My previous pinned #introductionpost post is quite old, so here's a new go ...

I teach #linguistics at the #UniversityOfAlberta. Professional interests include #AccessiblePedagogy, #Phonetics, #QuantitativeMethods (#statistics), #SpeechTechnology, #InternetLinguistics, #WritingSystems, and #EnglishSpellingReform

Outside of work, I like #ScottishCountryDancing, #Canoeing, and various nerdy pursuits such as #TTRPGs and #StarTrek. 🤓

On TikTok looks like the verb ✨starbuck✨ means "to protest the fuck out of" now.

#InternetLinguistics

Here's a new #introduction post to celebrate moving to this new server. (Previously @TimPhon)

I'm a #linguistics instructor at the University of Alberta. Academic interests include #phonetics, #quantitativeMethods (#statistics), and #speechTechnology. Working on #accessiblePedagogy in all my teaching. Hobby interests include #internetLinguistics, #spellingReform, and #ScottishCountryDancing. 🤓

Due server migration, I’m reposting my #introduction. 👋

I'm a PhD student in #sociolinguistics at the University of Tartu. My dissertation explores how #multilingualism manifests itself in #youthlanguage (on the example of 🇸🇪 🇪🇪 teens). 💬 My other interests include #internetlinguistics & #conlangs. I also work as a content creator, #language editor and an #Estonian teacher.

I'd love to connect with people doing #linguistics, #internetresearch, #sociology and #scicomm. 🤗

Time for my own #introduction 👋

Specifically, I'm looking at Swedish Estonian teenagers' interactions. My other interests include #internetlinguistics & #conlangs. I also work as a (freelance) content creator, language editor and a teacher of Estonian.

I'd love to connect with people doing #linguistics, #internetresearch, #sociology and #scicomm 🤗
