On my way home after #cads2026. I have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of it! the community is going stronger and stronger making it a place where we all blossom. Looking forward to the next one in Vienna!

Very tired today but also very grateful to have our little #CADS community. Thanks to everyone who came and made #CADS2026 what it was! Now, over to you, Vienna... 🍰☕️ #CADS2028 @ursulalutzky.bsky.social @susannekopf.bsky.social @mathewgillings.bsky.social

Corpora & Discourse Conference 2026@corporadiscourse.bsky.social · 3mo ago

And so #CADS2026 comes to an end. We had 4 plenaries, 99 papers, 18 posters and 150 delegates. Thank you from all of us to everyone who came and made it so special ❤️🩶

#CADS2026 is a tough act follow, but we're very much looking forward to hosting you all in Vienna at @wuvienna.bsky.social in July 2028!! 🇦🇹

Anna Marchi 🌈@journolinguist.bsky.social · 3mo ago

and #CADS2028 is going to 🥁 Vienna July 5-7

Day 2 at #CADS2026 closes with a blast: @elenasemino.bsky.social amazing as ever on pushing boundaries and corpus methods making a difference

Me neither, Sainsburys fridge sign, me neither

Now at #CADS2026 Gerlinde Mautner & @mathewgillings.bsky.social are looking at leadership discourse - by and about leaders

Brilliant second plenary at #CADS2026: lots of methodological food for thought with @matteofuoli.bsky.social problematising CADS' deterministic assumptions + showing the added value of testing discourse effects empirically

At #CADS2026, Michaela Mahlberg describes corpora as “evidence of human experience”. That’s a wonderful way of looking at corpora.

The next octopus conference is coming to town 🐙 “Influence, Manipulation, Seduction” 3d edition at Tampere Uni, co-organised with @sofiaruediger.bsky.social and @domini.bsky.social - this time it is face to face! Send us your persuasive abstracts by July 1 🐦🐦 events.tuni.fi/persuasion20...

After our very succesful Corpus Linguistics 2025 conference hosted by @robbielove.org at Aston, CL is going on tour! Our next conference will be Easter 2027 in Hong Kong at HK Poly U. In summer 2029 we return to Europe when @michamahlberg.bsky.social will host CL at Erlangen!

Diaries at the ready... the next Corpora & Discourse International Conference will take place from 23-25 June 2026, at Lancaster University. We are also very excited to launch our website, with plenary speaker info, key dates, and much more besides: wp.lancs.ac.uk/cad-2026/. Please share widely!

An excellent article (use link). Its time to abandon nonverbal behaviour as a deception cue. 50 years of research show no support for it. Polygraph, voice stress analysis, microexpressions, eye tracking - its all pseudoscience. #Deception crestresearch.ac.uk/download/490...

It seems that the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics series is free to download for the duration of #CL2025 again — including my own. I’m never one to pass up a freebie, so do take a look: www.cambridge.org/core/element...

If you’re going to #CL2025 and interested in either health communication, or methodology papers more broadly, our work here should be of interest. And, more importantly, it’s @janadeclercq.bsky.social’s first corpus conference, so do say hello if you see her! 😉😀

Jana Declercq@janadeclercq.bsky.social · last yr.

Getting ready to go to Corpus Linguistics in Birmingham #CL2025 next week! Will be presenting the paper I've written with @mathewingram.com and Isolde van Dorst. We've compared patients' and health care providers' discourses in chronic pain consultations, using a corpus-assisted DA approach.

That’s a wrap on #IPrA2025! We organised a panel on regional (im)politeness variation, presented our own work on variation in the USA, and then gave a methods paper looking at discourses of chronic pain from both an interactional sociolinguistics and a CADS perspective. What a great few days. 🇦🇺

The word is out! Next IPrA is in our (Finnish) neck of the woods, in Helsinki 🇫🇮 Pragmaticians, converge!

This week I’m in Brisbane for the #IPrA2025 conference. It was straight into it last Saturday, giving a pre-conference workshop on Corpus Pragmatics with participants from 11 countries. A real delight! 🇦🇺

International Pragmatics Conference just kicking off at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. Always a great opportunity to pick up conversations with so many friends and colleagues as if no time had passed since we last met.

Thanks to those posting from #ICAME46 this week so we can follow along vicariously. 😀 This workshop yesterday on speech act development sounded really great.

Sofia Rüdiger@sofiaruediger.bsky.social · last yr.

First day of #ICAME46 will be the busiest for me. Co-hosting the workshop on "Speech Acts in Formal and Informal Interactions in English: Mapping the Past, Exploring the Future" with @racheledf.bsky.social & Christine Elsweiler & presenting on complaints later 🤞

A few photos from Bergen last week during the Association for Business Communication conference where I presented some work on the discourse of corporate wrongdoing. Stunning city with some particularly friendly four-legged residents who don’t seem to mind the chilly summers! 🇳🇴

This CfP for a special issue of Corpus Pragmatics (ed. by P. Madella) looks really great. It promises to make a significant contribution to a more linguistically-informed approach to deception (detection) - something much needed!

New paper out in the International Journal of Business Communication on corporate wrongdoing -- specifically how Boeing navigated the 737 Max crisis a few years ago. Check it out open access here: doi.org/10.1177/2329...

Travelling to the UK this morning to attend and give a plenary at the Manchester Forum in Linguistics. I’ll be talking about using corpus methods to study variational (im)politeness - really looking forward to being back north for a few days. 😄 mfilconf.wordpress.com
