Kiitos paljon (i think 😅)!

Vielen Dank:)

My current Finnish level: "Vihreä velho on lehmä. Se etsii jotain syötävää." (The green wizard is a cow. It is looking for something to eat.)

Fortunately, there'll be opportunities to improve: starting a postdoc with TurkuNLP in September, to work on digital linguistics & web language variation 🇫🇮

Thank you, Dasha! 🙂

Thank you both – that's a remarkable quota indeed!

Thank you!
I didn't, luckily enough. I went to Promotionsbüro the next day. Turned out I had to go back *again* because I'd overlooked the part of the Promotionsordnung requiring a German title on English theses 🫠 So ended up successful at the third attempt to submit.

Thank you!

To the approximately zero people who were eagerly waiting for Bluesky updates about this:

Both internal reviews of my dissertation recommend summa cum laude 🙂

External review and defense are ahead, but still very happy today.

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

How can mixed-skill classrooms be designed effectively?

This workshop discusses practical approaches in Digital Humanities teaching.

Graphical abstract for "Regular Expressions for Corpus Queries" (Dykes & Tauber, 2026). Title: "Translating linguistic patterns into corpus queries." A table demonstrates how a linguistic research question: "Which actions are explained in terms of someone's underlying reasons?", is translated into a CQL query. Colour coding links linguistic patterns (red), query syntax (grey/bold), and corpus results (red italics). The top row shows the linguistic pattern components: possessive, optional adjective or adverb, reason-word, linker, and verb. The middle row shows the corresponding CQL query: [pos="POSS"] [pos="ADJ|ADV"]? "reason|rationale" "for|to" [pos="V"]. The bottom three rows show example corpus results: "my reason for asking," "her only rationale to go," and "their main reason to pivot."

Does anyone have any impressions about how common it is for academic journals to publish articles that sort of examine the field itself? I don’t mean reviews here. #linguistics #AcademicSky
