#ling problems

Welcome to Linguistics, none of the sounds you produce are the sounds you think you’re producing, and we also don’t know what a word actually is.

Remember the class where I discussed the versatility of fuck and because x? Today she brought Reese's Oreos for the whole class, because research.

I am actually, truly and honestly sitting in an upper division collegiate course having a class discussion about an article titled, "English Has a New Preposition, Because Internet" and I fucking kid you not- we are discussing the grammatical value of the use of "because X" and other grammar styles o Tumblr.

the d in these greek words clearly used to be from consonant clusters but it's not any more and it's driving me crazy i can't find out what it was

i have the yucatec maya word for "lord" stuck in my head

why do consonants consider frontness/backness of vowels :(
