This is essentially my Wishlist of Impossible Wishes. The following things should exist, and don't. The world would be a better place with all these awesome things, and I don't know how we get by without them. Crossed-out things actually do exist, to the best of my knowledge.
IPA Whatnots
- IPA cookie cutters
- IPA ice cube trays
- IPA cereal
IPA scrabbleIPA magnetic poetry- IPA alphabet soup
Publications
- A complete analysis of Turkic vowel harmony systems
- A complete analysis of Turkic consonant dissociation
- A complete diachronic account of every word in every language (where they come from originally—as far back as determinable—grouped by which patterns of change they underwent via which languages, etc etc)
- A good English-Kazakh dictionary
- A portable hand-held completely extensible and open-source digital dictionary for lexicography work
- A comparative diachronic OT account of Portuguese and Russian, showing that this is why they sound similar to non-native speakers of either
Fields
- Diachronic OT Phonology
Songs about…
- Linguistics
