Language and turns of phrase:
My sentences, wording, has been joked by those who don’t understand. I read books to learn spoken language & only heard those around me in my limited capacity. So I speak oddly. I say things like:
How are you fairing?
That makes my heart feel….

The Whidden Hall resident advisor the year I was there was quite amused by my phrasing, assuming it was because I was a “newbie” (from New Brunswick, living in Ontario). But it was more than that and I was happy to watch her amusement in my phrasing.
Wording & social interactions is an interesting level of observation to me. To word properly, to say it at the right sound level, using appropriate tone, just in case. Then reevaluate it all later to learn better for next time. Imagine doing all that in English & French. Haha

"It takes 10 minutes of sitting on the phone to get an #interpreter, and that’s valuable time when you’re inundated. So this utilitarian calculus kicks in. And the patients that are most mainstream get the best care.”

Q: What makes a #text credible, trustworthy and authoritative?
Many people think it's the quality of #discourse: that some ways of using #language make text more believable
Certainly true BUT: world leaders may talk complete nonsense and still command authority and get elected

Professor Kevin Reinhart @dartmouth speaking about Lived Islam, culture and practice as keynote starting our #CentrefortheStudyofIslam workshop @ExeterIAIS as critique of ‘essentialist’ #Islam
A prominent approach on discursive traditions that is still surprisingly ‘orthodox’ on the centrality of #Quran and #Hadith
Maybe more productive is to consider Islam like a language and its variations in #cosmopolitanism and calques in #sociolinguistics
