20% #lsa2016 discount? Woot! @natschilling
Having an impromptu tweetup with @grvsmth and @bgzimmer in the Starbucks line! #LSA2016
.@NemaVeze: we aren't answering ppls questions. It's not about systematicity, it's about ideology. #LSA2016
.@NemaVeze: my takeaway is that being high status means you don't have to make an effort to understand. #LSA2016
Q&a lawyer says that daily copy of transcripts is very expensive and this is part of the transcript availability problem. #LSA2016
Aaaand I (my phone) will be dying soon .... #LSA2016
Zoom 3: this situation happens for all stigmatized speakers / varieties #LSA2016
JRR: We need to get off our linguistic asses, or rather our linguistic-ass butts, and get out there and make a difference. #LSA2016
#LSA2016 Non AAVE-speakers don't realize when they don't understand! This is why lg diversity instruction matters (Drs jurors teachers etc)
Zoom out: Speaking AAE exacerbates existing prejudices reinforced by media and society #LSA2016
Zoom 1: injustice for Trayvon and Jeantel. @jrickford #lsa2016
Labov and @jsw33ts show AAVE speaking students get significant gains in reading/writing when structure of AA varieties taught. #LSA2016
Intelligibility and evaluation of lg. is shaped by listeners attitudes to speakers--many examples. @jrickford #lsa2016
#LSA2016 @jrickford no AAE speakers on the jury. Not just the Trayvon Martin case, but regularly.
Jurors didn't have access to the transcript. Could request playback but did not. #LSA2016 @jrickford
JRR: "I'd move to Miami right now to study this (AAE+Carribean patterns) but I have grandchildren and would like to stay married." #LSA2016
Clear that Jeantel's variation is systematic (duh) shows AAE w/ Carribean influences @jrickford #LSA2016
White jurors checked out after Jeantel quoted Trayvon calling Zimmerman a "creepy-ass cracker" #LSA2016 @jrickford
Jeantel has many classic AAVE tense and aspect features e.g. BIN. #LSA2016 @jrickford
Important to remember, as @phd_wanna_be just pointed out, that Jeantel is as close as get to hearing from Trayvon himself #LSA2016
AAs are SIX TIMES more likely to be imprisoned than white Americans. #LSA2016
Jamaican Creole testimony mistranscribed "mi drop a grong" [I dropped to the ground] as "I dropped the gun." @jrickford #LSA2016
.@jrickford showing other attempts to impeach--Aboriginal witness who says "half moon" to mean "crescent." #LSA2016
Attorneys tried to impeach Jeantel--relying on jurors finding her hard to understand. @jrickford (also work by @phd_wanna_be) #LSA2016
In many ways, Trayvon Martin was the catalyst for #blacklivesmatter #LSA2016
.@jrickford breaking with tradition of presidential talks: Not theory. Application. #LSA2016
#LSA2016 @jrickford breaks with LSA tradition by highlighting an applied topic. This is responsible research in action!
Awesome in the original sense of inspiring awe how jam-packed we are for @jrickford's talk. #LSA2016
#LSA2016 excited for @jrickford presidential address - linguists as social justice advocates: inspiring!!
