Why am I getting targeted social media ads for FBI jobs? Is German all of a sudden a critical language in the US? 🫠

@i_am_dragan @denis_weger Haha! Ich als multimodale kritische Diskursanalyse.

@LinguisticsShi1 I took a class on linguistics in college. I’m really into Pinker.

150.000 signatures in support of holding a referendum to ban gender-sensitive language in Austria! I simply can’t get over the fact that people ask to be represented and so many others find it okay to say “No! Non-male people don’t deserve to be seen!”

So important! I’m also wondering about toxic positivity in language education. When we want students to build a positive connection and identity in a language or even to love a language while it may be associated with existential stress and anxieties.

[Vijay Ramjattan @Vijay_Ramjattan]

Teachers who have engaged in language learning for leisure cannot immediately empathize with students who have to engage in language learning for survival.

@BerLinguistin Understand. Tricky. I think that quan is good at representing breadth; qual is better at representing depth, at understanding a phenomenon in its intricacies and complexities, which often gets smoothed out in quan research.

[Julia Ruck @jul_ru]

Very suspicious ...
