The annual United Kingdom Linguistics Olympiad (UKLO) is coming around - you can sign up as a volunteer marker until 2nd Nov, for marking 19th-30th Nov. I've been doing this since 2015 and it's normally quite fun (I like to have a go at the paper first)

A quick sequel to my last blog post in which I dissect the race, pace and also frontier metaphors a bit further before another news deluge.... #metaphor #AI #linguistics #scicomm makingsciencepublic.com/2026/09/23/p...

Ape-ricot or app-ricot? It's both. And I’m not sure how we got here.

A new article on #biomolecular #archaeology in #Baltic countries, by one of our associated researchers, Ester Oras. Worth reading! #humanpast #genetics #linguistics #InterdisciplinaryResearch shorturl.at/VJLFg

West African talking drums don’t use Morse code—they literally imitate human speech.
Because Yorùbá is a tonal language, drummers squeeze the tension cords of the dùndún drum to mimic the pitch contours and cadence of spoken Yorùbá.
It's drumming speech. 🥁🗣️
