Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer doing my research amidst the shimmering glow of lanterns in an old-fashioned library in Prague during a thunderstorm, so I therefore must politely decline your suggestion to “just Google it.”

Looking forward to corpus analyses of new uses of the word "divisive" (now that swastika is a divisive symbol). Reminds me of our work on news describing pick up artists as "controversial" in the context of Julien Blanc sexually assaulting women in broad daylight

New paper out w @davidbritain.bsky.social & T. Blaxter: Using data from 50K speakers, we show that many once-distinctive English regional terms have sharply declined. Even the northern backend for ‘autumn’ now survives only at low rates, mostly among older, less mobile speakers. tinyurl.com/39uy4x5e
