Language and Communication is on the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) science breakthrough radar (https://www.gesda.global/) for the first time this year! That means we as a field have a chance to tell the world what exciting discoveries linguistics has made, and where the field is headed. I will present a report on this at the UN in September, and GESDA has commissioned a survey to accompany the report. Language evolution, AI, empirical method in linguistics, and multilingualism are the four core topics. Make your views known on how likely breakthroughs are in these areas, and how soon they might happen by taking part is GESDA's Language and Communication breakthrough survey: https://tinyurl.com/2r29yep6
