So, this week I attended the first conference in about two years and only then I realized how much I missed this! Of course, it would have been even greater to be there in person (I mean, Finland in the summer, come on!), but I'm glad this also worked out great digitally! #ISLE6

Not sure if I'm reading the methodology section of an experiment or a summary of university administration/politics. 🥲

Visiting the GWZ of Universität Leipzig today. Being reminded of the 59th #StuTS student conference in 2016, which took place here as well. There, I had my very first solo conference talk as a grad student on shortening processes in gaming language. #goodtimes #easiertimes

@LaymansLinguist I am interested in sociolinguistics and (socio-)phonetics as well as digital ethnography and CMC, especially regarding World Englishes. My PhD project is on Namibian English(es) on YouTube.
