Sunday February 23rd, 2025 – [Online] Grammar, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Language Variation

This will be an online Zoom meeting.  See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions.  Our program will run from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. You can join the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social.

Our featured speaker will be Lola Bradford, a Toronto Oasis participant.  She has a Master’s degree in linguistics from the University of Toronto and is currently a PhD candidate in linguistics at McGill.  Lola will explain how taking a linguist’s perspective on language shows us that language is beautiful in all its forms, including “incorrect” ones.  Things that seem chaotic and lawless have wonderful patterns you can even find yourself.
