  1. In 1803, Johan Werfel published a grammar of Danish that was supposedly "for women". It was also both "practical and theoretical".

    I digitized the book for the @internetarchive and wrote something about the book for #Lingoblog [In Danish]. I'll try to summarize the most interesting points here! I was curious about what it meant that it was "for women" (besides a general interest in reading old grammar books) 🧵

  2. Patienter bruger skriftsproget på bestemte måder i e-konsultationer - muligvis for at kompensere for manglen på andre nonverbale udtryk, men i hvert fald for at udtrykke affekt, fx smerte

  3. It was the International Day of the Basque language some days ago, which #Lingoblog celebrated with this article: lingoblog.dk/en/basque-as-an-i

  4. Lingoblog writes about the South #Jutlandic dialect word "mutte", meaning "(to) kiss". It has a noun form in "mut" or "muttes". They don't consider if it has something to do with the Standard Danish "møs/mys" (also a childish word for a kiss, mainly on the cheek) 🤔

  5. For the EU elections, they're doing "Meet the Parties" on Danish television. This means they're doing "yes/no"-rounds again, where the politician is supposed to only answer yes or no. I wrote about this format earlier, and the interviewer work required, for the 2022 elections to the Danish parlament, which uses the same format (including an initial round of (dis)confirming statements): lingoblog.dk/en/forced-yes-or- #Lingoblog

  6. Apparently I had to learn from #Lingoblog that "Stromae" is a reversion of "maestro"... of course it seems obvious now!

  7. #Lingoblog has regained access to their #Instagram profile! It was hacked back in September right after being created, which prompted my entry on fake instagram profiles: lingoblog.dk/jeg-vil-elske-os-

  8. 2 months ago, Lingoblog opened an Instagram profile. Few weeks later, the account was taken over and filled with linguistically irrelevant pictures. 😞

    On this occasion, I've written something about my chatting with suspicious accounts on Instagram, for Lingoblog. 📘 My experience is that these conversations are somewhat different from "normal" ones! (In Danish, but thread below)

  9. I'm writing about some experiences with Instagram scam chatting. It's in Danish but should I translate it to English? #lingoblog #ca

  10. Today's #Lingoblog entry shows that one variety of Danish is more climate friendly than the standard

  11. Wikipedia lists Everything Everywhere All at Once as using both Mandarin and Cantonese. Is there a breakdown or analysis of the use of the two (and/or the codeswitching)? Can anyone write that #Lingoblog entry?

  12. Re-reading this #Lingoblog entry celebrating its 5-year-birthday, wondering how many readers are going to understand how this very positive text is actually a critique 🤔 If you know, you know...
