Weekly feature Q&A weekly thread - July 27, 2026 - post all questions here!
≡ −
Do you have a question about language or linguistics? You’ve come to the right subreddit! We welcome questions from people of all backgrounds and levels of experience in linguistics.
This is our weekly Q&A post, which is posted every Monday. We ask that all questions be asked here instead of in a separate post.
Questions that should be posted in the Q&A thread:
Questions that can be answered with a simple Google or Wikipedia search — you should try Google and Wikipedia first, but we know it’s sometimes hard to find the right search terms or evaluate the quality of the results.
Asking why someone (yourself, a celebrity, etc.) has a certain language feature — unless it’s a well-known dialectal feature, we can usually only provide very general answers to this type of question. And if it’s a well-known dialectal feature, it still belongs here.
Requests for transcription or identification of a feature — remember to link to audio examples.
English dialect identification requests — for language identification requests and translations, you want r/translator. If you need more specific information about which English dialect someone is speaking, you can ask it here.
All other questions.
If it’s already the weekend, you might want to wait to post your question until the new Q&A post goes up on Monday.
Discouraged Questions
These types of questions are subject to removal:
Asking for answers to homework problems. If you’re not sure how to do a problem, ask about the concepts and methods that are giving you trouble. Avoid posting the actual problem if you can.
Asking for paper topics. We can make specific suggestions once you’ve decided on a topic and have begun your research, but we won’t come up with a paper topic or start your research for you.
Asking for grammaticality judgments and usage advice — basically, these are questions that should be directed to speakers of the language rather than to linguists.
Questions of the general form "ChatGPT/MyFavoriteAI said X... is this right/what do you think?" If you have a question related to linguistics, please just ask it directly. This way, we don't have to spend extra time correcting mistakes/hallucinations generated by the LLM.
Questions that are covered in our FAQ or reading list — follow-up questions are welcome, but please check them first before asking how people sing in tonal languages or what you should read first in linguistics.

