Just found the dates for the next Corpora and Discourse conference, in Innsbruck (Austria, Europe)! 17 to 19 July 2024, dear colleagues, I hope to see you there.

@lingucat Sounds great, but you forgot the fourth C: chatting with friends and colleagues (about #CorpusLinguistics over cake and coffee, of course!) 🤗

Having my quality-assuring 80 percent seminar today. Swedish doctoral students have the privilege to a final seminar *before* the public defense. The opponent today will be Anna Čermáková (Lancaster Uni). She will pose all the hard questions that I have to consider before rewriting and delivering the final thesis version to the printers.
Of course I'm a bit nervous, but I also look very much forward to a critical discussion.

@tschfflr I don’t know but boosting because I have often found #spaCy documentation to be lacking… #CorpusLinguistics

@tschfflr Wow, congrats! That is an amazing achievement for any scholar.
#corpuslinguistics

It seems to me that very few people in #corpuslinguistics #pragmatics #DiscourseAnalysis and #linguistics in general (with the exception of #nlp ) use preprint services. Why is it so? Does anyone here use preprints? And if so, what archives do you use? Boosters appreciated 🙏
@corpuslinguistics @linguistics @academicchatter @academicsunite

@elmerot @linguistics @academicchatter @nelksu@mastodon.social @academicsunite I also recommend following hashtags, e.g. #linguistics and #CorpusLinguistics and @corpuslinguistics and mentioning these when you post about these topics!

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

@andreaskemper is my favorite #corpuslinguistics worker of the year .

Although he is no corpus linguist, his analysis of the #Höcke vs. #LandolfLadig (pseudonym in extreme rightwing newspaper) texts has a sound methodological approach.

In https://andreaskemper.org/2019/06/23/ladig-hoecke-synopse/ (download file) , you can find a comparison with frequencies from #DWDS. Calculations of probabilities and maybe inverse frequency measures would be a plus.

A good case study for #stylometrics or a student paper!

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

#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.

There are more non-English presentations at #CL2023 ! Here, Dario Del Fante presents what metaphors were used in Italian news both during the emigration period 1900–1914 and the immigration period in later years.

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.
