Magnetic Phonetics game board and promo offer

Our popular Magnetic Phonetics set has always included tiles with scores printed on them, for playing IPA Crossword. Now, for the first time, we’ve developed a game board to play it on!

The squares are the right size for the Magnetic Phonetics tiles, and there are many more squares than on a standard Scrabble board (with lots of squares for double and triple scores). You can download a free PDF of the game board to print on 11"x17" paper. We like to get ours printed in color on 11"x17" poster stock at our local print shop, but you can also order a copy from our Cafepress shop. If you don’t yet own a copy of Magnetic Phonetics and want to get in on the fun, it’s available for order at cascadilla.com.

We’re also looking for promotional photos of Magnetic Phonetics in action! The photos can show the tiles in place on a file cabinet, or people arranging the tiles on a desk, or playing IPA Crossword on the new game board...or use your imagination! Just send your photos to cascadilla@gmail.com with a note saying “You may use these photos for any promotional purpose.”

Review: Selected Proceedings of the 13th Hispanic Linguistics Symposium

In a Linguist List review of Selected Proceedings of the 13th Hispanic Linguistics Symposium, Jason Doroga of the University of Wisconsin-Madison writes, "the editor has chosen a balanced selection of articles that offer compelling and often-times innovative research in the broad areas of Sociolinguistics and Language Variation, Acquisition and Applied Linguistics, Phonology, and Syntax, Semantics and Pragmatics. These proceedings deserve a wide audience, as both the generalist and the specialist will find cogent studies by young researchers and by established scholars alike." He goes on to say, "The overall quality of the papers in this volume is high, and much of what is included here presents new, original data that challenge or refine existing
scholarship."

You can order a library bound copy of the proceedings, or read the entire proceedings online, at Cascadilla Proceedings Project.

The full review, with a detailed description of the contents, is available on the Linguist List.