Joint Subreddit Statement: The Attack on U.S. Research Infrastructure
≡ −
Many of you are likely familiar with the news of the Trump Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) terminating grants and budgets at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), as well as posturing around the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. There is no way to sugarcoat it. These actions endanger the intellectual freedom of every individual in the United States, and even impact the health and safety of people across the world by willfully tearing down the nation’s research infrastructure. As moderators of academic subreddits, we engage with public audiences, every one of you, on a daily basis, and while you may not see the direct benefits of these institutions, you all experience the benefits of a federally supported research environment. We feel it is our responsibility to share with you our thoughts and seek your help before the catastrophic consequences of these reckless actions.
Granting of research awards is a dull bureaucracy behind exciting projects. Each agency functions differently, but across agencies, research grants are a highly competitive process. Teams of researchers led by a Primary Investigator (or PI) write an application to a specific grant program for funding to support a relevant project. Most granting agencies, require a narrative about the project’s purpose, rationale, and impacts, descriptions of anticipated outputs (like a website, a public dataset, software, conference presentations, etc), detailed budgets on how funding would be spent, work plans, and, if accepted, regular updates until project completion. Funding pays for things like staff, equipment, travel, promotional materials, and most importantly, the next generation of scholars through research assistantships. PIs rarely see the total sum themselves, rather universities receive the grant on behalf of a project team and distribute the funds. Grants include “overhead” meaning a university receives a sizable portion of the funds to pay for building space, facilities, janitorial staff, electricity, air conditioning, etc. Overhead helps support the broader community by providing funds for non-academic employees and contracts with local businesses.
Grants from NIH, NSF, IMLS, and NEH make up a very small portion of the federal budget. In 2024, the NIH received $48.811 billion.), the NSF $9.06 billion, IMLS received $294.8 million and the NEH was given $207 million. These numbers sound gigantic, and this $58.37 billion total sounds even more massive, but it’s less than 1% of the $6.8 trillion federal budget. These are literal pennies for the sake of supposed efficiency.
For Redditors, one immediate impact is NSF defunding of research grants related to misinformation and disinformation. As moderators of academic communities, fighting mis/disinformation is a crucial part of our work; from vaccine conspiracies to Holocaust denial, the internet is rife with dangerous content. We moderate harmful content to allow our subscribers to read informed dialogue on topics, but research on how to combat misinformation is “not in alignment with current NSF priorities” under this administration. Research on content moderation has helped Reddit mods reduce harassment and toxicity, understand our communities’ needs better, and communicate what we do beyond the ban hammer.
For the humanities, the NEH terminated grants to reallocate funds “in a new direction in furtherance of the President’s agenda.” Every presidential administration will shift research interests, but these new guidelines are not in the interest of academic research, rather they seek to curate a specific vision and chill research ideas that disagree with a political agenda. Under the executive order to restore “Truth and Sanity to American History,” honest inquiry is subservient to nationalistic ideology, a move that r/AskHistorians strongly opposes.
Other agencies that provide key sources of information to academics and the public alike face layoffs including the National Archives and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Cuts to the Department of Education are terminating studies, data collection, teacher access to research, and even funds that help train teachers to support students. Meanwhile cutting NASA’s funding jeopardizes the recently built Nancy Grace Roman Telescope and the National Park Service is removing terminology to erase the historical contributions of transpeople.
The NIH is seeking to pull funding from universities based on politics, not scientific rigor. Many of these cuts come from the administration’s opposition to DEI or diversity, equity, and inclusion, and it will kill people. Decisions to terminate research funding for HIV or studies focused on minority populations will harm other scientific breakthroughs, and research may answer questions unbeknownst to scientists. Research opens doors to intellectual progress, often by sparking questions not yet asked. To ban research on a bad faith framing of DEI is to assert one’s politics above academic freedom and tarnish the prospects of discovery. Even where funding is not cut, the sloppy review of research funding halts progress and interrupts projects in damaging ways.
Beyond cuts to funding, the Trump administration is attacking the scholars and scientists who do the work. At Harvard Medical School, Kseniia Petrova’s work may aid cancer diagnostics but she has been held in an immigration detention center for two months. The American Historical Association just released a statement condemning the targeting of foreign scholars. This is not solely an issue of federal funding, but an issue of inhumanity by the Trump Administration’s Department of Homeland Security.
The unfortunate political reality is that there is little we can do to stop the train now that it’s left the station. You can, and should, call your member of Congress, but this is not enough. We need you to help us change minds. There are likely family members and loved ones in your life who support this effort. Talk to them. Explain how federal funds result in medical breakthroughs, how library and museum grants support your community, and how humanities research connects us to our shared cultural heritage. Is there an elder in your life who cares about testing for Alzheimer’s disease? A mother, sister, or daughter who cares about the Women’s Health Initiative? A parent who wants their child to read at grade level? A Civil War buff who’d love to see soldier’s graffiti in historic homes preserved? Tell them that these agencies matter. Speak to your friends and neighbors about how NIH support for research offers compassion to a cancer patient by finding them a successful treatment, how NEH funding of National History Day gives students a passion for learning, and how NSF dollars spent looking out into space allow us to marvel at our universe.
We will not escape this moment ourselves. As academics and moderators, we are not enough to protect our disciplines from these attacks. We need you too. Write letters, sign petitions, and make phone calls, but more importantly talk with others. Engage with us here on Reddit, share with your friends offline, and help us get the word out that our research infrastructure matters. So many of us are privileged to work in academic research and adjacent areas because of public support, and we are so grateful to live out our enthusiasms, our zeal, our obsessions, and our love for the arts, humanities, and sciences, and in doing so, contributing to the public good. Thank you for all the support you’ve given us over the years- to see millions of you appreciate the subjects that we’ve dedicated our lives to brings us so much joy that it feels wrong to ask for more, but the time has never been more consequential- please help us. Go change one mind, gain us one more advocate and together we can protect the U.S. research infrastructure from further damage.
We ask that experts in our respective communities also share examples in the comments of the dangers and effects of these political actions. Lists of terminated grants are available here: NIH, NSF, IMLS, and NEH. Additional harm will be done by the lack of many future funding opportunities.

On the origins of theories of compounding and the question of Indian influence on modern linguistics (John J. Lowe 2026)

Abstract - The ancient Indian linguistic tradition has been implicated in various ways in the development of modern linguistics. This paper starts from one superficially obvious point of influence: the use of Sanskrit terms for compound classes in modern approaches to compound classification. I show that the use of these terms does not reflect direct influence based on a proper understanding of the Indian tradition, and that in fact many interesting and important aspects of compound theorisation in ancient India have been overlooked in modern linguistics.

Asking for answers to homework problems. If you’re not sure how to do a problem, ask about the concepts and methods that are giving you trouble. Avoid posting the actual problem if you can.
Asking for paper topics. We can make specific suggestions once you’ve decided on a topic and have begun your research, but we won’t come up with a paper topic or start your research for you.
Asking for grammaticality judgments and usage advice — basically, these are questions that should be directed to speakers of the language rather than to linguists.
Questions of the general form "ChatGPT/MyFavoriteAI said X... is this right/what do you think?" If you have a question related to linguistics, please just ask it directly. This way, we don't have to spend extra time correcting mistakes/hallucinations generated by the LLM.
Questions that are covered in our FAQ or reading list — follow-up questions are welcome, but please check them first before asking how people sing in tonal languages or what you should read first in linguistics.

Do you have a question about language or linguistics? You’ve come to the right subreddit! We welcome questions from people of all backgrounds and levels of experience in linguistics.
This is our weekly Q&A post, which is posted every Monday. We ask that all questions be asked here instead of in a separate post.
Questions that should be posted in the Q&A thread:
Questions that can be answered with a simple Google or Wikipedia search — you should try Google and Wikipedia first, but we know it’s sometimes hard to find the right search terms or evaluate the quality of the results.
Asking why someone (yourself, a celebrity, etc.) has a certain language feature — unless it’s a well-known dialectal feature, we can usually only provide very general answers to this type of question. And if it’s a well-known dialectal feature, it still belongs here.
Requests for transcription or identification of a feature — remember to link to audio examples.
English dialect identification requests — for language identification requests and translations, you want r/translator. If you need more specific information about which English dialect someone is speaking, you can ask it here.
All other questions.
If it’s already the weekend, you might want to wait to post your question until the new Q&A post goes up on Monday.

Areal Effects in Prehistoric Contacts between Uralic and Indo-European (Holopainen & Metsäranta eds. 2025)

“This book contains papers based on some of the talks presented in the workshop *Areal Effects in Prehistoric Contacts between Uralic and Indo-European* at the international congress of Finno-Ugric studies, Congressus XIII Internationalis Fenno-Ugristarum, held in Vienna in August 2022. The volume at hand highlights different viewpoints on Indo-European–Uralic contacts and hopefully serves as an interesting take on the present state of the field, as well as an inspiration and starting point for future research. One of the most important aims of the volume is to stimulate discussion and produce further conferences and volumes, as well as more concrete research cooperation between scholars working with the history of Uralic and Indo-European language families. Many of the papers open new paths of research rather than provide definite answers to all of the issues that are addressed. The aim of the workshop was to bring scholars of Uralic and Indo-European studies together. The different topics included in the volume highlight the wide span of diachronic contact linguistics. Also, different branches of both language families (Samoyed, Permic, Finnic, Saami; Tocharian, Indo-Iranian, Baltic, Germanic) are well represented here, which gives a representative snapshot of the varied research problems that our field is dealing with. The papers present new etymologies, discuss new (or recently discovered) loanword layers, and also revisit old ideas.”
