📌 Important

September’s BlogBlog Party: Staying Up is still ongoing, you can submit your entries anytime before the end of September!

I already had a plan to become a BlogBlog Party host back in March 2026, with my slot originally scheduled right after ikuka. However, due to a busy work schedule in September, I postponed the hosting timeslot by a month to October.

One of the reasons for this website’s existence is to archive various easy-to-read notes, including, but not limited to, material on language learning and promotion. While the site currently features quite a lot articles on linguistics, my actual professional background is completely unrelated to the field in fact.

You may have noticed that this website is actually multilingual, although I often publish a version in one language first and gradually translate it into the others much later when I have time.

Theme: “Acquisition, Transmission, and Promotion of Languages”

The theme of October 2026 is: “Acquisition, Transmission, and Promotion of Languages”!

In light of the decline of native languages¹, what are your thoughts, opinions, or suggestions? In fact, “Development and Preservation of Native Languages](#-development-and-preservation-of-native-languages)” is the topic I originally drafted.

Side note: Speaking of local languages, it seems difficult to find online learning materials for (Taiwanese) Hokkien suitable for foreigners with zero prior knowledge, and related natural language processing systems are still in the development stage. Perhaps this represents a significant gap in the market. I might consider developing a proprietary teaching platform for it in the future.

Topic Ideas

Here are some topic ideas for your reference.

💬 Development and Preservation of Native Languages

This is the title I originally drafted. After discussing it with others, I felt the initial title was a bit too narrow, so I broadened it to its current form.

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Language policies at the family and societal levels: “If” you plan to start a family and have children, what kind of language policies do you intend to implement within your family, with your children, and in your community?
• 🗳️ Government-level language policy: Suppose you had the authority to formulate policy at the government level, what kind of language policy would you establish for your citizens?
• 💬 Discussion about the orthography, expressions, and idioms in the native language?: If I were to actually write about it, I could probably create an entire category of articles. It’s just that, right now, I’m a bit too lazy to get started.
• 👴 Seeking Roots: The personal journey of reclaiming an ancestral language following a linguistic break?
• 🏴🏫 Extreme Linguistic Revitalizationism: Imagine a post-World War III world. If you were a child in this era, sent by political zealots to a “native language school” where you were forced to receive native language education, (possibly with every subject taught in that native language), would you feel distressed, struggle to keep up with your studies, and eventually come to hate school? What if adults who lacked proficiency in the native language were even forced to undergo “re-education” simply because the original national language was branded the tongue of the colonizers?
• 💻 Natural Language Processing for Low-Resource Languages: 這是一個比較偏向技術層面的面向。一些本土語言的自然語言處理技術發展較晚，各位對此有無建議？可能的實作方向或者產品都可以。各位如何投資本土語言／低資源語言的語音合成與辨識、斷詞、標音、翻譯、TTS/RVC 音源等技術？
• 🩸🔫🙊😱 還是說，比起本土語言的保育，你更樂於以強勢語言打壓及侮辱本土語言？

🌐 Comments about Language Policies of Governments Around the World

Commentary on the language policies of various governments. This may cover historical policies or those currently in effect.

• 📖 Currently, all Chinese-speaking regions require the study of Classical Chinese during the stage of compulsory education. I have heard that Classical Chinese is also studied as part of compulsory education in Japan. Is studying Classical Chinese actually useful in modern society?
• 🖋️ Is Chinese calligraphy an anti-ergonomical thing? Should it be included in the compulsory education curriculum?

📚 Experience of Language Learning

• 💬 你是否曾經有被要求學習多種語言，然後發現學習進度根本追不上的經驗？
• 💬 你最喜歡的語言、學過的語言、最想學的語言、學了很久還是學不好的語言？
• 🧑‍🏫 遇到過的語言老師、交過的不同語言的朋友
• 📚 自己私藏的語言學習法

❓ Miscellaneous

• 🗣️ 因為語言／口音不同而發生的趣事、culture shock 或者歧視經驗
• 🐱 跟寵物溝通的語言、使用不同語言（甚至程式語言）的經驗
• 💡 各種有關語言的冷知識，似乎和幾個月前的同樂會主題有點兒重疊（但我不會禁止在往期同樂會投稿過的舊文重複投稿！）。

以上提示僅供參考，參與者可以自由發揮，只要內容和「Acquisition, Transmission, and Promotion of Languages」有關即可。

Q & A

• Q1: 沒有自己的部落格也能參加嗎？

  A1: 如果是「自己」的部落格更好。但文章如果是在 Substack、Medium、方格子也 OK。不接受社群媒體的投稿（如 Facebook、Instagram、Threads、X）。請確保投稿文章在截稿時公開可見。如果我在中途或截稿時發現文章無法公開檢視的話，我會嘗試通知有關的投稿者，一段時間之內沒有恢復／更新的話我會把失效／無法檢視的連結直接移除。

• Q2: 一定要寫新文章嗎？可以拿之前寫的舊文章參加嗎？

  A2: 可以拿過去的舊文章參加唷！如果你部落格裡剛好有符合主題的文章，可以直接投稿，不用因為文章是去年寫的就不好意思拿出來。只要符合「Acquisition, Transmission, and Promotion of Languages」這個主題的文章都可以參加。（但為同樂會專門寫一篇新的文章，會更有參與感喔！）

• Q3: 投稿有篇數上限嗎？

  A3: 原則上不設限⁴，這可能是歷屆同樂會以來最佛心的一次了 ，但也請別刻意灌水滋擾我拜託🤣。

• Q4: 投稿語言有限制嗎？

  A4: 原則上無限制，不過 BlogBlog 同樂會的投稿活動一般以繁體中文為主。視乎本人對不同語種的熟悉程度，我有可能需要依賴機器翻譯服務來理解閣下的外語投稿。不過本人台語程度較弱⁵，若閣下投稿「只」有台語的文章而未有提供翻譯（翻譯要公開或者私下提供都可以），我將會需要依賴機器翻譯服務輔助理解。

• Q5: 投稿後多久會收到回覆？⁶

  A5: 儘可能在一至兩天內回覆吧⁷。如果我剛好比較沒空或是您在臨近截稿期限時投稿的話，我可能會先出一封回信確認收件，之後才另外補上針對文章內容的回應（或者直接在回顧文中回覆）。您亦可以隨時造訪本頁的投稿文章列表檢查本人是否已確認收件。但我目前用的是免費郵箱服務，不保證回顧文發佈時會給大家統一發 newsletter。

• Q6：投稿名單多久會更新一次？

  A6：在初期文章不太多的時候，我可能會積攢夠一定的篇數或者等到部落格有其他內容更新的時候才一併更新這裏。但我會盡快回覆郵件確認收件。到後期投稿速度變高的時候我想我就會每天更新這裏的投稿名單了，除非有哪天我不太有空。

• Q7：可不可以投稿立場較為偏激嘅文章？

  A7：我不會自動拒絕立場偏激嘅文章投稿，但我可能會喺文章連結側邊標示立場激進，請各位讀者做好心理準備。與本人立場相左的文章可能會被我在回顧文中以嘲諷的口吻敘述，後果自負。

已經投稿的作者清單（持續更新）

活動期間，這裡會持續更新已投稿的文章連結，歡迎大家互相閱讀、交流、訂閱！最終整理與回顧文章會在 11 月初發布。
