Die Österreicher empfinden ihr Hochdeutsch schöner, sympathischer und gebildeter als das Deutsche, welches deutlich arroganter empfunden wird. kurier.at/wissen/hochdeu…
Austrian-German word of the Week 55 is "Anrainer" - local resident. It's what Germans call "Anwohner". #AutWrdoWk. Here's the #ÖWB entry, with a slew of composites: oewb.at/oebv/oewb/star…
Österreichisches Hochdeutsch ist mir ein Anliegen. Immer wieder muss ich in D erklären, dass ich KEINEN Dialekt spreche, sondern ⬆️. Nun gibt es eine Umfrage der University of British Columbia. Macht bitte mit! Ich habe weniger als 9 Minuten gebraucht! tinyurl.com/Oesterreichisc…
Danke fürs mitmachen. Auch mir ist österreichisches Deutsch ein Anliegen.

Skookum! UBC-led Dictionary of Canadianisms gets new edition for Canada Day theprovince.com/news/dictionar…

Studie zu Spracheinstellungen zum Österreichischen Deutsch. Für alle, die in Österreich leben, gelebt haben oder einen Familienbezug (Auslandsösterreicher) haben. 8 Minuten, wir sammeln bis 30. September. Bitte den Link teilen: was denkt Österreich? Thx! ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eu…
In case you've missed it, read our conversation with Dr. Stefan Dollinger about his recent research as a historical sociolinguist. shorturl.at/mwNX8 Dr. Dollinger was awarded the UBC Killam Faculty Research Prize earlier. Congratulations!
Missing your CanE words of the week? Your AutG words of the week? Come on over to bsky.app/profile/canela…
Quadrifid describes something that is divided into four lobes, parts or segments. This often exists in nature. Think of a moth’s wings or a leaf with four perfect segments. Keep an eye out on your next hike for some quadrifid examples in nature! #CanadianEnglishDictionary
I'd like to draw your attention to "curry," the verb, in @verge. Very nice! Me likes the use! Creative and consistent to equal degree. Incisive. Only "pepper (v.)" seems to come close in meaning within the spice-noun-go-verbal cline.
I am proud.
Canadian Word of the Week is, strict speaking, not Canadian: "Canadian Thanksgiving" #CdnWrdoWk 135. Full story here: dchp.arts.ubc.ca/entries/Canadi…
