I'll give a 1h workshop at the next English Teachers Association Switzerland conference in Lucerne on February 1st. I'll show how to build a grid that avoids the use of points while mixing summative and formative assessment when evaluating" language production tasks. Interested? Join us 😜

I want to investigate the use of first person pronoun in academic articles across disciplines for my academic writing course. Can someone point me to a useful corpus or study that provides some statistics on this question?

I haven't had the opportunity to write about OCD for the last 3 years due to other teaching priorities. I finally have time to work on a review chapter about the linguistic research on OCD and the words are just flowing out of my mind like never before 😀

Little question about Gricean pragmatics. I get that the non-observance of maxims creates implicature, since interlocutors assume that the cooperative principle is being respected and they make inferences to fill the gap between what is said and what "seems" to be uncooperative.

Does anyone know an accessible text that summarizes the concepts used in 3rd🌊 variation in the construction of identity (indexical orders, fields, personae)? I'd like my students to think about these concepts in relation to the claim "I'm so OCD". @Christianilbury

How do you teach your students to structure a discourse analytical paper? We follow the typical "intro, framework, method, results, discussion, conclusion" structure. But I often end up with results sections that are clunky. Do you tell your students to mix results/discussion?

To corpus linguists:
When doing a diachronic corpus study and we want to study different trends in keywords across time, what is the technical term to signal different keywords across time or stable keywords across time? I have the feeling that there is a specific term for them.

I'm looking for a chapter that gives an overview of different narrative analytical perspectives (preferably in relation to illness narratives). Any suggestions?
