The participants of our school have designed a number of graphical abstracts, with just a few glimpses shown here. A creative journey for researchers and future scholars to broaden their skills, discover new ways to visualise their work, and make it more visible and accessible.

We explored how language shifts across gender, style, and register ✍️ With Dr. Marianna Grachova, we learned how Keyfeature analysis reveals the words and structures that make each variety stand out 🔍

What does it mean to ‘stay’ in a place, and how can sound capture that experience? 🎧 Dr. Dominik Kremer and @andreaswagnr.bsky.social guided us through Tracing Qualities of Stay, exploring voice recordings tied to place and presence.

Today’s keynote is Gavin Brookes on "Corpus linguistics for gender and language research".

One striking example: James Bond’s masculinity is, among other things, constructed through silence (most frequent trigram in the Fleming corpus is "bond said nothing").
