Bachtyar Ali, a prominent Kurdish intellectual and The Amargi columnist, explains why Rojava is being targeted from all sides and why it matters as an anti-fascist political project.

So sad to hear about the passing of Deb Cameron! One of the brightest, most incisive and most fun voices in sociolinguistics. She will be sadly missed! If you want to honor her by re-reading some of her work, this old post is still worth a read: www.languageonthemove.com/language-lie...

Desperately sad news about Deborah Cameron today. She was such a brilliant, incisive presence in the world of linguistics and particularly language and gender. Don't know what else to say but I'm sure there will be many tributes paid to her and her work in the days to come.

Thanks to @languageonthemove.bsky.social for making these spaces a reality!

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term “language shift”? What are the circumstances that lead to the extinction of a language, and how can we participate in its protection and survival?

#OTD 98 years ago, William Labov (1927-2024) was born 🥳 He was a pioneering sociolinguist studying language variation, dialectology, but also AAVE. In 1966, Labov published his landmark study "The Social Stratification of English in New York City". #LinguisticBirthdays #Histlx

Yesterday at @uni-hamburg.de , we had the opportunity to see the result of a two-month analysis of literacy exams in Germany, resulting in the Language Skills and Self-Assessment - LiDS Lunch Lecture.

Introducing this week’s reading 🤗

Today, watching the lecture Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation with Prof. Dr. Ingrid Piller. It’s inspiring to see where this work had led to not only the creation of responsible research communities but has also generated impact on the lives of participant and language perception.

Today marks a milestone in my professional career after 8 years of migration history behind me and constant life learnings. I presented my MAs thesis and opened the path to future research for my PhD at @uni-hamburg.de . Ready excited about what will come 🎩 @languageonthemove.bsky.social
