I sent them my CV and they said it's too short. I guess they expected a CVV.

There's been lots of discussion on generative linguistics and generative AI. @EvaPortelance and I chime in here, suggesting that Neural Language Models (NLMs) reinforce key tenets of Chomsky’s approach in at least 3 fundamental ways, and that in turn, generative linguistics can

I think it's pretty cool that Persian, Arabic, and English (the only three written languages most Iranians ever deal with) agree on /-i/ being a suffix for making adjectives out of nouns.

I was reading a linguistics paper, I saw the phrase "following much recent work", and suddenly its oddness struck me. I realized I might have never seen it outside of Ling papers. So I searched, and yes, most of the results are from Linguistics papers!

In which I argue that word order and stress are related, and that's why the elements that tend to come last in English (e.g. objects, manner adverbs) happen to receive sentential stress in left-branching languages (e.g. Turkish, Persian). glossa-journal.org/article/id/115…

An aid worker helped refugees fleeing ISIS in Syrian Kurdistan, she's now on the verge of execution in Iran. The death sentence for #PakhshanAzizi is confirmed by Supreme Court, and enforcement office is notified. Humiliated abroad, the Islamist regime terrorises its own peoples.

Is "ter-temiz" Turkish-style reduplication (like "simsiyah" and "sapsarı") or is it simply Persian "tar" plus "tamiz"? Persian speakers seem to have analyzed is as the latter (since they usually say "tar o tamiz"), but this Turkish reference grammar book says it's the former.

Every neuron in your brain (every cell in your body!) has the potential for universal computation. @theHessam describes why that's important, and one way RNA, and it's secondary structure, could have evolved that ability using combinatory logic. braininspired.co/podcast/199/

Linguists often portray their differences as deep disagreements on the nature of scientific inquiry and dismiss rival theories as philosophically flawed. But I feel it usually boils down to specific disagreements re/ which counterexamples we suspect can someday be explained away.

As a Uyghur lawyer, the cruelty of oppressive regimes is not foreign to me. But over the years, I witnessed how cruel the Iranian regime can get. Kinoosh Sanjari, who’s been imprisoned & tortured for two decades time, took his own life in protest against the regime’s detainment…
