Love Linguistics in the time of cholera coronavirus. In a time where most institutions of most countries (yay Taiwan!) have closed during the Spring semester, the Brazilian Association of Linguistics, a.k.a. ABRALIN (Associação Brasileira de Linguística), have invited lots of linguists across the world for online lectures that are freely available.
