#KidsTalk was featured in @LangMaverick's #DiPVaC5 workshop on the acquisition of discourse-pragmatic variation. Children's language is amazing & we have lots to learn from them with respect to theories of language change. @UVicHumanities @UVicResearch @UVicLinguistics

[Chloé Diskin-Holdaway @ChloeDiskin]

Meanwhile in #DiPVaC5 @LangMaverick is leading a fascinating workshop on the acquisition of discourse-pragmatic variation by children!

Lab director @LangMaverick is in the press again—this time with @parentsmagazine—about 'like', kids' language, language evolution, language change, and language shaming. #lovelike @LeslieGoldman @UVicLinguistics @UVicHumanities @UVicResearch

Director @LangMaverick & @ilenriqz are headed to @nwav49 as part of a @NARNiHS special panel on historical sociolinguistics! Topic: Indirect quotation and why #belike isn't part of the system! https://t.co/hdmPK8zxb6

Félicitations, Emmanuelle Buaillon, on a fabulous thesis defence this morning (Victoria) / afternoon (Kentucky, Montreal, Toronto) / evening (France)! Our understanding of à/sur variation in French will never be the same! #proud @UVicLinguistics @UVicHumanities @uvicgradstudies
