What if we used specific first- and second-person pronouns for non-conscious entities? I think this might help avoid #confusion and #cognitiveload when interacting with #bots, etc. Any #linguists or #conlangers here who have seen attempted solutions to this problem (or who have a good idea of how it might be solved)?

Is it true that "Lava" derives from "la vos" (not necessarily written that way but spoken) meaning "big fire"?
Language is just a collection of people making silly jokes and that joke stopping to be a joke isn't it?

This week's #WeeklyTshirt is in honor of #lexicographers and #linguists who introduced me to "Descriptive not Prescriptive." Meaning #linguistics is not an impartial referee of correctness, but a description of language by real people at a certain time. https://danielsolis.threadless.com/designs/descriptive-not-prescriptive

Just created an international linguistics starter package. Includes linguists (all languages) and (English-speaking) linguistic institutions on Mastodon.
If you speak German you might also want to follow the package "Linguistik-Institutionen im DACH-Raum"
In case you are not yet included and would like to be added, let me know! (There are some accounts who commented, that I couldn't add because of their account settings)

Hey masto #linguists: any idea why I can remember all the lyrics to a German song that I've been listening to a bit lately (my German is VERY rusty), but I get lost trying to remember the lyrics to songs in English and Swedish?
Swedish is my first language, and English is my second. I consider myself close to native-speaker level in both.
Wondering if there's some weird brain-link here that I can tap in to for getting better at remembering things.

#TIL that ἀδελφός isn't the only Ancient Greek word for "brother."
There was also
βρά.
So when Kids These Days call you "brah," just assume they've been keeping up on their #AncientGreek

Do #linguists note the word "Boycott" as an interesting curiosity in how we didn't have a word for this concept, then your man Boycott comes along and the word got sucked into not just English, but also every other language. Almost as if the thing couldn't exist properly without the word first being invented.
Are there other examples of words being invented and being so aggressively adopted into many other languages? "Orange" maybe?
