What’s a Wug?


I’m so glad you asked! A wug is a little bird-like creature that represents the linguistics community – wugs are our mascot. Wugs aren’t birds since they don’t have wings – they’re a unique species in their own right! The wug can be seen in the picture below. Some wugs are small, others tall, some blue, and some can be any hue! The wug was created by psycholinguist Jean Berko-Gleason for her Wug Test. The Wug Test was given to children to see how they could form plurals for words and creatures they have never seen before. There are other creatures that make appearances in The Wug Test, also: the Gutch and the Kazh.

 But in my opinion, the wugs are

 

 the cutest creature in The Wug Test. Welcome to the world of wugs – they’re glad to see you, and so am I!
