Who am I?
I am a doctoral student at the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I am collecting examples of warblish for a book about the subject which will form part of my PhD thesis.
Further reading
If you would like to read further about warblish the best source of information is an article by Hannah Sarvasy, an Australian ethnobiologist. In her 2017 article, Warblish: verbal mimicry of birdsong, she coins the word 'warblish', and calls on others to do further research in this area. I have answered the call! I have over 300 examples so far but I need more so if you know any please contact me.
