allthingslinguistic: lingthusiasm: Lingthusiasm merch! IPA scarves, descriptivist t-shirts, and Lingthusiasm logo stickers Lingthusiasm the podcast transforms your boring commute or chores into a lively, nerdy conversation, and by popular demand, you can now wear your linguistics fandom on your sleeve, around your neck, and surrounding your coffee or books! Lingthusiasm merch on RedBubble We’ve decided to use RedBubble for a couple of reasons. They ship to a broad range of countries for a reasonable price, which was very important us as an Australian and a Canadian who are used to getting dinged on shipping, and since we know we have listeners all over the world. We’re also excited about the scarves and the zippered pouches to put your pens and cables in, which are a cool addition to your typical t-shirts and mugs (but don’t worry, we still have t-shirts and mugs if you like them!). Lingthusiasm merch also helps us keep the show running and makes a great gift for the linguistics enthusiast in your life. We have three designs, available in various colours and on various items: IPA Scarves Stylish enough to wear to conferences, subtle enough to wear to the grocery store, and sure to amaze and delight your colleagues when they realize this isn’t your typical alphabet motif, this IPA scarf wraps you in a soft, vibrant hug of stealth nerdery. Hang out with all your favourite characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet (2015 edition) in white text on a navy blue, red, or olive background. Symbols are arranged artistically, rather than by meaning, so it’s safe to wear in an exam room. But if you can come up with any inadvertent natural classes no one else has spotted yet, let us know and we’ll send you a sticker! This semi-translucent scarf doubles as simply a large square of fabric, and can be repurposed as a nerdy patterned wall hanging, curtain, or tablecloth for your office. Or cut it up and resew it into whatever your imagination desires! (Pocket squares?) Not judging your grammar, just analysing it Some things, you explain so often, that you might as well just carry them around. Now you can! Push back against language peevery, promote the idea that language can be analyzed scientifically, and amuse the heck out of your fellow linguists.  Available as a mug, tote bag, zippered pouch, two notebooks, and on various colours of t-shirt (classic, fitted, and relaxed cuts).  Lingthusiasm Logo Bring your podcast listening off your phone and into the world, show off your Lingthusiasm support, and spot other Lingthusiasm listeners in the wild with these Lingthusiasm logo items.  Available in Lingthusiasm bright green on white, as two stickers, mug, tote bag, zippered pouch, notebook, and t-shirt (classic, fitted, and relaxed cuts).  Want a colour or item we don’t have? We’re also introducing a new Patreon perk for all patrons! If you like the looks of something in the store but want it in a different colour or on a different object, we’ll make a custom version for you at no extra charge! Want a scarf in purple instead of navy, red, or olive? Want the NOT JUDGING text on a tank top instead of a t-shirt? Now you can! (Subject to what’s possible on Redbubble.) More details on the Lingthusiasm Patreon: www.patreon.com/lingthusiasm We’re already enjoying our own soft scarves and shiny stickers (had to test ‘em out, naturally!) and we’re so excited to see your photos and hear your stories about how you’re bringing Lingthusiasm items into your life!  Check out the Lingthusiasm merch shop on RedBubble. I am really excited about both the IPA scarves and the NOT JUDGING YOUR GRAMMAR, JUST ANALYSING IT items. First of all, there’s a lot of grammar snob, prescriptivist merch out there and not much for the other side. Why should “I’m silently judging your grammar” or “there, they’re, their” still be the main things that come up when you search for linguistics tshirts and mugs? Linguists don’t believe this! We need to make descriptivism cool and fashionable instead!  Second of all, while clever linguistics tshirts are great, I don’t really wear tshirts with writing on them at conferences and other formal situations. But conferences have a peak density of linguists to admire your clever linguistics clothing! What’s a dressed-up-nerd supposed to do? A few months ago, I discovered customizable scarves, and I began to dream. What if…I put IPA symbols on it, small enough that you could wear it to the grocery store, but totally amazing for people who get it? Originally, I was just going to make myself a scarf. But then I mentioned it to Lauren, and she wanted one. Maybe even two, in different colours, to match your conference-wear on both days. We figured, well, if we were both so excited about getting to wear IPA scarves, then maybe other people would be too, especially since the ALS and LSA meetings are both coming up.  Turns out scarves have great features as merch items! They’re sublimation printed, which means they’re really soft and have no textured layer of silkscreen. They’re also one size fits all, and light/unbreakable (i.e. easy to ship!). We’re really excited to share the NOT JUDGING YOUR GRAMMAR, JUST ANALYSING IT items and the IPA scarves with you, give you another way to support the show, and help your non-linguist friends and relatives with better gift ideas for you. Please do tag @lingthusiasm if you have any pictures or stories to share about wearing, sharing, or creatively repurposing the merch!  I love the NOT JUDGING YOUR GRAMMAR, JUST ANALYSING IT idea, and I’m gonna have to figure out which of those items to get.I also like that it has a comma splice! -- source link
