77/365: Arrived at uni to see a cannon in the parking lot and costumed men walking around. Asked one about it, but struggled to understand due to his missing teeth (a common issue in Croatian dialectology 😅). But they were so nice and took a photo with me. 😁

Here is my summary of the “Emerging Linguists” workshop within ÖLT2023 😊

Stereotypes about Kajkavian speakers? NLP tools for language attitude research? Aspect-based sentiment analysis? If any of this sounds interesting to you, join my presentation about ABSA for language attitude research by the example of BCMS @emerginglings within #ölt2023 at 11 AM

Eating (vegan) Viennese Schnitzel in Graz 😅 it was delicious 🤤 #ölt

On my way to the „Österreichische Linguistiktagung“ in Graz, where I will present my research on aspect-based sentiment analysis for BCMS within the emerging linguists workshop. 😊

47/365: I always mocked the language learning scene in „the 13th Warrior“ but 47 days ago, I didn’t know what „slog“, „zvuk” or „glagol” meant. I learned them not by looking them up but through listening and context.

And that feels like ✨magic✨

My academic year in Zagreb is my version of „Eat, pray, love“, but instead, I drink coffee, get tattooed and research language attitudes. If you want to hear my findings for the latter one, join my talk @div-ling.org in July 2024 ☕️
