Summary from UWElingo blog post:

In this video, Dan Everett is doing a ‘monolingual fieldwork presentation’, something quite impressive: he works with a speaker of a language that he doesn’t know (and which was chosen in secret by others, so he couldn’t prepare for this). Dan is showing that without having a language in common, it is still possible to do Linguistic Fieldwork. In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use.

This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork.

After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works). Also, it is revealed that the language is [REDACTED]!

Prepositions are hard, and these are the ones that confuse me the most:

• It seems (...) [to / for] me
• It looks like (...) [to / for] me
• It feels (...) [to / for] me
• It sounds like (...) [to / for] me
• (...) makes more sense [to / for] me

Questions:

• Are both valid?
  • If both are valid; is there any nuance as to which to use?
  • If they aren't: is there a general rule or is it a case-by-case (as it usually is with prepositions)?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm focusing on generating content for a few communities that I feel can be successful and have less content than I expected:

• !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee: a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70's and 80's (more info)
• !awwnverts@lemmy.world: cute invertebrates
• !weirdwheels@lemmy.world: weird vehicles (with wheels)
• !comicstrips@lemmy.world: self-explanatory

EDIT: I did not create any of those communities

I would encourage anyone to participate if you like those topics.

Do you know any other niche-but-not-too-niche communities in which we could focus efforts?
Please, don't post very long lists, I'm already subscribed to almost 300 communities and the idea is to focus on a few ones.

Thanks!

EDIT: Added descriptions for each community.

The Hackamajig is a device that allows Colt to hack turrets, sensors, security shutters or even unlock doors
It's a first person asset used by the player throughout the game
The hackamajig is made out of two parts, a walkie-talkie and a homemade hacking thingy attached to it
Walkie-talkie part was done in placeholder state by an outsourcer before I worked on it

From the video description:

Philosopher David Chalmers and neuroscientist Christof Koch made a bet in 1998 on a breakthrough in consciousness research within 25 years. Now the bet is settled – thanks to the journalist Per Snaprud, neuroscience editor at the Swedish popular science magazine Forskning & Framsteg. Here's a conversation that was held between the three at New York university on June 24:th 2023.
