| og:description | Who runs this blog? All Things Linguistic is a linguistics blog by Gretchen McCulloch. I started this blog when I was a linguistics grad student at McGill University, but now I write about linguistics for a general audience full-time. I write pop linguistics articles for various places and I’m the author of Because Internet, a book about internet language for Riverhead (Penguin) which came out July 23, 2019. I also cohost Lingthusiasm, a podcast that’s enthusiastic about linguistics, with Lauren Gawne of the blog Superlinguo. So you’re a linguist. How many languages do you know? I think you may be looking for why linguists hate being asked how many languages they know. You may also be interested in 8 myths about language and linguistics and the language learning episode of Lingthusiasm. Don’t you just hate it when people talk like…? Nope. May I suggest you check out my prescriptivism tag? Wow! You have a lot of posts. Where do I even start with your archives? You can get my top linguistics news of the month as an email, including my latest Lingthusiasm episode, Wired column, and a few highlights from this blog and from twitter (including memes). In addition to the posts mentioned on this page and the tags along the side, try the post roundups from my 1-year blogiversary, my 2-year blogiversary, my 3-year blogiversary, my 4-year blogiversary, my 5-year blogiversary, my 6-year blogiversary, my 7-year blogiversary, my 8-year blogiversary, my 9-year blogiversary, my 10-year blogiversary, 2013 highlights, 2014 highlights, 2015 highlights, 2016 highlights, 2017 highlights, 2018 highlights, 1000th post highlights, and how to explain linguistics to your friends and family. You may also be interested in the so-far-much-less-daunting archives of my podcast, Lingthusiasm. When is your book coming out? That’s right, I wrote a book about internet language! Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language came out July 23, 2019. You can get it at your local bookshop or by following the online ordering links here. Or if you want to make very sure you don’t miss any future book news, you can put your email address in this form to get monthly updates about what I’m writing and other interesting linguistics links from around the internet. I’ve seen that you’ve written and published a book. How can I do that? There are tons of author and agent blogs that will answer your publishing questions in far more detail than I, a person with the experience of writing exactly one (1) book, can do. Google will point you to their specific posts very efficiently. I also recommend writing some short-form pop linguistics articles to get a sense of whether this is something you enjoy (see advice for that below). For early-stage advice (what kind of publisher should I be aiming for? do I need an agent?), I have found Jane Friedman’s blog helpful; for mid-stage advice (assuming you decided to go with big trade publishers as I did), I’d suggest reading Kate McKean’s Agents and Books newsletter; and for late-stage advice (when you’ve got a book coming out), I recommend Mary Robinette Kowal’s Debut Author lessons. If you’re a linguist by training, have read extensively through the author advice archives above and my advice post here, have published several short-form pop linguistics pieces, and are at least partway through writing a draft book proposal, you are welcome to reach out to me directly with questions that haven’t yielded to your googling. I very much want there to be more pop linguistics written by actual linguists, while at the same time also recognizing that I am also trying to produce this, so the most effective way of making that happen is for people to take the generic advice before asking me for specific advice. I’ve seen that you write pop linguistics articles for a variety of other websites. How can I do this? Check out my Advice for writing pop linguistics articles and Differences between pop linguistics, teaching, and even other pop science, and Advice for writing short form pieces before writing a pop linguistics book. For a list of articles I’ve written for other places, see here. I’ve seen that you somehow make a living being an internet linguist. How can I have a Weird Internet Career like that? I’ve written a series about Weird Internet Careers and how I became an internet linguist: Part I - What is a Weird Internet Career? Part II - How I Built a Weird Internet Career as an Internet Linguist Part III - How to start a Weird Internet Career Part IV - How to make money doing a Weird Internet Career Part V - What can a Weird Internet Career look like? Part VI - Is it too late for me to start my Weird Internet Career? Part VII - How to level up your Weird Internet Career If you want to get the whole series as a single doc, with bonus Weird Internet Career-building questions to think about, you can sign up for my newsletter on Substack here, which will also get you monthly updates about my future Weird Internet Career activities as an Internet Linguist. How do I get more fun linguistics things in my life? You may be interested in the 40+ pages of posts tagged “linguist humour”, as well as how to make your own IPA Scrabble set and IPA Bingo. For articles I’ve written for other websites, see: Resident Linguist columns at Wired by Gretchen McCulloch Resident Linguist columns at The Toast by Gretchen McCulloch Gretchen McCulloch author page at Mental Floss Gretchen McCulloch author page at Slate Gretchen McCulloch author page at Quartz I’m in high school, not in school, or at a university without an actual linguistics program. How can I teach myself linguistics? Start with How to teach yourself linguistics online for free. You may also want to check out my