So, Mrs Turtle and I have been hanging out in Camley Street Nature Reserve, 3 minutes from the Eurostar check-in, but a world away. Because that is sort of our challenge on #ContinentHop24 - to get a world away. Or at least, to get to another continent in 24 hours solely by surface public transport.

Correct, not yet. This is not supported yet in PyMUSAS so I could only set it up first for the English pipeline.

Exciting news: there'll be a wmatrix & PyMUSAS workshop at @cl2025.co.uk in Birmingham on 29th June run by me, @johnvidler.co.uk and Daisy Lal including discussions about open source software and #corpuslinguistics #CL2025

There's an explanation of the key differences (including much larger corpora & multilingual analysis in #wmatrix version 7) here: ucrel-wmatrix7.lancaster.ac.uk If you are a #wmatrix V5 user, then you should save your data and reload it into the new version. V5 is expected to be retired next month.

After a soft launch in the last couple of weeks, #wmatrix version 7 is now completely freely available worldwide for academic users plus UK government and NHS email addresses. This is the largest revision of the software since it was created 25 years ago: ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/wmatrix/
