It was fascinating to hear about Prof. @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills' work this PM.

Their site contains a range of word association data to investigate the mental lexicon, including semantic dementia & cancer care.

On Wednesday, I'll be giving a talk as part of @swanseauni.bsky.social Language Research Centre's seminar series.

In it, I'll be exploring the political identities constructed by the radical right on Twitter & how #linguistics can help law enforcement tackle extremism & radicalisation.

Really enjoyed (remotely) attending today's #LRC seminar at @swanseauni.bsky.social where @tessf10.bsky.social, @steveabertawe.bsky.social & Dr Theo Mills talked about the #bilingual #lexicon.

It was interesting to hear how closely people's word association answers are across languages.
