Caolan O'Neill

@Christianilbury @IGALAssoc @BoiseState Hi Christian! I've just shot you an email with some extra info on this. 😄

And #LavLang29 ⁦@BoiseState⁩ is kicking off — with Caolan O’Neill’s critical & entertaining analysis of stance in cis gay men’s use of reaction GIFs and images on ⁦#twitter

@JaneLugea @PembrokeOxford Thank you very much, Jane! I hope you’re keeping well also☺️

@CaolanJONeill @PembrokeOxford Congratulations Caolan, lovely to see your academic progression! I hope you're keeping well. Becca was updating me on your progress at the PhD induction yesterday.

Officially graduated! Now on to the doctorate. @PembrokeOxford

It’s v difficult to name just one, but I’ll go with Elinor Ochs for her highly influential work on language socialisation & gender Ochs, E. (1992). Indexing gender. In A. Buranti & C. Goodwin (Eds.), Rethinking context: Language as an interactive phenomenon (pp. 335–358). CUP.

One for @AccentismProj! #accentism

In which former NI Health Minister Jim Wells’ linguistic prejudices are on full display (again). Why exactly would it be ‘worse’ to have the COVID test information reproduced in Irish, Jim? (And what’s wrong with Welsh, for that matter?)

@rturne17 Guilty as charged...

They've come up with a new word for desperately working multiple jobs just to be able to afford rent.

@HadasKotek That texting and the internet are harmful to language (lol)

When they say that the Scots language is a lazy / uneducated version of English, what they're really saying is that they associate it with working class people and that's something to be ashamed of. That's a reflection on them and their ignorant prejudices, not on Scots.

Seems like The Republic of Gilead isn’t on the red list... #misogyny

Beware the scary Northern Irish people!!! etc. etc.

And: Russell Kane’s claim that “You’ve got the advantage with your [Northern Irish] accent, it’s one of the few accents on this island where the quieter it is, the more terrifying it is” youtu.be/OKJq7JWt4bo

Very striking repeated focus on this (Coventry-located) motion detector’s “Northern Irish accent” in the media’s coverage of this issue...

Hi #linguisticstwitter! I am a DPhil student in Linguistics, studying at @PembrokeOxford @UniofOxford, with a focus in sociolinguistics (esp. language, gender & sexuality, but also much more!). Looking forward to connecting with other linguists on here and learning more as I go!
