Friends, colleagues, peers, assorted strangers...<br>
<br>
What did you do with your weekend? I see, I see... Well, personally, I spent my<br>
weekend re-reading every strip of my favourite webcomic, <a href="http://xkcd.com" target="_blank">xkcd.com</a>, and picking out<br>
all the ones that relate to linguistics! And so I present to you the list I have<br>
amassed, for your delectation, and possible integration into lectures:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/37/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/37/</a> (syntax!)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/84/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/84/</a> (national language ideology, US specifically)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/114/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/114/</a> (with apologies to computational linguists!)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/145/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/145/</a> (standard language ideologies)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/148/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/148/</a> (ditto)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/166/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/166/</a> (language change)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/174/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/174/</a> (grammar)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/243/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/243/</a> (sociolinguistic interviews / formality)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/326/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/326/</a> (grammar / standard language ideologies)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/451/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/451/</a> (linguistics generally, but especially useful for me in Finland!)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/529/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/529/</a> (language acquisition)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/739/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/739/</a> (linguistic innovations?)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/762/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/762/</a> (rhetoric)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/771/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/771/</a> (language change / historical linguistics)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/798/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/798/</a> (corpus linguistics, NSFW)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/1007/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/1007/</a> (corpus linguistics, SFW)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/1010/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/1010/</a> (etymology)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com/1108/" target="_blank">http://xkcd.com/1108/</a> (semantics / language change / standard language ideologies --<br>
particularly topical given the recent silly-season broohaha over 'literally', e.g.<br>
<a href="http://goo.gl/zi1O9y" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/zi1O9y</a>)<br>
<br>
Also note: every xkcd strip comes with an extra caption which appears when you hover<br>
the mouse over it. That doesn't really copy into Powerpoint so well, but they work<br>
just fine without.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://xkcd.com" target="_blank">xkcd.com</a> has a new strip every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; they're generally very<br>
good regardless of relevance to linguistics, but sometimes there's some excellent<br>
lecture material. I'd strongly recommend adding it to your information diet.<br>
<br>
Ok that's everything. You. Are. Welcome. ^_^<br>
