impressions of Vilnius, including the conference boat tour
Throwback to June: our Department was represented at ICAME46 in Vilnius with three talks by Oriana Yim, Lea Kryveli Chrysanthopoulou and @dlandert.bsky.social on Early Modern English, health communication, and improv theater. Thanks to the #ICAME46 team for a wonderful conference!
Probably not a good strategy to post this late at night, but I'm very happy that updated slides and complete R notebooks for my ICAME46 and CL2025 talks on Bootstrapping Keywords and Collocations are finally available on OSF. Share and enjoy! osf.io/x82cz/ @cl2025.co.uk #ICAME46

Missing these "unexpectedly amazing" #ICAME46 moments but looking forward to talking more about register evolution, how we (re)conceptualize situation, how language adapts, and what that helps us learn about ourselves as a culture at #CL2025 this week!

Last week at #ICAME46 in Vilnius, Rosa Lorés and Daniel Pascual shared their latest on expert-audience interaction, explanatory strategies, and digital practices — all within the scope of the #SciDis project.
📸 Here are some snapshots from @rosalores.bsky.social's plenary:

Of course, the most prominent embodied site for love is the heart, even in the BNC #ICAME46

What about transcription quality in the BNC1994? Sebastian Hoffmann plays "pea shooter" as an example (actually "facelift"). Last plenary at #ICAME46

sorry if I forgot tagging anyone for their #ICAME46 presentation 😅 Trying to make amends as you can see...
because I'm terrible at tagging people here on Bsky, here's a non-exhaustive list of people active at #ICAME46:
Daria Dayter @coocho.bsky.social
Rachele de Felice @racheledf.bsky.social
Patricia Ronan @anteangaeile.bsky.social
Daniela Landert @dlandert.bsky.social
Tanja Säily @tanjasaily.fi
#icame46 Sinkūniene cites a study about “impact speak”, a genre in which there is no room for simply good researchers - similarly to what @amreibahr.bsky.social recently wrote about Spitzenforscher vs ‘the mountain’ behind them
I was not expecting to be tearing up at #ICAME46 today but hearing Alessia tell us about her efforts to change how the media talks about rape just about did it 🥲
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
Christian Langerfeld & Gisle Andersen's investigation of interruptions in a corpus of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings shows that in this setting interruptions aren't a sign of anarchy & disruption but help driving the deliberations forward #ICAME46
Marianna Gravecha (with D. Keller & J. Egbert as co-authors) presenting a neat study on register development at #ICAME46: how did blogs develop from the late nineties to now? Increased features related to stance & present orientedness + a decrease in information density & passive/abstract discourse
Alessia Tranchese on rape discourses in the press and their temporal development: distinguishing between consistent (law&order&crime), terminating (politics, the world, warfare), and initiating (media&communication) semantic fields #ICAME46
Morning keynote at #ICAME46 today: Rosa Lorés on digital science communication and how it needs to deal with "unpredictable audiences" by creating a dual/hybrid voice focusing on both expertise & engagement @intergediuz.bsky.social
