I had luck before on the badsite; let's try bsky: this term I'm teaching intro linguistics with a typology/diversity lens I love to harness expertise of friends/colleagues to show students languages I know little about SO if you know/use/study a language that's not normative AmEng, I need YOU! 🧵

Sociolinguists in and around Benelux or working on Beneluxian languages and varieties: come present your work at next year's Sociolinguistics Circle in Brussels! Nous avons hâte om jullie bij ons te verwelkomen - venez nombreux.ses ! Deadline for abstracts: December 1st, 2025.

Call for Papers: Sociolinguistics Circle 2026 VUB - Brussels Centre for Language Studies We invite abstracts for oral and poster presentations at the 12th edition of the Sociolinguistics Circle, to be held in Brussels on April 24th, 2026. Contributions should deal with topics in sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, dialectology, variationist linguistics, social dimensions of multilingualism and language contact, language policy and planning, or related disciplines. We welcome submissions from scholars with a connection to the Low Countries and/or on topics relevant to language varieties used in the Low Countries. Abstracts should be submitted before December 1st, 2025 via e-mail to sociolinguisticscircle2026@vub.be. They should be between 300 and 500 words, not including references. Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts, at most one of which may be sole- or first-authored. Abstracts should situate the study within the field and clearly identify the research aim, theoretical and methodological framework, main results and implications. Contributions can be submitted in Dutch, French, or English. Given the Sociolinguistics Circle’s orientation to the Low Countries, we would like to emphasise that contributions in Dutch and French or multilingual formats are warmly welcomed (e.g., presentation in Dutch/French, slides in English). All submissions will be reviewed by the organising committee. We aim to decide on acceptance before February 1st, 2026. Organising committee Rik Vosters Wim Vandenbussche Laura Rosseel Philipp Krämer

Vandaag begint een estafettestaking van de Nederlandse universiteiten. Op een enkele kleine lokale staking na is dit sinds mensenheugenis niet gebeurd. Staak mee! neerlandistiek.nl/2025/03/staa...

In einer Woche ist 🇩🇪 Bundestagswahl. In Washington, der Hauptstadt des einstmals wichtigsten Verbündeten, sind bis heute keine Wahlunterlagen eingetroffen. Bei einer Postlaufzeit von 7 - 10 Tagen drohen zigtausende Auslandsdeutsche ihres Wahlrechts beraubt zu werden. 🤐

Ich erzähle das nicht gerne, weil ich meine Ruhe haben möchte, aber langsam kann ich mir das nicht mehr leisten: Ich bin hier nicht geboren und habe mich einbürgern lassen. Wir müssen darüber reden, wie Einbürgerungen in Deutschland laufen. 1/x www.merkur.de/politik/merz...

Merz gibt deutliche Botschaft: „Aberkennung der deutschen Staatsbürgerschaft“

Merz zeigt sich unzufrieden mit den Einbürgerungsrichtlinien der Ampel. Bei einem Sieg bei der Bundestagswahl hat der CDU-Chef vor, einiges grundlegend zu verändern.

I'll teach a BA course on lg and social justice next semester. I'd love to showcase empirical work that demonstrates how the study of lg can help dismantle unjust structures. If you have done any work on this or have strong feelings about what should be included, please let me know below👇🏼

Today, over 20k students, instructors, researchers, administrators and others (incl. my RU colleagues and I) protested against the devastating budget cuts in Dutch higher education, which threaten the well-being of the country... A strong and necessary sign! #stopdebezuinigingen nos.nl/l/2545894

Duizenden studenten en medewerkers protesteren in Den Haag tegen bezuinigingen

De demonstratie stond eerst gepland op 14 november in Utrecht, maar die ging toen om veiligheidsredenen niet door.

Dear colleagues around the world, As you may know, the Netherlands has, since this summer, been governed by a radical right-wing administration with an agenda reminiscent of Orbán's Hungary.
