spreading linguistic misinformation

Today's xkcd is timely...





...considering that Cambridge Linguistics Extra (at Linguist List) yesterday published a blogpost by me on linguistic misinformation. Click through for more...

The post is a promotion for my series in the journal English Today. So far, half of the series has been published--an article on the cognitive biases that colo(u)r our view of other Englishes and one on whether it makes sense to speak of 'British' or 'American' English. The series has allowed me to practi{c/s}e expressing ideas for the book I'm writing.

Book week: English - meaning and culture

Image
(For more about Book Week, see the first post of the week .) Free book 5:  English: meaning and culture I do believe that this was the first book I ever received as a blogger. Yes, it is 10 years old. Yes, I am only just writing about it. Yes, I am contrite. What's kept me from writing about it is that I haven't read it cover to cover. This is very common with me and academic books. I get a sense of the argument, a sense of the contents and then I know where to go when I need more specifics on that kind of content. When I read books for review in academic journals, I do read cover-to-cover (except for reference books, for which I set up a sampling scheme). What's got(ten) Book Week going is that I've relieved myself of the duties of print book reviews. I am freeing myself to say things about books that I'm reasonably familiar with. English: meaning and culture is by the mind-bogglingly productive Anna Wierzbicka , and like most of her books it uses elements of he...

thank you very/so much

Image
Last week at Corpus Linguistics 2017 , Rachele De Felice and I presented our research on thanking in US and UK corporate emails. We'll be writing that up for publication in the coming months. In the meantime, here's a tiny aspect of what we found, supplemented by some further thoughts. Our main question was about the relationship between please and thank* (that * is a wildcard, so thank* stands for thanks and thank you ). Brits use please much more than Americans; Americans use thank* much more than Brits—both in our email research and in others' research on spoken language. So a big part of what we're looking at is whether thanks in American does some of the work that please does in Britain. (Short answer: it seems so. For my past posts on please , please see/comment-at this post and this one .) That's what our published paper will be about. But while we were in that data, we also looked at other aspects of thanking, including how it's intensified—e.g. th...

roast(ed)

 I have a note above my desk that says "Next blog post: roast(ed)". It's been there for three years, since Melissa L wrote to say: Dear Lynne, I teach English in Germany and enjoy your blog. I am a native speaker of American English. Most of my teaching material uses British English. I spend a lot of time thinking about and paying attention to the differences between AmE and BrE (though maybe not as much as you). Anyway, in an exercise about dishes on the holiday table, there was roast turkey and roast potatoes. I would say roasted potatoes.   Roasted is an adjective made out of the participial form of a verb . We make such modifiers all the time—as we say in linguistics, it's a productive morphological process . You could have a written resignation letter, a fried dumpling , a worn path. So, roasted vegetables or roasted turkey don't need much explanation: we're just using the tools that English gives us. The question more is: what's going on w...
