One of the architects of LIWC @ryanboyd.io got in touch about our paper – he’s written this blog post about www.pancakes.wtf/20250110/lan... First we’d like to say that Ryan makes interesting points in his rejoinder and we absolutely welcome this…

My paper with Sylvia Jaworska on methodological triangulation is now out in Applied Corpus Linguistics! We look at how the chosen analytical method affects the identification and labelling of topics in a corpus. How does the amount of available context change interpretation? doi.org/10.1016/j.ac...

After 7 months of post-editing and finalising transcription, my chronic pain corpus is finally ready for corpus analysis! It's been a ride! But so happy to be on it with @mathewgillings.bsky.social and Isolde van Dorst! Now on to analyses and then writing.

A really great paper and the first to offer a systematic deconstruction of LIWC, detailing why it fails to stand up to linguistic scrutiny. A definite must read!

Honoured to receive one of this year’s WU Research Awards for my paper on changing discourses of climate change in the UK press (published w/ Carmen Dayrell). Enjoyed a lovely ceremony last week, even if a little disconcerting seeing myself on the big screen. 😊 academic.oup.com/applij/artic...

New on our blog: Mathew Gillings @mathewgillings.bsky.social explores how expanding concordance lines helps resolve different types of uninterpretable concordances, based on his presentation at our ICAME45 workshop. Read the post here: www.dhss.phil.fau.eu/2024/12/05/r... #RC21 #CorpusLinguistics

Had an enjoyable morning reading through this new discussion piece and its associated commentaries. It does a great job of bringing together the different strands of work and laying out the key criticisms and concerns.

Really great paper here on leave-taking and thanking on buses and how behaviour differs by region (rural/urban), speaker age, gender, etc. Nice to see more work on intra-national variational politeness - well worth a read.

Finally made it over to Bluesky! My corner of X was beginning to feel like a ghost town, so I’m really happy to see friends and colleagues over here growing the community day by day. I could get used to this. 😊