protolinguist series and resources for high school teachers. I also have specific advice on linguistics and the IB extended essay, as well as book reviews and resources from teaching ling camp. Where should I go to grad school/undergrad for linguistics? How do I major in linguistics? Should I do a PhD in linguistics? Here’s some advice on finding a linguistics program that’s a good fit for you and your interests, as well as a bit on getting through the application process. How to look for linguistics undergrad programs/college majors How to decide whether you want to go to linguistics grad school How to apply to and pick a linguistics grad school Should you go to grad school in linguistics? Maybe What are some real-world linguistics events that I can go to? Here’s a list of linguistics conferences for students and/or undergrads and a list of linguistics summer programs. If you’re in high school, you may also be interested in your local Linguistics Olympiad. I’d like to invite you to my real-world linguistics event! Will you come? Could you give a talk? Maybe! I like giving talks, so you can definitely give it a try, especially if you have a budget for the event or I happen to be in the area. Here are some talks I have given recently, and my contact information is on my website. I want to hire a linguist to help with my linguistics-related project. Or, I am a linguist and I want to hire someone to help me with a public outreach project. Would you be interested? Quite possibly! I have worked with SwiftKey on analyzing the linguistics of emoji from their massive dataset, and with the Scots Syntactic Atlas (SCOSYA) on the public outreach component of their project. Feel free to get in touch. Do you run guest posts? Sometimes! I am happy to be kept informed about linguistics outreach initiatives, such as getting the general public, children, high school students, undergrads, and any kind of underrepresented group into linguistics, as well as new or perennial research topics that are accessibly explained. I often reblog or link to posts written by other people, which gives me more discretion about what to include but I’m also open to guest posts on these topics. You should definitely send me any photos you have of linguistics baked goods, linguistics handcrafts, linguistics costumes, awesome linguistics merch, or other creative diy linguistics projects you’ve made. Please let me know who I should credit the pictures to! I sometimes accept books for review, but I am not interested in promoting language learning apps/websites or other “sponsored content” deals. I’m writing a paper about internet linguistics. Do you have some sources that I can cite? All my posts about internet linguistics are tagged with language on the interwebz, and I’d also recommend browsing through the bibliography of Because Internet. For online resources, I’d encourage you to check out the open-access journal Language@Internet: browse through its list of articles, click on the ones that seem relevant to what you’re working on, and then check out their references sections. You can also search for the names of these articles in Google Scholar to get a list of later-published articles that cite them. If you write a paper involving original data collection and analysis, you might also want to consider submitting it to Language@Internet or another journal so that other people can find it! Ask your professor for advice about submitting articles for publication: they will hopefully offer to read it and give you comments before submitting. I cannot provide individualized reading/citation lists for course projects via email, though you may very well get lucky if you happen to chat with me in person at a conference or somewhere! Can I quote you in my linguistics paper/thesis/article/blog post? How would you like to be cited? If you think a post of mine is relevant to something you’re writing, I’m happy to be cited according to any standard citation practice. For the author field, my name is on my personal website, All Things Linguistic is the website/publication title, and please include a url for the specific post. (The post url can be found by clicking on the datestamp at the bottom of each post.) For online citation, a link back to the relevant post(s) is fine. If you’re wondering if I’m going to write an academic journal version of a blog post or popular article that you can cite instead, I’d encourage you to re-examine your notions of what constitutes a citable source in the 21st Century. Academia has long allowed personal communication to be cited in scholarly articles, so if you already want to cite the ideas or data from a particular blog post or public-facing article, it is no less scholarly than talking to me in a hallway somewhere. Please note however that I not-infrequently reblog posts by other people and add commentary, so make sure that you’re citing the actual author of the portion of the post you’re interested in. This is too small a space to explain in detail how reblogs on tumblr work, so I’d suggest asking a more tumblr-savvy friend if you’re unsure. If you’re a journalist or other media person, my contact information can also be found via my website. If you’re quoting an existing post for a public forum, I’d appreciate if you got in touch first, as my thoughts may have evolved since I wrote it. If my work helps you with your research, I’d encourage you to give back to the cause of public outreach by improving Wikipedia in your area of expertise, especially by adding well-sourced information about digitally disadvantaged languages and ensuring that notable women, people of colour, and other potentially underrepresented people in your subfield have Wikipedia articles and that those articles are in good condition (see lingwiki for ongoing projects in this area), and/or by supporting Lingthusiasm and thereby my general public linguistics work on Patreon. I’m teaching a class on linguistics/English/new media/etc. and I’d like to share one or more of your posts or articles with my students. Is that okay? Yes! Please include a citation (with url) and watch out for reblogs, same as above. If my work helps you with your teaching, I’d encourage you to give back to the cause of public outreach by having your students improve related articles on Wikipedia as a class assignment (Wiki Ed would love to hear from you and they have full-time staff to help!) and/or by supporting Lingthusiasm and thereby my general public linguistics work on Patreon. Can you help me with my linguistics homework? I’m writing a paper: do you know of any research on __? I don’t provide specific help with questions that look like course questions or requests for a list of citable sources, partly because different courses may use different conventions so my help may not actually be useful to you, and partly because your professor probably intends you to do your own thinking. For research questions, I recommend Google Scholar and/or your university librarian. For homework questions, I strongly encourage you to ask your professor or TA, since this is exactly what they’re there for, but you may find helpful both my intro linguistics tag and these posts in particular (subject areas link to their respective tags for even more): 28 tips for doing better in your intro linguistics course How to find a topic for your linguistics paper Phonetics & Phonology How to remember the IPA vowel chart How to remember the IPA consonant chart IPA transcription practice A detailed explanation of sonorants, obstruents, and sonority A very elaborate Venn diagram of English phonological features The basics of how Optimality Theory works, with coffee analogy Allophones of /t/, explained with internet gifs Several good visualizations and explanations of the vocal tract Morphology & Syntax Morphological typology cartoons So you asked the internet how to draw syntax trees.

How to fake-pronounce any foreign language 12 ways to stop freezing up when you try to speak a second language How to learn a third language (while keeping your second one) How to learn vocabulary in 12 steps (using science) Where is your header photo from? It’s a photo I took of the linguistics section at The Montague Bookmill, a delightful used bookstore. Linguistics sections are rare enough in non-university bookstores that I like to take photos of them! How do I follow/read more linguistics? If this one linguistics blog just isn’t enough linguistics in your life, you can check out my top 20 best linguistics blogs list, an extensive list of pop linguistics books and lingfic, a long list of youtube channels and other online videos about linguistics, and a list of linguistics podcasts, including mine. Alternative ways of following this blog include twitter, facebook, instagram, and rss. You can also sign up for monthly emails to get a few highlights from this blog and other linguistics links in your inbox every month. For casual, mostly-linguistics thoughts at irregular intervals, check out my personal twitter. I have another question! How do I ask you it? There are a lot of people with linguistics questions, and only so many hours in my day. I prioritize answering new things that will reach a large number of people and/or pay me money over privately replying to individual people’s queries, especially on topics I’ve already written about. I also do not respond to questions or interview requests that are class assignments (here are several explanations from other public scientists on why this is not feasible). I used to be able to do more of this, but now there are simply too many. There are no guarantees, but here are the types of questions that I am more likely to reply to: Really interesting questions I’ve never heard before, especially about new memes or recent developments in internet language (how do you know whether I’ve heard it? try googling allthingslinguistic + a few words from your query) Questions asked publically on twitter rather than privately via email or tumblr, especially if it’s something that may be of interest to more people than just you and cannot be answered by simple googling (protip: your google is as good as mine for etymology questions) Questions on linguistics outreach, such as getting high school students interested in linguistics or improving linguistics content on Wikipedia Queries from media outlets with substantial reach, which I do prefer to receive via email rather than social media Questions from patrons of my podcast, Lingthusiasm, which has several different question-asking options that I’d encourage you to explore |

Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language came out July 23, 2019. You can get it at your local bookshop or by following the online ordering links here. Or if you want to make very sure you don’t miss any future book news, you can put your email address in this form to get monthly updates about what I’m writing and other interesting linguistics links from around the internet. I’ve seen that you’ve written and published a book. How can I do that? There are tons of author and agent blogs that will answer your publishing questions in far more detail than I, a person with the experience of writing exactly one (1) book, can do. Google will point you to their specific posts very efficiently. I also recommend writing some short-form pop linguistics articles to get a sense of whether this is something you enjoy (see advice for that below). For early-stage advice (what kind of publisher should I be