We are group of #ECR in #linguistics concerned with linguistic discrimination in #academic #publishing. We propose to develop a community-based solution to fight it: a pool of volunteer proofreaders who are confident in English and can help their peers! 🧵

Linguistics is such an important discipline, it's disheartening to see such decisions being taken in the first place and indeed very good of the Academy of Europe to make this statement, which I as a member also fully subscribe to.
Simon Kirby@SimonKirby

Happy to see this statement from the Academy of Europe (of which I am a proud member) urging the Spanish government to rethink its removal of linguistics as a distinct subject of study in Spain's university system. ae-info.org/ae/Acad_Main/N…

#phoneticians Have you tried to get OpenAI's Whisper transcriptions to force-align later in Praat? Does it work? Since we now have an API I am thinking if it could be worth the effort...

Stories last. This paper traces back fairy tales across languages & cultures to common ancestors, arguing that the oldest date back at least 6,000 years. One of the most ancient became the myth of Sisyphus & Thanatos in ancient Greece. The diagram is neat royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

so, @xkcd wrote a very nice book about absurd hypothetical questions sadly, only a few of them were about linguistics so we brought him onto our podcast to ask us a FULL EPISODE of delightful and silly linguistics questions you're welcome.
Lingthusiasm@lingthusiasm

What if...there were more absurd hypothetical questions about linguistics? In this episode, we're joined by @xkcd for a reverse interview: he asks us his weirdest linguistics questions in celebration of his new book, What If? 2 soundcloud.com/lingthusiasm/7…

Why a pilot? 💁🏾‍♀️This pilot will help us figure out how to design the guidelines that proofreaders in the live program will need to adhere to to ensure fair and consistent treatment of manuscripts. (4/5)
