Taught my last class of the semester yesterday! 🥳 We worked with the Spanish ParlaMint Corpus, which I learnt about at the pre-conference #CL2023 workshop with @Fabric_Hunter less than two weeks ago. I guess that's pretty quick information turnaround! #CorpusLinguistics #HigherEd

Book launch to end the #CL2023 conference: a corpus-based dictionary of Shakespeare! Two volumes out today, three more to come. Information about which plays certain words occur more in, which kinds of characters that use it more often, etc.

Last day of #CL2023 is here. @ElenLeFoll and Vaclav Brezina present a replication test of three "babies" (≈ subcorpora) of the BNC2014.
They also pre-registered their study at https://aspredicted.org/te8ky.pdf.

Hijacking the #CL2023 hashtag to let everyone in the #CorpusLinguistics world know that there is a 3-year #postdoc position open at the @UniCologne
to work in English #linguistics in @BeatrixBusse
's team. Nina Dumrukcic is in Lancaster to answer any questions you might have. I am, of course, also very happy to answer questions about working and living in Cologne, and German academia in general. https://linguistlist.org/issues/34/2111/

It was a fun (if very crowded and loud) poster session #CL2023 yesterday and now is online poster-reveal time! Here's a link to the poster as a PDF: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371857138_Evaluating_the_Multi-Feature_Tagger_of_English_MFTE_Challenges_and_implications_for_corpus_tool_evaluations_and_comparisons. The actual poster is still up if you're in Lancaster and want to see the real thing with the sparkles! ✨🦄🌈 #CorpusLinguistics

And now for a talk on how politicians actually speak! Interesting methodology used by Václav Cvrček and Martina Berrocal, to see which politician uses what language.

#CL2023 day 3 starts withSylwia Jaworska, excellent in taking #corpuslinguistics to another level in multidisciplinary research. Today she talks about gender in reference letters to corporations.

ALT for the third pic failed, here it is: Presentation slide describing how women rarely get to the top of organisations due to NTPs: non-transferrable projects, that do not give money nor career kudos.Slide by Sylwia Jaworska.

Andrew Hardie "has been working on something for a while", and I need a Swedish new compound for this: VILLHÖVER! (EN translation: mundave, from need + must have.)
"Mortal VARD" is a Linux command line software that offers easier post editing of Early Modern English, specifically Shakespearean language. Perfect for variants of a language, but of course one needs to tweak it to one's needs. Code not out yet, but may be.

For Day 2 of the #CL2023 conference, I am bringing along my recorder and set of North-West England Dance Tunes! If anyone wants to play some tunes together, I suggest we meet at 5:45 in the George Fox Foyer after the final talk of the day. 🎵🎶🪕🎻🎹 🎺 🎵🎶 @corpuslinguistics

@amyfou unsure if you are also on the bird site but, following up on our recent conversation, lots of cool stuff hanging out under the hashtag #CL2023 https://twitter.com/hashtag/CL2023?src=hashtag_click

The upcoming LANA corpus of American English is still looking for people, especially non-women over 30 years old, to complete their spoken corpus. Please check out http://bitly.ws/wgjh for more information! And please boost around the US if you can.

No photo can do justice to all the amazing visualisations that @hanna_schmueck and Vaclav Brezina showed us in their presentation on collocation networks: just 🤩🤩! @corpuslinguistics #CL2023

#CL2023 continues with a panel on research failure. Gerlinde Mautner and Matthew Gillings present the reasons: #PhD students might think established researchers always do the right thing, but that's not what happens. Useful panel to discuss what we do not talk about!

What a joy to be back in Lancaster for the #CL2023! Today, I attended a very informative workshop on the #CLARIN infrastructure and caught up with friends and colleagues I hadn’t seen for many months or years. Stunning evening light to end this great pre-conference day! @corpuslinguistics

Important update 😃
There is beer, albeit no craft beer, at Fylde bar even this afternoon.
