TIL that the "My" in MySQL is not the English word my but the Swedish name My, for the daughter of #MySQL co-founder Michael Widenius. ♡

The name My was introduced by Tove Jansson for the #Moomins character Little My, who is named after the Greek letter mu.

So you could pronounce My as [ˈmyː] or as [maɪ].

Never mind how to pronounce SQL.

MySQL documentation defines the official #pronunciation as “My Ess Que Ell” but the devs in Swedish say "mü-ess-ku-ell".

German language capitalizes all nouns, sure. But why not go all the way in composite nouns, like ComicHeft or BundesDatenSchutzGesetz?

Have any linguists gained interesting insights on language as a result of studying #chatGPT? #linguistics


I made a video about my research for the Brain Week of the University of Amsterdam. The video was part of a series of talks shown to students that are considering following a bachelor program at the UvA.

My video is meant to be an example of how to do research on language and the brain.

I'm sharing the video , since I know there are a few linguists and people generally interested on science, the brain, and all that jazz...

Enjoy!

Next Thursday the 11th I will be presenting my research at the Grammar & Cognition meeting of the Radboud University.

In this page you can see a description of the event, plus the zoom link.

I thought I'd share in case there are any linguists, psychologist, or just people generally interested in science here on diaspora who would like to check it out.
