Just a random linguistic fact for yall but Noam Chomsky told me has no idea what the Kiki Bouba Effect is and honestly it crushed my dreams.

tfw u made a pun based on phonemes/morphemes but people interpreted it wrongly from its eventual spelling

Sad story time

Ok so I was reading a post that made me remember my dream last night that I was finally able to do an alveolar trill and a dental trill and I was so happy and now that I’ve remembered that I’m sad because I still can’t do it.

"slowly drowning in sentence trees" should be an emotion on Facebook for linguistics majors

[fairytales-and-fandoms]

Wasn't paying attention to the sermon b/c our pastor's on vacation

me: *daydreaming, imagining telling people about diff kinds of trills and how they sound*

me: *remembering how still can't do alveolar trill*

brain: YOU CANNOT PRACTICE AN ALVEOLAR TRILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SERMON

me: oh. right.

Vulcan language question:

Does anyone know how to nominalize in Vulcan???

The worst part about Vulcan dictionaries is that they’re just dictionaries and don’t help with grammar. D:
