Considered by many to be the most common sound in English, the schwa is a rarely noticed but always present vowel, and it's absolutely essential for the English language to sound the way it does.

Some sentences can be grammatically correct but still meaningless. 

Take Chomsky's example: ‘Colourless green ideas sleep furiously’

Grammatically flawless, but it doesn't make sense.

Dictionary of the Oldest Written Language–It Took 90 Years to Complete, and It’s Now Free Online
It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.

A new article by Alessandra Baldo suggests that when advanced learners get stuck, they often build target-like words using patterns from their native language—pointing teachers toward feedback on recurring repair strategies rather than isolated mistakes. doi.org/10.25189/267...
The image is a clean, minimalist text card on a light beige background. At the top, in small uppercase letters, it reads: “READ IN CADERNOS DE LINGUÍSTICA,” separated by thin horizontal lines above and below. Centered in large, dark text is the question: “What should teachers do when an L2 learner makes up a word?” Below, a paragraph explains the idea. One phrase, “lexical gap,” is visually highlighted with a soft pink background. The full text says that instead of treating the invented word as a random error, teachers can see it as an attempt to bridge a lexical gap, and turn this into a teaching strategy by working with cross-language lookalikes, productive affixes, and word building in context, so learners make more reliable writing choices. In the bottom-left corner, there is a small decorative icon made of short radiating lines, resembling a subtle sunburst or signal mark.

Two people in a sentence, one “he” later. André Luiz da Silva and Jan Edson Rodrigues Leite show conjunctions can tilt the guess: “but” tends to favor the nearer name, “therefore/so” the earlier one, and conclusive links get faster average responses. #langsky #linguistics doi.org/10.25189/267...
A vertically oriented academic poster on a light beige background. At the very top, a thin horizontal line separates a small header that reads: “NEW ARTICLE | RESEARCH REPORT”. Below it, in large dark gray text, the title fills most of the page: “Cognition and Reading Comprehension: an Analysis on the Influence of Logical Information of Conjunctions for the Resolution of Pronominal Anaphora”. Under the title, two author entries are listed, each preceded by a small pale yellow circular bullet: First: “ANDRÉ LUIZ DA SILVA”, followed by “Universidade Federal da Paraíba”. Second: “JAN EDSON RODRIGUES LEITE”, followed by “Universidade Federal da Paraíba”. The layout is clean and minimalist, with generous white space and no images or charts. In the bottom left corner, there is a small abstract graphic resembling short radiating lines, like a subtle logo or decorative mark.

wizard cat has a very important message
a poorly drawn wizard cat, wearing a pointed hat and holding a wand, floating diagonally the wizard cat raises its wand as a magical burst begins to appear behind it, what could it be? a magical cloud fills most of the frame, containing handwritten text that reads: “your 2026 will be awesome!” the wizard cat appears very small and distant seen from behind with its little cape spread wide, creating a cheeky farewell after casting its spell

Dora Schulz (1906-1974) and Heinz Griesbach (1918-2008) taught German at the *Goethe Institut* since the early 1950s. They wrote a *Grammatik der deutschen Sprache* in 1960. It contains the first full-fledged illustration of a *Feldermodell* for the German sentence.

cysouw.github.io/graphicalgra...
Satzbild from the *Grammatik der deutschen Sprache* by Griesbach & Schulze (1960). Illustrated here is a syntactic analysis of the sentence "Wenn du mir versprichst, daß du mir das Geld wiedergibst, sobald dir dein Vater den Scheck geschickt hat, kann ich dir die 100 Mark geben, obwohl ich noch mindestens zwei Wochen warten muß, bis ich mein nächstes Gehalt bekomme."

Maurice Grevisse (1895-1980), a Belgian teacher, wrote *Précis de grammaire française* in 1939. Inspired by Henri Bonnard, he added syntactic schemas to the 25th edition of 1959. This version of the book is still in print today as *Le petit Grevisse*. #linguistics

Schéma from Maurice Grevisse (1966: 284) for the sentence *Cet homme, digne qu’on le confonde, vit d’intrigues.* ‘This man, worthy of being exposed, lives by intrigue.’
