Most Read This Week In Linguistics

[close] Starting January each yera, we’ll tackle one book per month covering a topic related to language and share our experiences as a linkup. Please feel free to join us. As part of the challenge, the books cover everything from culture, language learning, general learning techniques, history, and we’ll be reading both in our native languages and target languages. If you’re at a more advanced level in your target language, feel free to read any or all of the books (not just the ones indicated as target language only) in the language that you’re learning. If you’re still just getting started, that’s okay, too! You can read along in your native language, discovering more about the cultures and histories tied to the language(s) that you’re learning, opting for lower level or graded readers for books in your target language. Please note that you don’t have to pick just one language for this challenge. If you’re learning multiple languages, feel free to mix and match. The challenge is pretty flexible, we’ve planned it this way so you can get the most learning possible out of it over this next year.

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] My book is about how English came to have apparently irregular features - if houses, why not mouses? If he drives, why not he cans? Why does one sound like it starts with a w? In this group, ask me something about language, linguistics, and likewise.
