My work presented at #FITA2023 Together with my colleague @Raphael_n_Langs we proudly represented @PLM_UW 😄 Thank you @pernipa and @ortega_ger for the opportunity to join such a knowledgeable workshop!

Funniest student feedback I ever received was “I learnt more than I wanted to”

@AdamCSchembri Same in Poland, it’s a coping mechanism 😆

[Weronika Szymańska @Vroobelek]

@mdemeulder @efsli Just today, a Deaf client told me, “thank you for not looking directly at me like others do” and it’s thanks to your presentation back then 😃 Thank you for sharing this insight!

Academia isn’t about fame, or money, or approval. It’s about downloading as many pdfs as you can before you die

Hey girl, are you eduroam, because we’re completely failing to connect.

Z dumą chciałbym Wam przedstawić raport z pierwszego ogólnopolskiego spisu tłumaczy języka migowego, zrealizowanego przez @stpjm_org_pl i ILS UW. Jestem jednym z autorów raportu, który napisaliśmy razem z dr Aleksandrą Kalatą-Zawłocką i Kamilą Skalską, prezeską STPJM.

Peak writing conditions

[Neil Renic @NC_Renic]

1) I might swap this word
2) I’ve ruined the sentence
3) now the paragraph is broken
4) I need a new career
5) no, the original word was better

So Han Sloetjes, part of the team that created ELAN at the @MPI_NL is retiring. The field of sign language research owes him and his colleagues so much! I wish him all the best, and thank him for being part of a methodological revolution in linguistics.

"This significant research gap has long puzzled the discipline..."

PhDs would be cooler if instead of "Dr", you earned a more personalized title - Janet the Broke, Toby the Anxious, John the Caffeinated, etc.

Just received the sad news that sociolinguist Barbara Horvath, from @Sydney_Uni, has passed away. 💔
She was a pioneer in the variationist study of Australian English, and as Trevor Johnston’s PhD supervisor, played a pivotal role in the first linguistics research on Auslan.

First-generation academics trying to work out anything

> reading @AdamCSchembri dissartation
> reading acknowledgements for 1h straight thinking it would be so cool to share a dance floor with so-and-so
> sending it to my friends and writing them parody acknowledgements for my non-existent dissertation
> wow, what a productive day

Seasoned interpreter who’s not afraid to show a little personality vs Fresh-out-of-ITP noobie who’s afraid of the Code of Ethics

A wiecie, że Taylor Swift ma swoje koncerty tłumaczone na język migowy? I ten w PL też będzie ;) Niestety nie będzie telebimu ani live, ale możecie na stadionie wypatrywać zespołu tłumaczy którzy ostatnie dni pracowali intensywnie 😁 czyli: @mareklsmietana @Vroobelek i inni!

It is a scientific fact that languages vary and change, and it is a misrepresentation to state that this represents a ‘distortion’ of language.
