@ArchieCrowley Thanks for listening!! 🥰

In honor of national grammar day: All languages are structured and equally complex. All languages adapt to meet the needs of their users. Keep languaging however you language.

.#Linguistics is descriptive, not prescriptive.
Languages are alive, and must adapt to the needs of their users.
And #RepresentationMatters

The three things I tell people who challenge me, as a linguist, about efforts to make language more inclusive.

"Get rid of your accent" ✖️

"Get rid of your accent prejudice" ✔️

you're probably being an asshole about language

Similarly, if you like an episode of a podcast, let the hosts know! I love hearing if someone connected with a particular episode. @VocalFriesPod

[Alex Johnston @alexandrasaab]

Change how you listen, don’t control how people talk

[Vijay Ramjattan @Vijay_Ramjattan]

Who has a "neutral accent?"

No one.

[LGBT+ Youth Manifesto @LGBTmanifesto]

We've now shared all 12 points in the LGBT+ Youth Manifesto, the manifesto written by young people aged 12-20. Our next step will be to reach out to policy-makers directly. In the meantime, please read and RT the young people's vision for a more inclusive society!

[Ian Cushing @ian_cushing]

Rather than requiring students to modify their ways of talking to align with patterns of so-called 'Standard English', how about we require teachers to modify the way they listen?

[Sadie Durkacz Ryan @sadie_d_ryan]

It's really surprised me, over the past year or so, to discover that quite a lot of people who have posh/prestigious accents truly seem to believe that accent discrimination doesn't exist any more. To me, that's evidence that we need to keep talking about it.

[Jonathan Rosa @DrJonathanRosa]

Sunday language ideologies seminar:

Who has an accent? Everyone.

What’s correct? Depends on who’s in power.

What’s accessible public writing? There are many accessibilities, publics, & literacies.

Who’s allowed to say that? Study context, hierarchy, & authority.

[Kelly 🔥 By Any Means 🔥 Wright @raciolinguistic]

This talk is now available on YouTube! In it I cover the origins of Anti-Black Linguistic Racism in this country, the defaulting of MUSE, and their effects on various institutions, including policing, media, and housing. https://t.co/8x2f9mv0el