aiming for? do I need an agent?), I have found Jane Friedman’s blog helpful; for mid-stage advice (assuming you decided to go with big trade publishers as I did), I’d suggest reading Kate McKean’s Agents and Books newsletter; and for late-stage advice (when you’ve got a book coming out), I recommend Mary Robinette Kowal’s Debut Author lessons. If you’re a linguist by training, have read extensively through the author advice archives above and my advice post here, have published several short-form pop linguistics pieces, and are at least partway through writing a draft book proposal, you are welcome to reach out to me directly with questions that haven’t yielded to your googling. I very much want there to be more pop linguistics written by actual linguists, while at the same time also recognizing that I am also trying to produce this, so the most effective way of making that happen is for people to take the generic advice before asking me for specific advice. I’ve seen that you write pop linguistics articles for a variety of other websites. How can I do this? Check out my Advice for writing pop linguistics articles and Differences between pop linguistics, teaching, and even other pop science, and Advice for writing short form pieces before writing a pop linguistics book. For a list of articles I’ve written for other places, see here. I’ve seen that you somehow make a living being an internet linguist. How can I have a Weird Internet Career like that? I’ve written a series about Weird Internet Careers and how I became an internet linguist: Part I - What is a Weird Internet Career? Part II - How I Built a Weird Internet Career as an Internet Linguist Part III - How to start a Weird Internet Career Part IV - How to make money doing a Weird Internet Career Part V - What can a Weird Internet Career look like?

If you’re in high school, you may also be interested in your local Linguistics Olympiad. I’d like to invite you to my real-world linguistics event! Will you come? Could you give a talk? Maybe! I like giving talks, so you can definitely give it a try, especially if you have a budget for the event or I happen to be in the area. Here are some talks I have given recently, and my contact information is on my website. I want to hire a linguist to help with my linguistics-related project. Or, I am a linguist and I want to hire someone to help me with a public outreach project. Would you be interested? Quite possibly! I have worked with SwiftKey on analyzing the linguistics of emoji from their massive dataset, and with the Scots Syntactic Atlas (SCOSYA) on the public outreach component of their project. Feel free to get in touch. Do you run guest posts? Sometimes! I am happy to be kept informed about linguistics outreach initiatives, such as getting the general public, children, high school students, undergrads, and any kind of underrepresented group into linguistics, as well as new or perennial research topics that are accessibly explained. I often reblog or link to posts written by other people, which gives me more discretion about what to include but I’m also open to guest posts on these topics. You should definitely send me any photos you have of linguistics baked goods, linguistics handcrafts, linguistics costumes, awesome linguistics merch, or other creative diy linguistics projects you’ve made. Please let me know who I should credit the pictures to! I sometimes accept books for review, but I am not interested in promoting language learning apps/websites or other “sponsored content” deals. I’m writing a paper about internet linguistics. Do you have some sources that I can cite? All my posts about internet linguistics are tagged with language on the interwebz, and I’d also recommend browsing through the bibliography of Because Internet. For online resources, I’d encourage you to check out the open-access journal Language@Internet: browse through its list of articles, click on the ones that seem relevant to what you’re working on, and then check out their references sections. You can also search for the names of these articles in Google Scholar to get a list of later-published articles that cite them. If you write a paper involving original data collection and analysis, you might also want to consider submitting it to Language@Internet or another journal so that other people can find it! Ask your professor for advice about submitting articles for publication: they will hopefully offer to read it and give you comments before submitting. I cannot provide individualized reading/citation lists for course projects via email, though you may very well get lucky if you happen to chat with me in person at a conference or somewhere! Can I quote you in my linguistics paper/thesis/article/blog post? How would you like to be cited? If you think a post of mine is relevant to something you’re writing, I’m happy to be cited according to any standard citation practice. For the author field, my name is on my personal website, All Things Linguistic is the website/publication title, and please include a url for the specific post. (The post url can be found by clicking on the datestamp at the bottom of each post.) For online citation, a link back to the relevant post(s) is fine. If you’re wondering if I’m going to write an academic journal version of a blog post or popular article that you can cite instead, I’d encourage you to re-examine your notions of what constitutes a citable source in the 21st Century. Academia has long allowed personal communication to be cited in scholarly articles, so if you already want to cite the ideas or data from a particular blog post or public-facing article, it is no less scholarly than talking to me in a hallway somewhere. Please note however that I not-infrequently