Another reason why understanding how #multilingualism and socio-economic opportunities are distributed across urban space. A lot of my research has been about exploring these aspects from a geographical perspective.

The link is in Finnish, but the title roughly says "Large-scale study: Linguistic competencies are linked to slowing down the aging of the brain."

Keeping my fingers crossed for positive funding decisions 🤞🎓🔎

If this is an accurate quote, it's an odd example of what linguists call "hypercorrection" from Mr. President. He senses that the subjunctive is being used here ("his name not be mentioned"), but he screws it up. #sociolinguistics #hypercorrection

Here's a clip of the #Welsh #language being mocked in the #horror #film The Old Dark House back in 1932: "Even Welsh ought not sound like that." It seems exceptional that #languageattitudes towards Welsh have remained as positive as they are (Lee 2016) despite the sort of long-lived casual overt stigmatization that this clip suggests.
