This looks like something I have to have! 😺
Check out this recent book that uses the study of online cat discourse to teach sociolinguistics!

What a cool way to introduce people to the field of sociolinguistics. You might be surprised at just how much we can learn about language from cat memes.

It's Week 1 of the semester @fau.de, and I had an amazing time starting my multidimensional analysis course today! It was especially great to have students joining after Register & Variation among Texts that I taught last year! Looking forward to the rest of the semester!

A warm welcome to all students as we begin a new semester at DHSS! Wishing you inspiration, growth, and success in the months ahead!

Our book 'Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare' is out open access! We wrote it to share what we learnt in many years of research in @corpussocialsci.bsky.social, on topics such as communication about anxiety, dementia, cancer, obesity and vaccines. cambridgeblog.org/2025/08/appl...
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.
