Just returned from #IAWE26_Giessen full of inspiration! A superb experience, especially as a full day was allocated to our sessions on #world #Englishes in the #Arab #Gulf #states (chapters in Kay Gallagher's edited book). @annamariedillon.bsky.social @drmvdhoven.bsky.social @zabanwala.bsky.social
Day #1 at #IAWE26_Giessen. Excellent plenaries and individual sessions. Great to be with friends and colleagues from the Gulf again! #world #Englishes
"Whose English is perceived as adding value?
The stakes of this linguistic #bias in favour of mainstream English become even higher when #AI systems are deployed around the world."

Just read a funny post from an Irish friend of mine how she had to translate a phrase ‘for ages’ to an American while boarding a plane in Dublin.
If there are any Americans seeing this - do you understand what this phrase means? Would you ever use it yourself?

Not only is this cool for doing-linguistic-science reasons, the maps built on the data are also a potentially useful resource for translators, interpreters, editors working with speakers from Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland.
