Happy to say that “Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies”, my Cambridge Element written with @GerlindeMautner and @_paulbaker_, has just been released! It’s available to download for free from @CambridgeUP until 4th April, and available in print from late May: doi.org/10.1017/978100…
Accountability in corpus linguistics: A proposed framework and new tools for analysis #SydneyCorpusLab blog post sydneycorpuslab.com/accountability…
All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s). Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable! One of the coolest results in linguistics.
Really great to have had @JanaDcl at @wu_vienna for a few days, both to work on a joint project and deliver an interdisciplinary talk on the language of chronic pain. Thanks for joining us!
A nice start to the day: thanks @tamsinparnell for your lovely review! Glad you enjoyed and found it useful. 😊

Today's the 120th anniversary of a key moment in the history of English honorifics. On Nov. 10, 1901, the Springfield (Mass.) Sunday Republican suggested that "a void in the English language" may be filled by "Ms." (pronounced "Mizz") as an alternative to "Miss" or "Mrs." 🧵 1/13
Just read this great paper by Fang Xie which builds on our work in variational politeness and this time looks at trends across the UK, Aus, and HK. Further evidence that politeness is linked w/ urbanisation (but moderated by pragmatic transfer). link.springer.com/article/10.100…
There’s a real buzz in our department this week: @LancasterGhana’s Emmanuel Arthur & Patrick Amfo Anim are here as part of our Erasmus exchange. Enjoyed two great lectures, one focusing on Ghana’s HE landscape, the other on language and communication in the country. 🇬🇭

AI tools are getting so powerful. Today, I created an AI-powered podcast, where two AI robots discuss three of the main tools of #AntConc, using only the official help guide as a source. It's not perfect, but still quite fascinating. See what you think. shows.acast.com/laurence-antho…
An incredible experience #aacl2024 at the Univ. of Oregon!! Absolutely enjoyed discussing annotation of the learner spoken corpus #TLC and catching up with @mathewgillings Isolde van Dorst @NiallRCurry @GavinBrookes26
Arrived in Eugene, Oregon yesterday for the start of #AACL2024! 🇺🇸 Looking forward to discussing two papers this trip: one later today on examining impoliteness formulae via CQP queries, and one tomorrow on comparing different approaches to topic identification. 💻
We're delighted to share the first talk in this new academic year's research seminar series - given by online by Marta Andersson and Dan McIntyre on September 24th from 14:00-16:00. Please sign up and find more details via this link: eventbrite.co.uk/e/can-chatgpt-…
I feel the need to reshare this PSA about Gricean Maxims. I swear I am constantly encountering experts in language & communication who misinterpret Grice. And to be fair that’s entirely Grice’s own fault
PSA the Gricean Maxims are not rules that we routinely follow or should expect other people to follow. They are generalizations that underly an interpretative logic for interaction that allows us to generate meaning when people flout them, which we/others do all the time!
To my friends & colleagues in the USA: please consider submitting your spoken conversations to the compilation of a new dataset! The @LANA_corpus team are especially looking for males aged 40+, but are open to all. As a bonus, it's paid pretty well too. 🇺🇸 sites.google.com/view/share-you…
Calls: IPrA 2025 Panel: "(Im)politeness: Regional variation": Call for Papers: (Im)politeness: Regional variation (organized by Jonathan Culpeper, Mathew Gillings, Isolde van Dorst) A relatively recent development within pragmatics has been the evolution… dlvr.it/TBh6tL
