Announcing the Linguistic Zine Challenge! Make or share a linguistics zine and tell us about it by the end of November, and you could win prizes! (oooh, prizes~~) Thread, or here's a link for the blog fans: lingthusiasm.com/post/8299478...
Post
One way to enter is to share an existing linguistics-y zine! - Give 'em out at picnics, conferences - Take-a-zine folder in a busy corridor - Pop a zine in the mail - Colour-in zines with a linguistics club - Add to a free zine shelf or little free library Or something else! Some zines to print:
Another way to enter is to make your own linguistics-y zine! - Your personal language experience - Something you've learned about linguistics from us, from a Wikipedia rabbit hole, from other lingcomm creators... We suggest this format if you're new to zines! lingthusiasm.com/post/8287575...
Either way, tell us about your zine-making and/or zine-sharing experience in this lil webform We're planning a special bonus Lingthusiasm episode with your stories, and hopefully some new zines up on the website as well! And yes, you can enter both ways! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
