Every boy died at the bottom of the tree. Their spirits moved upward, lingering at the top. They'd been abstracted. #SpookyTalesForLinguists

Lee looked at the exploded tree, numb. He knew he should be scared, but he couldn't find his normal way to be tense #SpookyTalesForLinguists

Time for our Q&A! If you have any questions for our speakers, now's your chance!

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

So many topics to discuss! We're having a 10 minute break to have a chat about anything we found interesting 😄

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

"Language based discrimination is one of the most over looked forms of discrimination." Do you agree?

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

Now on to our third speaker, Caitlin Light!

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

Interesting idea on the 'root' and 'fruit' of slang words in judicial contexts - what the word means to you and what effect it has.

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

Thank you to our first speaker, Helen Saunston! Now on to our second speaker, Kwame Sekyere ~

[York LingSoc @YorkLingSoc]

Silence as discrimination? Discussions turn to the different types of discriminatory language.
