Subject: Linguistics at the UN!


Language and Communication is on the Geneva Science and Diplomacy
Anticipator (GESDA) science breakthrough radar
(https://www.gesda.global/) for the first time this year! That means
we as a field have a chance to tell the world what exciting
discoveries linguistics has made, and where the field is headed. I
will present a report on this at the UN in September, and GESDA has
commissioned a survey to accompany the report. Language evolution, AI,
empirical method in linguistics, and multilingualism are the four core
topics. Make your views known on how likely breakthroughs are in these
areas, and how soon they might happen by taking part is GESDA's
Language and Communication breakthrough survey:
