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!

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!

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
105: Linguistics of TikTok - Interview with Adam Aleksic aka EtymologyNerd
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

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
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

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 😊

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

Asked Gemini to make up some Star Wars jokes. I think humans are still winning this one.
