It’s savoury! A bit like a fancy Spanish omelette.
Look up Ottolenghi’s cauliflower cake recipe — it’s really good and easily adapted with ingredients you like.
The Department is hosting an African Linguistics Workshop featuring new research from staff and students. Special guest Prof Enoch Aboh (Uni of Amsterdam) joins the session following his Robert Le Page Lecture. 13 March at 09:30 in AEW/106.

And I was interested that the shop assistant just reached for the requested item, without an
eye roll, or an embedded correction.
it's rather like the restaurant where some friends and I were served [fəˈkeɪʃə] with our soup.
... spelling conventions, eh?
I go into the bread shop, and the woman after me says:
have you got any [ˌsaɪəˈbatə]?
What can you do with a degree in Language and Linguistics?

Are you a current MA/PhD student, or a recent PhD graduate? York's annual conference on Conversation Analysis is open for abstracts. Keynotes and workshops in CA skills by me and @ana-ostermann.bsky.social Ana Cristina Osterman.
I was in Finland at -30. Advice from friends there, which worked: mittens are better than gloves; use silk or wool liners; make sure nothing is tight.
thank goodness for prosodic features, including glottal stops, and the past tense of 'eat' as [ɛt].
Excellent overview of current theory, and hopefully interesting for colleagues in #CA. "it is not always clear how posited categories are realised in spontaneous speech... but existing studies suggest that caution is needed when we assert the generalizability of laboratory data."
My Nordic friends say always use mittens, not gloves, if it want warm hands.
Thank you for saying this. It’s exactly what I feel.
It's a sign of the times that the Journal of the IPA will no longer be published in print. It's a sign of my age that I will miss receiving the yellow and black volumes and lining them up with the issues I've collected since 1998. Browsing electronically isn't the same pleasure.
What excellent news! No one's life was better for not being able to take part in this scheme.
We are excited to have Professor Richard Ogden (@richardogden.bsky.social) as an invited speaker at #YorCCA2026! His research combines phonetics and CA to explore how phonetic detail shapes social action. His work deepens understanding of turn-taking, stance, and non-lexical vocalisations in talk.

YorkCCA is York's annual CA conference organised by PhD researchers at the University of York and affiliated with the Centre for Advanced Studies in Language and Communication @uoycaslc.bsky.social. Next year's conference is 17-18 July. The other invited speaker is me!
We have a CA pathway in our MA Applied Linguistics at York. Includes dedicated modules on CA, multimodality, and institutional interaction (taught by Merran Toerien). Applications open for 26-27.

La inter-acción en secuencia. Secuenciando. 2da temporada. 2025-2.
This year we launched an #EMCA study group in Peru 🇵🇪, mainly composed of undergraduate students, called Secuenciando.
As the year comes to an end, Secuenciando has officially wrapped up its second season — this time focused on sequence organization! (1/3)
😂
So that's why the module is so popular!!
Delighted that our module The Language of Turn and Sequence was renamed The Language of Turn and Sequins by Zoom's captioning system.
I survived my first teaching term in Oxford! To celebrate, I've made some updates to the praatpicture library! 🥂
Water fountain with the word water in several languages, the last one being Sámi, čáhci
Train map of northern Norway with some place names in both Norwegian and Sámi
A couple of signs in Trondheim. Good to see the inclusion of Sámi, something that can’t be taken for granted.
Haha! I’d never thought about that. To be fair to English spelling, it’s actually Latin spelling, and faithful to Latin morphology
Just one of many great sessions at Nordisco in Trondheim this week.
Gorgeous! I’m just glad to have survived the bumpiest landing ever. Even one of the cabin crew said she felt sick!

Words matter. Language matters. Languages matter.
@spencerhazel.bsky.social on how universities cut their language degrees, AND stress the importance of language, AND use language poorly and offensively in communicating their decisions ("marketing-infused slop").

See you there (wearing a head torch 😆)
