LINGUISTICS


While I was in college for software dev, I was listening to a lot of Rammstein and learning German on the side. I was quite enthusiastic about it, probably more than my actual coursework. I realized I didn't actually enjoy programming so much as I enjoyed piecing together the aspects of a language. That realization kickstarted a language learning journey (which still continues to this day!) but I had no idea what was coming for me next. I don't exactly remember how I discovered it, but not long after leaving college I found out about the field of linguistics. Pretty much as soon as I started reading about what linguistics was, I knew that is what I wanted to do with my life.

I completed my BSc a few years ago and I am now waiting until my mental health improves enough that I can pursue my MSc in Linguistics. It could be difficult to put so much information on an academic subject online, especially a blog type site, so I'll keep it short. My main areas of interest include sociolinguistics and phonology.

Syntax can get fucked!
