Berkeley's Susan Lin(link is external) has gotten a lot of attention lately for her phonetic analysis of presidential candidate Donald J. Trump's adverbial use of big-league (which many listeners hear as bigly). Pieces in the blogosphere and media include the following:
- Language Log(link is external) (Ben Zimmer)
- National Public Radio(link is external)
- New York Times(link is external)
- Seattle Times(link is external)
- Washington Post(link is external)
