A Decade of All Things Linguistic

When I started All Things Linguistic ten years ago, it felt a way of finally joining the linguistics blogosphere conversation that I’d been reading for the previous ten years or so. I didn’t expect that it would lead to me meeting and sometimes even collaborating with so many interesting people along the way, not to mention developing a whole career out of lingcomm.

I’m now better known for many of these non-blog projects, especially Because Internet and Lingthusiasm, but for me, this blog is always where it began. So, here’s a few highlights from the past decade:

Linguistics-y series

I did a lot of these more in-depth linguistics-y series and posts in the early years of the blog, before I started writing for other places as well. To browse a longer list of them, see my favourites page.

I relistened to the entire BBC radio comedy series Cabin Pressure and found amusing linguistics content in every single episode
So you asked the internet how to draw syntax trees. Here’s why you’re confused.
Linguist humour (currently at 44 pages!)
Language on the interwebz (35 pages!)
