After our very succesful Corpus Linguistics 2025 conference hosted by @robbielove.org at Aston, CL is going on tour! Our next conference will be Easter 2027 in Hong Kong at HK Poly U. In summer 2029 we return to Europe when @michamahlberg.bsky.social will host CL at Erlangen!
This is disgusting. No surprise from the Mail, but still. Utterly disgusting.
After a brilliant week in Glasgow @baal2025.bsky.social, we’re already looking forward to next year’s conference at Aston University! #BAAL2025 ➡️ #BAAL2026 @stephenpihlaja.bsky.social

Can't believe one week has already passed since the end of the @cl2025.co.uk conference. This year, I had the great honor of serving as one of the plenary speakers, giving my talk on AI and corpus linguistics in a really lovely venue. Big thanks to @robbielove.org and all the organisers. #CL2025
@cl2025.co.uk Home after an excellent CL2025 conference where I got to share current research, represent the SCL book series, and reconnect with dear colleagues/friends I’ve known for 20+ years! Huge thanks to the whole organizing team, esp @robbielove.org, and hope to see everyone again soon!!
I loved sharing a plenary on'What counts?' with the ever-brilliant @journolinguist.bsky.social at #CL2025. Not least because it led to some great conversations including two excellent illustrations that are too good not to share further
Excited to have delivered a plenary at @cl2025.co.uk

Home now after a brilliant @cl2025.co.uk conference and reflecting on meeting up with old friends and lots of interesting research talks. Many many thanks to @robbielove.org and all the organisers! #CL2025
Thank you! And thanks so much to you and @journolinguist.bsky.social for your brilliant plenary!
I agree - I’m glad that people felt comfortable enough to discuss/debate/argue, especially because it’s an emotive topic and many feel quite strongly one way or the other. Hope the debate continues.
