My latest article 'The Language of Profeminist Men Online: A Corpus Linguistic Analysis' has now been published in Gender and Language! The paper examines the language of r/MensLib, a community dedicated to discussing men's issues in a profeminist manner on Reddit. utppublishing.com/stoken/autho...
The Language of Profeminist Men Online: A Corpus Linguistic Analysis | Gender and Language
Abstract This article examines the language of r/MensLib, a community dedicated to discussing men's issues in a profeminist manner on the content aggregation site Reddit. The language of profeminist men is relatively under-researched compared to that of antifeminist men, and so this article explores the salient topics of r/MensLib, the specific language used within the community and how r/MensLib orient themselves to feminism. The 50 most upvoted posts of all time and their associated comment threads were collected from r/MensLib, totaling a corpus of 925,153 words, and then a keyword analysis was conducted using Sketch Engine. The study found that r/MensLib explicitly support a range of LGBTQ+ identities, critique socially constructed gender roles, and discuss how they orient to feminism and a variety of other topics, such as the manosphere, sexual violence, abortion, body shaming, and pornography.

Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare
This book has been fun and also somewhat liberating to write. To explain this we have to tell the story of how the book came about.
