Coloring Green Ideas
Work in progress.
I'm creating a coloring book about language & linguistics.
The targeted release date for the book is Winter 2024/Spring 2025 Summer/Fall 2025. I plan to make the coloring pages free to use/pay-what-you-want online, with a more complete book available on print on demand.
If you want to buy a postdoc a coffee in the meantime, I'm at https://ko-fi.com/emrem!
Coloring credit to an anonymous Ling R1b student who left their page behind on the last day of class, hopefully on accident.

EveryBodyHasAnAccent.pdfImage description: Block letters read "Every body has an accent," with one word on each line. A forearm palm up shows three tattoos in an homage to American traditional style: A rose; a horseshoe with '[ɡʊd lʌk' written on it, and a heart tattoo with a banner reading "[mɑm mam mʌm mɒm]]". In the space around the arm, a pair of hands meant to represent the ASL sign for "sign" and a mouth. The negative space is filled with stars.
EveryLanguageVaries.pdfImage description: A heart with banners reads "Every Language Varies, Every Language Changes, Every Language Varies"
BoubaOrKiki.pdfImage description: Coloring sheet with text at the top reading "Which nonsense word is each thing? Bouba or Kiki?" The rest of the page is filled with illustrations of curved and pointed things. Each illustration has two checkboxes next to it, one that says "bouba" and one that says "kiki." The illustrations include an ice cream cone, a beach ball, a bunny, a sharp pencil, a pine tree, a pineapple, a toadstool, and a campfire.
LazyLanguage.pdfImage description: Block letters in the middle of the page read “There’s no such thing as ‘lazy’ language.” The text is surrounded by illustrations of snails.
TheThingAboutLanguage.pdfImage description: Block letters in the middle of the page read “There’s no such thing as ‘lazy’ language.” The text is surrounded by illustrations of snails.
ColorlessGreenIdeas.pdfImage description: Text reads “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously” in bubble letters. The text partially overlaps an outline of a bed with stars and a crescent moon on the comforter.
Here's a sneak peek at what else is in the works:
