25.01.2022 [Updated to reflect Farzad's class- ATS3779] Hi everyone. I wanted to get in touch with a quick update on the Linguistics and English Language program for semester 1 2020. All tutorials this week have been cancelled. From next week, all content will move online. The exact format of delivery will vary from unit-to-unit. Please keep an eye on your Moodle site and your email for further details from your lecturer. ... This week the on-campus lecture/seminar for the following units will go ahead: ATS1338 and ATS2679. You are welcome to attend. However, the content will be recorded, so you are under no obligation or expectation to do so. All other units with scheduled on-campus seminars/lectures will deliver the content online--not on-campus Please don't hesitate to get in touch with your lecturers for further clarification about individual units, me about undergraduate matters and Brook Bolander about postgraduate matters. Stay well and safe! Howie Manns

19.01.2022 English pronouns used to indicate social hierarchies (like Korean does now, for example): you'd use a plural pronoun for your 'superiors' and a singular pronoun for your equals and 'inferiors' (mostly). In the 1600s, though, the Quakers showed their rejection of these social hierarchies by deliberately addressing everyone with the singular 'thee' or 'thou'. People were outraged. Dr. Teresa M. Bejan writes here about the Quakers, their pronouns, and what all of this might tell us about singular 'they'.

16.01.2022 Hi everyone. Just a quick message to say that I hope you're all well, and settling into your units. I understand you've been getting a lot of emails, and there have been a couple of zigs and zags during this semester. If you are at all unclear about the structure, delivery or assessments in your units, please get in touch with the unit coordinator and/or me ([email protected]), and we'll get you sorted out asap. ... Stay well and safe, Howie P.S. I understand pets are a common theme in zoom sessions, so allow me to introduce you to my zoom-mate Henny Penny (named by my youngest). I look forward to meeting yours
