Corvinus at #CADAAD2026! Happy to attend this year’s conference with some of my students. The discourse was excellent, and so were the discussions.

📑 What do 122 studies on social media populism actually tell us? Our new paper reviews the field and finds a surprising pattern: whether results support a hypothesis often depends on how the study is designed. In other words, methods matter—a lot. academic.oup.com/anncom/advan...

📚 Who let the politicians out? 🙋‍♀️ I did — in The Person in Politics. The book shows how pronouns in U.S. presidential nomination speeches drive personalization: spotlighting leaders, building “us” vs. “them,” and shaping collective identities. tinyurl.com/5a3y7h9a

🏞️ We checked out the evolving conceptualisation of Central Asian countries in Western news articles and found evidence of CA appearing as an ally. However, the region being “Russia’s backyard” sentiment still persists via references to the Soviet Union. Read more here: tinyurl.com/3wm3s7hp

🙈 🌞 One of those days: one young researcher’s award snub and two abstract rejects (from the same conference!) all stocked for the end of January (at least it’s over). To top it all off, I burned lunch. Gonna wipe the tears with our latest paper – also published today as the highlight of the day!

🧓 Want to avoid late-onset depression? Just be a senior, not elderly! 📰 Our research in Text & Talk shows that Australian news media portrays depression as less severe and more treatable in seniors than in the elderly. #ageing #depression #latelifedepression doi.org/10.1515/text...

☕️👀 I read “The Puzzle of Vehicle Selection in Conceptual Metonymies”—and you should too! My review in LaMiCuS explains why I recommend pairing it with a good coffee. After all, as the book shows, you can enjoy a “cup” and still end up with coffee! files.clickweb.home.pl/be/02/be0204...

🫀👀 Oh my heart, I reviewed the volume “Embodiment in cross-linguistic studies: The ‘heart’,” discussing the conceptualisation of the heart across 19 languages on 479 pages. And I recommend reading those pages from the bottom of…you know what. t.co/vWYiaaySeg
