LingCommApr 14, 2025
That's a wrap for #LingComm25! And it was the biggest LingComm ever.
We'll be back next time for more panels, talks, how-tos, posters, and great chats with all the linguistic communicators.
Thanks to everyone who attended and made this conference such a success.

Apparently November 26th is National Linguistics Day in the UK because it's de Saussure's birthday?? Just found this out from @adamcschembri.bsky.social at #LingComm25 and the chat immediately goes wild World Linguistics Day, anyone??? #linguistics

"The way we try to figure out what the average person already knows about a word [before bringing it to an irl demo] is we run the keyword through google image search" Laura Wagner at #LingComm25

I'm attending the games session at the same time #LingComm25 since I've already written a pop linguistics book 😅 But here's my advice blogpost for anyone who wants my thoughts, and I also recommend @katemckean.bsky.social's upcoming book Write Through It

"One thing that we've found out in our impact surveys is that sometimes people find our enthusiasm for science/linguistics overwhelming and too much to handle at the time, which we'd never have known without surveys" (eep!) -Charlotte Vaughn @charlottevaughn.bsky.social #LingComm25
