I really enjoy being part of this network - a supportive atmosphere and nice mix of research interests.

Wheeee happy #wintersolstice, northern hem friends 🖤

Incredibly cool!

Always fascinating to hear from Emma Tennent about the politics of naming behind these important interactions. Here she focuses on naming violence, and in the past we've both discussed the conceptual problems behind naming "barriers" to reporting domestic abuse. #LboroCADay24

Really enjoying dipping into #LboroCADay24 between teaching today. FOMO, as always with virtual attendance (especially when cakes are involved!). Now, Ann Weatherall is taking us through some lovely data from charity shop encounters to show the interplay of transactional and social talk.

December is relentless, so it was hard to drag myself away from the laptop this Weds for our staff-student meet-up at Bristol Christmas Market. But! It was a brilliant evening of silliness and non-academic chat (albeit with a smattering of schwa-related humour 👀)... Exactly what the doctor ordered 🧘‍♀️

Thank you for the lovely words!

How many more language degree programmes will be axed? Even with AI, or especially with AI, we need linguists. How many single or combined major language degrees are still being taught at UK universities? Monolingualism is detrimental to society.

Thanks! I have since considered drawings, but back then in the complexity of data access, it was a bridge too far (e.g. I only had 24 hours' access to the first batch of footage). I do have some anonymised screenshots of the second batch which I aim to convert into sketches, when I figure out how..

Hello, Bluesky ⛅️ Great to connect with some old and new faces! Thanks to the lovely folks at @languageonthemove.bsky.social, I can simply repost the below for anyone interested in my research on the language of #domesticabuse policing👇 The paper we discuss is here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

For anyone interested in social justice, inequality, migration, and how language comes into play, this is a must follow.

Hey #EMCA and #ConversationalAI folk, I’m doing an online talk tomorrow in which I’ll discuss the intersection of these two things (for healthcare conversations).
Sorry it’s short notice, but all welcome!
(Time shown is CET)

Looking forward to it!
