This sounds fascinating. A dictionary of Shakespeare's English, created using #CorpusLinguistics approaches. I would dearly like to have this.

Who fucks who, and why should we care?

Looks like I might get to see some of CL2023, despite the fact I'm stuck in a wheelchair in Poland. This is excellent news.

#Linguists may study the canon, but we should not be bound by it.

Just found out who my supervisor is for my dissertation, and I'm well chuffed. It's my Director of Studies, with whom I already have a working relationship, which is a great relief.

If I may self-advertise a little… Cambridge has just published two Elements with me as a co-author:
•Pragmatics in Translation
•Corpus Pragmatics

Both are open access and you can download them right now: https://www.cambridge.org/core/publications/elements/elements-in-pragmatics

In principle it should be possible for #corpuslinguistics / #computationallinguistics to tell if #Lineker is right about a similarity between the language used by the Tories in respect of their immigration policy and language used in Germany in the 1930's. Any ideas or references?

1. I'm trying again to get another 4TB external hard drive. Fingers crossed this one, unlike the previous one, which is probably a knock-off.
2. Got a lead on another job, which, although poorly paid, is better paid than the nothing I have at the moment.
3. New version of the #CorpusLinguistics tool I intend to use in my dissertation. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

Damnit. Now I'm intrigued. Will have to get into the corpora after dinner.

@carbsrule_en Yup! I'm particularly interested in the languages I know or study (English, French, Portuguese, ASL) but I'd love to know if there's something like this for any language! #CorpusLinguistics

@felwert @digitalhumanities Interesting question! What web scraping tool is this, and how does it put the text into the column?

If this is a common practice, it sounds like a counterproductive one! #CorpusLinguistics #DigitalHumanities

@elmerot @shakil_prof @digitalhumanities @corpuslinguistics

Yes, the size of the corpus is relevant if you are taking a sample from a larger corpus and want to know if you can generalize your results to that larger corpus. If you are not doing representative #sampling, you can't generalize to anything larger anyway! #CorpusLinguistics #linguistics

There is an influx of new users on mastodon, so I thought I’ll do the second #introduction!

I’m an English #linguist at #Tampere university, #Finland. I’m especially into #DiscourseAnalysis, #CorpusLinguistics and #Pragmatics - I use these to study persuasive language on social media, as well as self-praise.
My hobby project that has become a brand is “Discourse of the Pick Up Artists” w/@uhlon_dohlenko@mas.to

I guess it’s time for an #introduction!

I’m a PhD candidate at Tulane University, focusing on #LanguageRevitalization, #LanguageChange, #LanguageDocumentation, and #SecondLanguage teaching. I work with the Tunica Language Working Group on Tunica, an #IndigenousLanguage in Louisiana.

I’m also interested in #CorpusLinguistics, language and the law, #DoubleModals, and #Humor.

Outside of linguistics, I’m relearning the piano, keeping my two cats happy, and honing my trivial skills.

Hi! I'm doing an MA in #CorpusLinguistics at Lancaster, and so am also familiar with Lancsbox and CQPweb.

Some cool data from my second qualifying paper: the highest Pointwise Mutual Information Score for collocates of 'transgender' in Breitbart (alt-right) vs. Pink News (leftist LGBT+):

Breitbart: "Transgender craze"
Pink News: "Trailblazing transgender"

Framing, people! Celebrating achievements on the left, kicking minorities and delegitimizing them on the right!
