Status Updates From Algospeak: How Social Media...

A bit hitting the nail on the head so far. Feels a little un researched in terms of looking at words coming from different sub cultures vs assuming they came from tik tok because they are funny. For example pg 49, “since the jokes were funny, the meme templates spread, and the meaning of function changed.” Function is used widely across non-Euro subgroups in the US & abroad for parties and this is where it began

I’ve wanted to learn a little more about linguistics for a while and I rly like this tik toker!

this book frustrates me.
