IPA ties

Stylish enough to wear to conferences, subtle enough to wear to a job interview, and sure to amaze and delight your colleagues when they realize this isn’t your typical alphabet motif, this IPA tie lets you power dress with stealth nerdery. Hang out with all your favourite characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet (including all consonants, vowels, and “other” from the 2015 edition; but not the diacritics, tone markers, or suprasegmentals) in white text on an olive background. Symbols are arranged artistically, rather than by meaning, so it’s safe to wear in an exam room. But if you can come up with any inadvertent natural classes no one else has spotted yet, let us know and we’ll send you a sticker!

Lingthusiasm the podcast transforms your boring commute or chores into a lively, nerdy conversation, and now you can wear your linguistics fandom on your sleeve, around your neck, and surrounding your coffee or books.