reblog posts by other people and add commentary, so make sure that you’re citing the actual author of the portion of the post you’re interested in. This is too small a space to explain in detail how reblogs on tumblr work, so I’d suggest asking a more tumblr-savvy friend if you’re unsure. If you’re a journalist or other media person, my contact information can also be found via my website. If you’re quoting an existing post for a public forum, I’d appreciate if you got in touch first, as my thoughts may have evolved since I wrote it. If my work helps you with your research, I’d encourage you to give back to the cause of public outreach by improving Wikipedia in your area of expertise, especially by adding well-sourced information about digitally disadvantaged languages and ensuring that notable women, people of colour, and other potentially underrepresented people in your subfield have Wikipedia articles and that those articles are in good condition (see lingwiki for ongoing projects in this area), and/or by supporting Lingthusiasm and thereby my general public linguistics work on Patreon. I’m teaching a class on linguistics/English/new media/etc. and I’d like to share one or more of your posts or articles with my students. Is that okay? Yes! Please include a citation (with url) and watch out for reblogs, same as above. If my work helps you with your teaching, I’d encourage you to give back to the cause of public outreach by having your students improve related articles on Wikipedia as a class assignment (Wiki Ed would love to hear from you and they have full-time staff to help!) and/or by supporting Lingthusiasm and thereby my general public linguistics work on Patreon. Can you help me with my linguistics homework? I’m writing a paper: do you know of any research on __? I don’t provide specific help with questions that look like course questions or requests for a list of citable sources, partly because different courses may use different conventions so my help may not actually be useful to you, and partly because your professor probably intends you to do your own thinking. For research questions, I recommend Google Scholar and/or your university librarian. For homework questions, I strongly encourage you to ask your professor or TA, since this is exactly what they’re there for, but you may find helpful both my intro linguistics tag and these posts in particular (subject areas link to their respective tags for even more): 28 tips for doing better in your intro linguistics course How to find a topic for your linguistics paper Phonetics & Phonology How to remember the IPA vowel chart How to remember the IPA consonant chart IPA transcription practice A detailed explanation of sonorants, obstruents, and sonority A very elaborate Venn diagram of English phonological features The basics of how Optimality Theory works, with coffee analogy Allophones of /t/, explained with internet gifs Several good visualizations and explanations of the vocal tract Morphology & Syntax Morphological typology cartoons So you asked the internet how to draw syntax trees.

For casual, mostly-linguistics thoughts at irregular intervals, check out my personal twitter. I have another question! How do I ask you it? There are a lot of people with linguistics questions, and only so many hours in my day. I prioritize answering new things that will reach a large number of people and/or pay me money over privately replying to individual people’s queries, especially on topics I’ve already written about. I also do not respond to questions or interview requests that are class assignments (here are several explanations from other public scientists on why this is not feasible). I used to be able to do more of this, but now there are simply too many. There are no guarantees, but here are the types of questions that I am more likely to reply to: Really interesting questions I’ve never heard before, especially about new memes or recent developments in internet language (how do you know whether I’ve heard it? try googling allthingslinguistic + a few words from your query) Questions asked publically on twitter rather than privately via email or tumblr, especially if it’s something that may be of interest to more people than just you and cannot be answered by simple googling (protip: your google is as good as mine for etymology questions) Questions on linguistics outreach, such as getting high school students interested in linguistics or improving linguistics content on Wikipedia Queries from media outlets with substantial reach, which I do prefer to receive via email rather than social media Questions from patrons of my podcast, Lingthusiasm, which has several different question-asking options that I’d encourage you to explore |

| property | og:description | Who runs this blog? All Things Linguistic is a linguistics blog by Gretchen McCulloch. I started this blog when I was a linguistics grad student at McGill University, but now I write about linguistics for a general audience full-time. I write pop linguistics articles for various places and I’m the author of Because Internet, a book about internet language for Riverhead (Penguin) which came out July 23, 2019. I also cohost Lingthusiasm, a podcast that’s enthusiastic about linguistics, with Lauren Gawne of the blog Superlinguo. So you’re a linguist. How many languages do you know? I think you may be looking for why linguists hate being asked how many languages they know. You may also be interested in 8 myths about language and linguistics and the language learning episode of Lingthusiasm. Don’t you just hate it when people talk like…? Nope. May I suggest you check out my prescriptivism tag? Wow! You have a lot of posts. Where do I even start with your archives?
