I do not believe human-level AI (artificial superintelligence, or the commonest sense of #AGI) is close at hand. AI has made breakthroughs, but the claim of AGI by 2030 is as laughable as claims of AGI by 1980 are in retrospect. Look how similar the rhetoric was in @LIFE in 1970!

Speakers know much less about their language than their own linguistic brains — it’s one of the amazing facts about human language.

A weird part of chronic illness in COVID times is how understanding people suddenly are: more flexible deadlines; more patience on email replies; checking in on others’ well-being; allowing productivity to not be top priority. Why can’t academia be this accessible all the time?

Menswear guy seamlessly connecting fashion and linguistics: using formal syntax/semantics to explain formal attire!
Linguist Noam Chomsky is famous for the phrase "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously," which is an example of a sentence that is grammatically correct but makes no sense. For an outfit to work, it's not enough to think that blue pairs with green; you have to think of meaning.

@linguistMasoud Ah, thanks. =:-) Slides are available in LaTeX and also on youtube. I just stumbled over your post because I was checking something else. Usually I am not on X anymore, since it somehow turned into a troll network. I am at Mastodon nowadays. lingo.lol/@StefanMuelller
I'm teaching a syntax course that uses @StefanMuelller 's great book to review syntactic frameworks like minimalism, HPSG, CCG, LFG, TAG ... as assignment I'm thinking of diagramming the same 5-10 sentences each week in different frameworks. What sentences would you choose?
Linguistics is on the right side of the line. 🖖
Saying we shouldn't teach/learn programming because soon AI will allow coding with natural language prompts is kinda like saying we shouldn't teach math because we can use computers. Just a fundamentally wrong way of thinking about education
The bitter truth about academia: Your advisor is the decider of whether your experience is fun/bearable or absolutely awful. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. No one escapes a toxic advisor.
Told a reporter today that I don’t get alarmed by language change. It takes a lot to alarm me when it comes to that. I get alarmed by linguistic discrimination, English only movements, and other people’s resistance to language change

I think the terms "loanword" & "borrowing" has created a misunderstanding that languages owe each other something or the "borrowed" word does not really belong to the 2nd language when in reality languages "recreate" a roughly similar sounding word/construction within themselves
Happy New Year. Wishing you a year full of [your name] (2024) publications
