A big part of #RC21 has been fiction. In our new blog post, we use Flexiconc to examine "eyes" in the nonfiction sections of the #BNC.

@aseela.bsky.social & I have a session "Epistemic friendships in/across difference: Rethinking methodologies in urban research" @rc21.bsky.social Vienna 2026
If you're interested in political & epistemological potential of friendships within urban studies/geog, do submit your abstract!
We wouldn't want to pick favourites among #RC21 workshops, but if we did, the #DHSS2025 participants would be tough to beat.
It was great to see such lively discussions during a hands-on concordance analysis exercise that didn't need anything more than a PDF reader.

After the most recent #RC21 talk at #DH2025, the next workshop is already coming up in a couple of weeks: "Reading Concordances: A Training Course in Key Corpus Linguistics Methodology" taught by @schtepf.bsky.social and @michamahlberg.bsky.social as part of #ESSLLI2025!

"The times they are a-changing: a mini-conference on temporal data in DH" programme schedule for a pre-conference event at DH2025
Continuing on the theme of an event-filled summer, #RC21 are excited to present tomorrow on how to analyse concordances to identify temporal trends in water-related political debates – and to hear all the other fantastic talks, of course!

Right after CL2025 #RC21 team we're about to head to CL2040 – time really does fly!

Now that I finally caught a flight to BHX I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s #RC21 workshop at #cl2025. In addition to these two contributions, I will also be talking about bootstrapping, multivariate analysis, legal tech, and comparative discourse studies!
A screenshot of FlexiConc used through a web app. Concordance of "Birmingham" showing common n-grams in literary corpora. The results show that "at Birmingham" is preceded by terms like "outbreak" and "riot", while "to Birmingham" looks more positive.
We're much looking forward to a busy #cl2025 for #RC21: workshop on Sunday and presentation on Thursday!
(Let's skip the riots, though)
Concordance analysis meets syntax and association measures - an #RC21 blog post by Xinyao Lu, who's studying computational linguistics at FAU and used the opportunity to turn his seminar project into a conference contribution!

#RC21 is one of several exciting projects at @dhssfau.bsky.social.
Our tools can show how 19th century English novels talk about education on clic-fiction.com.

Screenshot of a KWICGrouped concordance of eyes in Dickens' novels on "his", "her", "fixed" and "glance" using FlexiConc in the web app CLiC. KWICGrouping ranks the results for "eyes" based on the number of specified search terms they contain. FlexiConc provides additional options to adjust the search criteria.
🗓️ Just over a week before #ICAME46 starts in Vilnius
💻 Catch our talk on June 18 to hear all about our latest extensions to KWICGrouping with FlexiConc

Happening tomorrow!
Corpus queries will also be at the centre of case study 2 in #RC21, where we explore how FlexiConc assists query development and exploration.
✨ After #DHTD2024 and the #RC21 Symposium, here's another opportunity to learn from a wide range of #DH researchers from @dhssfau.bsky.social and guest speakers! #DataGenderSociety #DHSS2025
I also outlined our ongoing work on #RC21:

It's been such a fascinating day at #RC21 I completely forgot to post about it so heres a sunny Erlangen street instead.
Lots of new ideas and new ways of thinking about how we will work with concordances. Super looking forward to trying out the new AntConc and FlexiConc packages
Final talk of an exciting day: Susan Hunston from @unibirmingham.bsky.social explaining the corpus-y definition of construction - all happening at #RC21 @fau.de
Today on Day#2 of #RC21 more on our brand new #FlexiConc - and some of our participants already got it running 👏
All happening @fau.de @rc21project.bsky.social
