Ivana Durovic replied to the topic Form and meaning, surface and substance

Perhaps I shouldn’t be allowed to blog because I seem to hijack every opportunity in order to talk about whatever I want, and not necessarily always right in the bull’s eye of the topic of the day. Makes me look like a politician who is evading a question at a press conference. Although digressing in class is much less dangerous than doing it in…[Read more]

Ivana Durovic started the topic Form and meaning, surface and substance

Today’s topic is of particular importance to me at this point in my budding career as a linguist, as I try to locate my place in the field. With everything I do, I try to keep the bigger picture in mind as much as possible and therefore sometimes I am in danger of wandering away from the main topic. However, today, more than usually, I think a…[Read more]

Dear Cece and class,

We all woke up into a nightmare on Wednesday, and, although terrified, I was comforted by your post, as well as by all the subsequent responses. It gave me a feeling of belonging and an immediate outlet for my emotions. I imagine that we may be scared for different reasons, as we not only share our experience in New York but…[Read more]

Thank you for the words and support, Cece.

Checking the news, I read that someone has created a thread in Twitter titled “Day 1 in Trump’s America”. Warning: It’s scary af.

Reem Kanjawi-Faraj replied to the topic Syrian Americans' reactions to presidential election results

Now this one could have a sexist reading to it.

The caption is again in Syrian and it reads:

“at the end, a woman has nobody but her children and no place but her home. signed by Hillary.”

Which of course indicates that the right place for a woman is her home with her husband and kids and not at work.

When an Arab sees this picture, s/he…[Read more]

Milton Läufer replied to the topic estoy horrorizada!

I just want to say that I share the shock with all of you.

Also, after watching the reactions of American friends, I do feel there is something worth mentioning. One of the things they said was they couldn’t believe that half of their fellow Americans were racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc.

First of all, I think there is a confusion here: only…[Read more]

Rocio Carranza Brito replied to the topic estoy horrorizada!

I have to say I just cannot believe this result. Trump, @POTUS?

Yesterday I watched all tv programs about elections. My roommate has been talking about this election since I moved in, last September. He was trusting that Hillary wins, but yesterday, I felt his disappointment, and mine too. This remembered myself that July nights in 2006 and 2012…[Read more]
