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

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.

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: cambridge.org/core/publication

In principle it should be possible for / to tell if 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 tool I intend to use in my dissertation. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

@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!

@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!

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 , you can't generalize to anything larger anyway!

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!
