Why is this linguist #talmbout Twitter?

A case study on Twitter dialect. Plus, a video profile of the UMass linguist.

The lickety-split spread of the phrase stay woke is just one linguistic development you can clearly track via Twitter, says Lisa Green ’93, professor of linguistics at UMass Amherst.

The term originated in black social media and took off with the Black Lives Matter movement to mean “be socially conscious or be aware of what goes on in the community.”

“Stay woke is now used when someone makes an astute comment about just about anything,” says Green, the founding director of the campus’s Center for the Study of African American Language.

“Twitter gives us real, live data about the way people actually talk,” she says. “It’s exciting for linguists because we know all languages change, but now we can actually see change in progress and map it geographically.”

not ppl complaining that annabeth is a "mary sue" and wHy iS eVErYthInG aBOuT hEr because [checks notes] the show directly adapted some of her most significant relationships from the books except now the audience gets to SEE them objectively instead of mostly just being told about them as filtered entirely through percy's limited pov

"everything's" about annabeth bcs annabeth is, as per the established narrative, an incredibly central character

like just say you hate black girls and go atp

this morning i am thinking about how it is extremely funny to me and only ever gets funnier that the position of Impartial Third-Party Overseer of qifrey's atelier is filled by olruggio

you know, that guy famously known to be qifrey's lifelong best friend/codependent situationship

and everyone's just like

"yeah, sure. checks out."

as qifrey and his apprentices* do one million crimes a week and not a single report is ever filed unless the feds happen upon it themselves lol lol lmao

*olruggio also takes a hand in their care and feeding and instruction and their uniforms are styled with mixed elements from his and qifrey's and they call him master olly but shhhhhh He Is Not Their Master, Legally Speaking, Okay
