Participants learned a great deal by using a powerful digital tool like Clic to analyze #gender in #19th-century #fiction with concordance analysis, all run by Dr. Nathan Dykes @nfdykes.bsky.social.

We wouldn't want to pick favourites among #RC21 workshops, but if we did, the #DHSS2025 participants would be tough to beat.

It was great to see such lively discussions during a hands-on concordance analysis exercise that didn't need anything more than a PDF reader.
Now @nfdykes.bsky.social is setting out to make connections between close & distant reading

We‘ve kept the best for last at #cl2025: @nfdykes.bsky.social shows how our research in @rc21project.bsky.social enables analysts to read concordances at scale using FlexiConc and neural sentence embeddings.

In the first part of the "Reading concordances with algorithms" workshop, @schtepf.bsky.social introduces us to her favourite concordance ☕

Now that I finally caught a flight to BHX I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s #RC21 workshop at #cl2025. In addition to these two contributions, I will also be talking about bootstrapping, multivariate analysis, legal tech, and comparative discourse studies!
We're much looking forward to a busy #cl2025 for #RC21: workshop on Sunday and presentation on Thursday!

(Let's skip the riots, though)
