Listening to this great #EnglishGrammarDay presentation by @zarashah.bsky.social and @hwimbushenglish.bsky.social on the power that comes from understanding how language works - may all our children encounter such enlightened teachers!
Now at #EnglishGrammarDay @bethmalory.bsky.social on stigma and agency in media discourse around mpox and monkeypox
Also he provided a great introduction to the Linguistic Olympiad - find out more here #UKLO

At #EnglishGrammarDay @billylinguist.bsky.social causes confusion and self doubt by asking what we would call a small Wug 🐦 - I don't think there is a consensus!
On my way to London for a day of listening to cool people talk about cool language things. What better way to start the week!

Quick reminder that the ICAME journal is available open access (for everybody): icame.info/icame-journal/ #ICAME46 📚
Short-form videos served from an algorithm are an evolving genre, changing how people talk in them compared to earlier forms of video, and linguists are on it!
In this episode we talk with Adam Aleksic aka @etymology.substack.com.web.brid.gy about the linguistics of tiktok
I've been really wondering about these! How serious a problem is it that they have signs everywhere?!
sorry if I forgot tagging anyone for their #ICAME46 presentation 😅 Trying to make amends as you can see...
How have I missed this amazing bathroom decor at #ICAME46 until now?!
We should open a CL-inspired on-demand t-shirt store....
Put it on a t-shirt 😁
Kicking off a long afternoon of talks at #ICAME46 with Tanja Säily on the rise of big data in historical corpus linguistics, focusing on how LLMs can help with corpus metadata
"disruptive but rational" was one of their descriptions - could be usefully applied as a motto in all sorts of situations! #ICAME46
Lukas Sönning's beautiful #ICAME46 slides can be found at: osf.io/fr476/ lots of important take-aways for effective (and aesthetic) data visualization!
Chairing this morning so no #ICAME46 updates from me. Lots of great papers though!
I feel like there is a very small number of people doing a lot of #ICAME46 updating on here 😅
Dismantling the social order, one goat latte at a time ✊
A more modern, but still elegant, room hosts a talk by @anteangaeile.bsky.social and Gerold Schneider on the language of the political right (what joy) at #ICAME46
My favourite line from #ICAME46 so far: "linguists can also be fanatic about something". It's a curse and a blessing! 😁
It's all happening at #ICAME46! A whole day dedicated to speech acts in a beautiful venue, doesn't get much better than that 😊
There's still time to send an abstract to our conference - deadline May 31. Full details at eurocall-languages.org/events/genai...
