How to explain linguistics to your friends and family this holiday season

This time of year often involves leaving the cozy sanctuary of your linguistics department where everyone knows what a wug is and spending quality time with your non-linguist friends and family. Who, bless ‘em, are often a little bit confused about linguistics. So I’ve compiled a list of common questions and some resources to help you answer them. And if you end up needing a break, check out the linguistmas tag and my extensive archive of linguist humour, or contribute to the linguistics baked goods or handcrafts files. 

What is linguistics exactly? 

Explaining what linguistics is using geology and biology analogies Brain surgeon analogy Car analogy Botany analogy Subfields of linguistics explained using toy metaphors “Becoming conscious of previously unconscious phenomena is one of the principle joys of linguistic work”

So, you’re a linguist? How many languages do you know? 

Why linguists hate being asked how many languages they know Learning languages linguistically Turning “how many languages do you know?” into a good conversation using Gricean Maxims 

Wow, linguistics, I guess I’d better watch my grammar around you, right?

8 myths about language and linguistics On the interplay between copyediting and descriptivism We each have an idiolect, and they’re all okay How to have a conversation about language differences without being a prescriptivist

That’s not even in the dictionary! So many people are degrading language these days! 

Anne Curzan on what makes a word “real” xkcd on kids and text abbreviations and on grammar police vs fashion police Erin McKean, actual lexicographer, on what it means when a word isn’t in the dictionary The kilogram model of language and what’s wrong with the America’s ugliest accent challenge Language is open source Which English you speak has nothing to do with how smart you are People have been complaining about kids degrading language since the Middle Ages The many problems with the idea that emoji are in any way threatening the English language Kids these days aren’t ruining language

Don’t you just hate it when people say…?

In defence of “unnecessary” words Every argument you’ll ever need for singular “they” (plus the Canadian government’s support of it, why do we even have gendered pronouns, and a comparison with singular “you”) In defence of hyperbolic “literally” Vocal fry and can we stop hating on how young women talk? When it comes to Rachel Jeantel, who’s really on trial here?  Can we just, like, get over the way women talk? Move over Shakespeare, teen girls are the real language disruptors The problem with talking about “sounding gay” Why Chaucer said “ax” instead of “ask” and why some still do An interview with Alexandra D’Arcy about why “like” is so interesting

____ isn’t a real language! 

Indigenous languages, literacy, and the myth of the “unwritten language” What if we talked about monolingual White children the way we talk about low-income children of color? Myth-busting about sign languages The strange reason deaf children aren’t taught sign language

A linguistics degree? What are you going to do with that?

Check out the linguistics jobs series to help think about options beyond academia, or send people there to reassure them that options exist. 

What kinds of gifts can I give the linguist in my life?

An extensive list of pop linguistics books and lingfic (be sure to read the comments!) Here are linguistics merch/gift guide roundups from 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and Lingthusiasm merch: IPA scarves and descriptivist t-shirts, bags, and mugs

So I know this young person who might be interested in linguistics. Do you have any advice for them?

Any of the books in the list of books! How to teach yourself linguistics online for free  Intrigued by the linguistics in Arrival? Here’s what to check out next

Specifically for high schoolers: How to participate in the international linguistics olympiad and Linguistics resources for high school teachers

Advice on finding a linguistics undergrad, whether to go to grad school for linguistics (and more advice), and how to pick a linguistics graduate program

Tell me something interesting about linguistics! 

My go-to at parties is the script in Explaining English plurals to non-linguists, or put on any episode of Lingthusiasm.  

For a longer list of linguistic writing pitched at non-linguists, try here for articles I’ve written, here for other blogs, or here for some of my top blog posts. To write your own, see advice for writing pop linguistics articles and how pop linguistics differs from teaching and pop science. Or go for linguistics videos,  linguistically-relevant games, or this list of linguistics and language podcasts.

hey guys!!!

so this entire past month has been extremely, extremely stressful for me because i had so many exams and i only realised how hideously unprepared i was for them on the day before the exam, which was really really awful. so in the middle of september i created a studyblr to keep myself motivated + get some helpful tips from the studyblr community on how to go abt studying for tests. the results proved to be super helpful and ive resolved to keep running this blog for as long as i can, because it really helps me stay motivated and i’ve already learned so many things from the community, despite the fact that i’ve only been here for around a month.

but anyways, i decided to create this masterpost in order to help others stay motivated + keep studying not only well but also properly i.e. not necessarily studying for exams but life in general, if that makes sense.

~ staying motivated + focused

~ staying organized

~ note-taking

~ research techniques

~ essay writing

~ free online resources & courses

~ languages

~ survival tips + advice

~ mental/physical health

~ stress reliefs

~ music

i think that includes most of the best resources i could find!!! feel free to message me in case 1) any of the links are broken, 2) u want me to add on to something, 3) u have a suggestion for a masterpost [i would love that so go ahead and ask if u do] or if u just wanna talk! also, feel free to reblog and add ur own comments/resources. hope this helped!!
