Introducing CONNECT LINGUISTICS
Who will find this newsletter worthy? The answer is “Everyone who speaks a language”.
The resolve to create this newsletter began thus: we asked questions, we conducted research, we discovered a gap!
We asked some Nigerian graduates of linguistics if they knew of any magazine or newsletter that was all linguistics. When it was apparent they did not, we proceeded on a quest to find the answers ourselves; indeed, we found a handful of newsletters on linguistics (and everything language). However, none of them satisfy our Nigerian taste.
This questioning, this searching and the necessary birth of this newsletter happened within the last quarter of 2024.
Counting the number of newsletters about language and linguistics, one will be convinced there is a need for one more, hence, our very own CONNECT LINGUISTICS!
Who will find this newsletter worthy? The answer is “Everyone who speaks a language”.
Moreover, as a student, you will find this newsletter invaluable as our focus is on providing you loaded informational contents. Our aim is to make you see linguistics in a different light — as a rewarding discipline with prominent contributions.
Our INTENTIONS are:
to conduct transformational and informing interviews with linguists of diverse experiences,
to uphold an enabling platform for linguistics students to write and publish anything linguistics that intrigues them,
to mainstream the importance of linguistics in the society; and
to enlighten both linguistics students and the general society about linguistic discourse and its relevance.
In the meantime, you will only receive this newsletter bi-weekly. Please bear with us. As time goes by, you will receive it more often.
If you are already excited to read our first edition, please subscribe here, and expect it shortly.
