technology affects language, we must consider technology in our explorations of language”

[Dr. Ruthanne Hughes @Ruthanne47]

[Lex Konnelly, Ph.Dead ☠️ @lexicondk]

Then, a terrific talk from @jadio_studies on NPR's "taming of the trans sublime": the use of trans people as peripheral evidence rather than central subject matter (or for the advancement of more general theory) in public radio

An incredible talk from @julien_de_jesus: “Even though Zimman 2020’s trans framework regards transformation, fluidity, and movement as central aspects of both identity and language, it fails to account for the racial rigidity imposed & undergirded by white supremacy"
