Listening to this great #EnglishGrammarDay presentation by @zarashah.bsky.social and @hwimbushenglish.bsky.social on the power that comes from understanding how language works - may all our children encounter such enlightened teachers!

Zara Shah@zarashah.bsky.social · last yr.

@hwimbushenglish.bsky.social and I are delighted to be talking about the teaching of grammar as a moral imperative at @britishlibrary.bsky.social next Monday. If you’re there, do come and say hello, and join in with the conversation! #teamenglish #englishgrammarday #equityineducation #diverseed

Now at #EnglishGrammarDay @bethmalory.bsky.social on stigma and agency in media discourse around mpox and monkeypox

At #EnglishGrammarDay @billylinguist.bsky.social causes confusion and self doubt by asking what we would call a small Wug 🐦 - I don't think there is a consensus!

On my way to London for a day of listening to cool people talk about cool language things. What better way to start the week!

Short-form videos served from an algorithm are an evolving genre, changing how people talk in them compared to earlier forms of video, and linguists are on it! In this episode we talk with Adam Aleksic aka @etymology.substack.com.web.brid.gy about the linguistics of tiktok

TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are an evolving genre of media: short-form, vertical videos that take up your whole screen and are served to you from an algorithm rather than who you follo

sorry if I forgot tagging anyone for their #ICAME46 presentation 😅 Trying to make amends as you can see...

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

because I'm terrible at tagging people here on Bsky, here's a non-exhaustive list of people active at #ICAME46: Daria Dayter @coocho.bsky.social Rachele de Felice @racheledf.bsky.social Patricia Ronan @anteangaeile.bsky.social Daniela Landert @dlandert.bsky.social Tanja Säily @tanjasaily.fi

How have I missed this amazing bathroom decor at #ICAME46 until now?!

Kicking off a long afternoon of talks at #ICAME46 with Tanja Säily on the rise of big data in historical corpus linguistics, focusing on how LLMs can help with corpus metadata

"disruptive but rational" was one of their descriptions - could be usefully applied as a motto in all sorts of situations! #ICAME46

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

Christian Langerfeld & Gisle Andersen's investigation of interruptions in a corpus of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings shows that in this setting interruptions aren't a sign of anarchy & disruption but help driving the deliberations forward #ICAME46

Lukas Sönning's beautiful #ICAME46 slides can be found at: osf.io/fr476/ lots of important take-aways for effective (and aesthetic) data visualization!

Chairing this morning so no #ICAME46 updates from me. Lots of great papers though!

I feel like there is a very small number of people doing a lot of #ICAME46 updating on here 😅

A more modern, but still elegant, room hosts a talk by @anteangaeile.bsky.social and Gerold Schneider on the language of the political right (what joy) at #ICAME46

My favourite line from #ICAME46 so far: "linguists can also be fanatic about something". It's a curse and a blessing! 😁

It's all happening at #ICAME46! A whole day dedicated to speech acts in a beautiful venue, doesn't get much better than that 😊

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 🤞

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Excited to share the second episode I've recorded for the new @welspraxis.bsky.social Scholarship Hub podcast. It was a pleasure to interview Dr Korina Giaxoglou and such an interesting discussion on storytelling on social media. Link to the podcast below:
