Preoccupations in linguistics and other issues

This blog will contain occasional short posts, which may be political, topical, self-promoting (rarely) or simply something I thought about on my morning run. All of them will be about language. Until now… and I’m using the website for my personal challenges during cancer treatment! I will also comment on the language I encounter in that process.
