@marxling Yes

Denver friends, acquaintances, lovers, nemeses—anyone going to the Beths / Alvvays this Saturday? 👀

@GraceOnFootball they're missing out by not hitting the manager with the most expected points per million pounds spent per 90 in league matches :/

Seen some very dodgy media reporting around Liverpool's next manager and analytics, so let's be clear: you cannot just "score" a manager and say to hire the one with the biggest number. It does not work like that at all, and I'm sure no one at LFC thinks it does.

@SashaWilmoth What is this second language like? I would imagine in small scale multilingual societies there is little classroom learning and hence little literature on the topic (unless descriptive)

is there any literature that describes the actual details of adult second language learning or teaching in 'small-scale/traditional' multilingual societies?

@markrstats What did you count as immediately?

Bayer Leverkusen is one of the best counter-pressing teams in Europe. Their ability to swiftly regain possession high up the pitch immediately after losing it is notable, enabling them to maintain relentless pressure on opponents (1/2)

@SagirAhmed98 It's interesting that if you go further north to Arunachal Pradesh, at least in Adi (Bori-Karko), you get a completely unrelated form: "eso" (from Lalrempuii, 2005) so I wonder exactly which TB groups align here

Compare - Khasi mythen, mythùn Dimasa mithaŋ Kokborok mɔ tʰna Deori মেতু metu Tusom mithyn Also compare these terms meaning "cattle, cow" - Angami mi thu Chokri me tho Rengma me tha, mʌ thü Rongmei, Khoirao tom Zeme ge tum Phom mi thü Some have suggested a Khasic origin. But /

Mithun which is used for the Gayal and sometimes Gaur comes from Nagamese and Nefamese mithun, methon, from Assamese মেঠোন [mɛtʰʊn], মেঠন [mɛtʰɔ̞n] "Gaur, Gayal", from Middle Assamese মেঠন meṭhônô. In Hindi etc it was borrowed as mithun मिथुन (hin: [mɪt̪ʰʊn]), being influenced /

@maria_esipova I would love to, though I would call myself an "advanced beginner" so idk if you'd want to play yet (I promise I'm not that good just been playing a while lol), but also LMK if you want resources on learning! (I have a similar story to how I got into chess tbh!)

so if there are some similar beginners(+) in my circles who wanna play against a real human who's bad at chess, challenge me at chess.com/play/bufflingu… or pm me if you wanna use a different platform. (if you're advanced, i probably wouldn't want to play against you yet sorry) 3/3

a few weeks ago, i randomly decided to properly learn how to play chess. i've known the basic rules since childhood, but nothing on how to *actually* play chess & as a kid i mostly only played against my mom & were never able to win. this has always been a huge insecurity for 1/3

@lingdustin it was weird initially but it's fine for me, I think it can be a head noun for me in other situations too (however maybe only where it's easy to recover what the dose is 'of'?)

Our first LingCircle talk of Fall 2023 is coming up on Thurs, Nov 2 with Dr. Kristine Stenzel! Her lecture will cover direct or quoted speech in Kotiria, an endangered language of northwestern Amazonia. Join us! calendar.colorado.edu/event/lingcirc… #Linguistics #BeBoulder

@RiotLinguist wishing to be Served

and some of it feels a bit controversial (but that's where my data leads me!) If you can't make it, my slides are here: osf.io/kca4n/ Will upload references soon!

closing out at #ICHL26 today talking about numeral classifiers in the eastern himalayan region (again 😩). But if you're around, come by! I've revised some hypotheses... #D5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">slav.uni-heidelberg.de/forschung/tagu…

@NickTriani @SebSB contract length matters...

@SebSB Honestly - If Rice is worth 105M then surely Kane is worth 150M? Bayern challenge for the CL with Kane - do Arsenal challenge in any tournament with Rice?

@tadbhavism I feel like it's an extension of giving a talk/ lecture/address? Lol

is “giving a concert” a phrase in english or am I just calquing bengali

@johnspacemuller why is football analytics so allergic to good and consistent documentation of their definitions 😢

@TermyLC ohhhh LOL. yeah no clue.

@TermyLC maybe because it's next to the english text? 🤔

the words "apprehensive mood" and "fun" should never cooccur in a sentence 😔

i feel like my old research projects are just ghosts over my shoulders... coding some grammars for a project on nominal negation but i can't help but also always check "wait does this language have an apprehensive/lest construction btw....just for fun..." 😭

@Raghnaid_Anna Well those metaphors aren't concurrent, I don't think lol

@PatrickDaitya No, but I’m baffled by the use of “Babel” as a metaphor for an untouched paradise.

the one thing that really icks me out about 'older' conceptions of linguistic diversity and writings about it is this idea of an 'untouched paradise' that existed, that is often expressed with biblical metaphors like "Babel"/"Garden of Eden"... (1/2)
