    Can some #nativespeaker please explain us who are "32-bit gigachad" and "64-bit terachad"? 😅😅😅😅

  2. Versteht das jemand?

    Was soll das da auf dem #TShirt bedeuten? Schlaue #Nativespeaker hier?

    Ich steh' auf dem Schlauch.

  3. When you are #nativeSpeaker in different languages, you become different persons in different languages.

  4. Ist es mir erst gerade aufgefallen oder habe ich es all die Jahre missverstanden? Gibt es ein Ambiguität bei der englischen Phrase: "we never stop to ask ourselves ..."?
    Also kann sie beides meinen: Wir fragen uns ständig (ohne Stop) etwas UND wir halten nie inne (nehmen uns nie die Zeit) um uns etwas zu fragen? Oder ist eines von beiden Quatsch?

  5. Is it
    a) "No #backup, no #sympathy"
    or
    b) "No backup, no #pity"?

    a) returns about twice as many search results. I'm not a #NativeSpeaker, so I'd like to hear from those who are.

  6. There seems to be a well-intentioned push to get rid of the notion of the #nativespeaker in #linguistics from some quarters, which in some contexts probably makes sense.

    But as long as the criticial period is still a thing, it's not going to work for many linguistic thing that closely touch on the neuro-cognitive or linguistic competence, such as syntactic acceptability judgments etc.

  7. "...native speaker would not be a proper category for linguistics precisely because it is more political than scientifically accurate. Politicizing the term would then be a way of lessening its scientific relevance by emphasizing its ideological dimension: native speaker would primarily be an ideology of the nation-state."
