Oh, and a related talk too from last week, kindly recorded by @bcbl.bsky.social, in which I analyze ANNs when used as scientific instruments of study and when functioning as emergent arbiters of the zeitgeist in the cognitive, computational, and neural sciences.

Alles ist nervig, aber ich schreibe gerade den Teil von #Syntagma um, indem man sich von einer Mittelfeldmaus-Wachtruppe durch den Schwindelerregenden Schwurbelpass helfen lässt. Sicher sind nur Wege mit besetztem Mittelfeld! Vielleicht ist also doch nicht alles nervig. 🐲

We move from Dutch to French – Suzanne Lesage, Justine Salvatori (U Fribourg) present experimental evidence of of the Degree Expressed by Intensifiers in French-Speaking Switzerland. We’re excited to have an experimental view after many corpus-based talks!

Beware of the stereotype Categories, Generalizations and Clichés in Journalistic Language and Journalism Practice

For all linguists interested in stereotyping, generic language use and the language-media interface: our colleagues at the Brussels Institute for Journalism Studies will be hosting a conference on these topics in December.
Worth a visit also for the venue (the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren).

Druk druk druk? Als je het echt druk hebt zeg je dat niet drie keer! Next up is @nordemuriel.bsky.social (HU Berlin) on three as the new two: Dutch retriplication and discusses whether this is intensification or downtoning
