When interests collide...
Apr. 8th, 2007 03:09 pmI'm on a linguistics kick at the moment. I don't know how it happened, but in my wanderings around the internet I stumbled upon several fun linguistics blogs. I quite liked the linguistics side of my university education though to tell you the truth quite a bit of it went over my head and I don't remember much of it apart from joking about the tree-pruning shoes that my rather old-fashioned lecturer of Introduction to Linguistics used to wear.
The use of language in Buffy is a huge part of why I came to enjoy it. That's why the dubbed version never did anything much for me. So, I was very happy when I found the following link on languagelog: Glemphy will not be Word of the Year.
I don't think I'll try to incorporate glemphy into my vocabulary, but then watching Buffy has already changed the way I speak and write.
