A blog about all things linguistic by Gretchen McCulloch.

I cohost Lingthusiasm , a podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics.

I'm the author of Because Internet , a book about internet language Linguistics Jobs: Interview with a Marketing Content Specialist

One recurrent theme of the Linguistics Jobs interviews is that people come to see the ways in which their jobs allow room for them to bring their interest in linguistics and love of language to a particular set of tasks. Today’s interviewee, Sophia Eakins, provides a great example of how she has done this both in terms of the specific work she does, but also in how she helps shape her workplace culture (linguistics reading group). You can read Sophie’s blog posts for Lionbridge Technologies , and follow her linguistics career adventures on LinkedIn .

What did you study at university?

I graduated from Wellesley College

(Massachusetts, USA) Class of 2019 with a B.A. in Linguistics and French. With only two professors in the department, I had the chance to study and work intimately with two very cool linguists. My linguistic education focused heavily on their areas of expertise: sociolinguistics and phonetics/phonology. Thanks to them I found my passion for sociolinguistics and specifically language contact and creole language studies.

I also spent one year studying at Aix-Marseille Université

in Aix-en-Provence, France. By pure coincidence, Aix happens to be “the Creole Studies capital of Europe” (according to my professor). I took the chance to study with a famous creolist, Sybille Kriegel , and intern with her and her colleagues at the linguistics lab related to the university, Le Laboratoire Parole et Langage . How does your linguistics training help you in your job?

I am incredibly lucky to have found a job that lets me channel my passion for linguistics on a daily basis. Linguistics is extremely relevant when writing articles about translating content for different markets. Translation businesses have to understand the importance of sociolinguistic elements such as using correct dialect and invoking the appropriate tone, and subject matter. In light of this, I wrote a two-part series published on the blog in October 2019 entitled “How To Be A Global Linguist.” It focuses on the difference between a language and a dialect, and defining creole and pidgin languages. Do you have any advice do you wish someone had given to you about linguistics/careers/university?

Don’t worry about finding the perfect, linguistics-related job straight out of school. You might find yourself in the marketing department of a massive corporate company, but language is ever-present. Regardless of whether you’re in a cubicle or a classroom, you can incorporate your love and respect for language into your daily life and interactions. There are so many more jobs and paths than your college career advisor can possibly know of. Worry not You will find your place. Any other thoughts or comments?

I started a linguistics bookclub at my office

We’re called “Reading Between the Lions” (get it, “Lionbridge”…. Heh heh). We read books based around language and culture – I got everyone excited about one of my favorite linguistics book, In the Land of Invented Languages

(Arika Okrent).
