Confs: Panel at IPC20 - The Pragmatics of Online Influence: Persuasion and Authority in Online Coaching Discourses

From the perspective of pragmatics, coaching can be understood as a communication-based, co-constructed discourse genre in which coach and client jointly build meanings, goals, and courses of action turn by turn (see Fleischhacker & Graf 2023). Rather than merely transmitting information, coaching works through persuasion: it relies on speech acts such as advising, evaluating, goal-setting, while also managing uptake and creating an expert identity for the coach (see Weinzinger 2016, Dayter & Rü

To do research is, among other things, to give value to ideas. To review is to critically assess the value of ideas. If you think this process can be done by a Chatbot, you probably shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

I did not submit anything to #EMNLP2026, which is probably part of why I missed this when it was first posted in May, but I want to say now that I am utterly appalled that @aclmeeting.bsky.social & @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social are engaging in this nonsense. 2026.emnlp.org/ai-reviewing... A thread 🧵>>

I’m viewing flats in Tampere trying to reconcile my volatile wishes, which switch on the same day from wanting a green quiet area near the forest to wanting to be close to the nice city spots like Kaleva (to say nothing of what I consider acceptable in terms of kitchen appliances). It’s so 1/2

What I read in the oapers in my field was that LLMs provided "new ideas" on which the mathematicians then worked hard to produce proofs. Since an LLM cannot think but can read a lot, it cannot be excluded that the "new" ideas were obtained by putting together remarks in existing texts. 1/

Submitted 📝 Very happy about this project, firstly, because I've been wanting to do a Twitter vs. BlueSky comparison for a long time, and secondly, because it's a collab with my brilliant MA student (who frankly could be a postdoc)

ready to submit the second paper this year that uses BlueSky data! I really hope at least one of them comes out before this place burns under Toni Schneider, AI and all that

My Finnish language tutor assigned me a blog post by Johanna Isosävi to read as homework! (It is about quiet Finns and not politeness research per se, but still, I thought it's a great coincidence🙂)

“It is then easy to understand why people conversing with ELIZA believe and cling to the belief that they are being understood. The “sense” and the continuity by the person conversing with ELIZA is supplied largely by the person himself.” ...

I like a lot of things about this paper, but one of its special features is that it’s from the future: published in December 2026 apparently 🙃 Great stuff from Paul Baker, as usual www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
