rsbenedict asked: Regarding employment: you might send people with questions about finding work to the Linguist List's Jobs section to check out current listings and requirements. It looks like computational linguistics is in high demand right now. I would suggest not to chase a job in academia; the job market in academia is horrible right now, with full-time positions being replaced with crummy adjunct gigs.

Anonymous asked: Hi, I think I'm interested in studying Linguistics at university for reasons I'm too tired to go into - it is genuinely a very interesting field which I am passionate about - and I was wondering how realistic such an option is. I have no clue what I want to do with a degree in Linguistics: career-wise. I've always wanted to go into academic research, namely sociolinguistics,...

Anonymous asked: I've been reading your Tumblr from time to time and I really enjoy it. I'm a linguist, finishing my PhD in France, and I opened my own French blog about linguistics. I guess that I would have been an English/Linguistics major (you know, here, we study all aspects of a language before majoring in litt, civilization or linguistics. There are virtually *no* linguists, and most of them are...

The Wug Test Revisited -- A Research Project
I (Chris) completed a Senior Research Project this last year of high school. (If you didn’t know, I’m not in college or linguistics classes yet. I’ll be at New York University next year to eventually major in French and Linguistics.) Since I was allowed to choose my subject for this major project, I picked Dr. Jean Berko Gleason’s Wug Test and attempted to expand her...

eonneo asked: Hello there Linguist Llama~ As a person aspiring to be a linguist, I'm disappointed to say I don't have a copy of the IPA chart. Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know where I can find one online? Thanks!

Sorry for the lack of updates!
Hello everyone,
I realize I haven’t updated this blog much lately. Senior year of HS is taking up stupid amounts of time, and I haven’t gotten a chance to sit down and come up with any good memes. However, I’ll still review any submissions! :)
