Summer days 🌦️ Walk through old town and garden: Japanese rose (Ger. Apfelrose, „apple rose“, after the rosehips - in Japanese, similarly, hamanashi, „beach pear“), chicory (Ger. Wegwarte, „way marker“), and the glorious sunflower (unsurprisingly, Sonnenblume)🌻

The rainy weather has been good for the berry garden: redcurrant (Ger. Johannisbeere, ripe around St. John‘s Day), gooseberry (well-named Stachelbeere „sting berry“), raspberry (Himbeere „hind‘s berry“). All perfect for the summer dish Rote Grütze (berry porridge) - try it! 🍓🥣

Ready, set, go!
Pascual’s promising talk is live now!
#CL2025

At the final #CL2025 plenary, @perez-paredes.bsky.social encourages us to not think of either or AI & corpus linguistics but making the best of both worlds, highlighting e.g. the integration of LLMs into English-corpora.org www.english-corpora.org/ai-llms/

Final day of #cl2025. AI is a big topic today...

Sadly, I’ll miss the end of @cl2025.co.uk as I am heading back to Trier for exam season. It’s been a pleasure & a privilege - so many inspiring talks! Happy that there will be recordings of the plenaries. A last impression of Aston campus (CL might help there, too…) 📚🎓 #cl2025

Charlotte Taylor and Anna Marchi giving a plenary talk.

Plenary slide about counting.

Great plenary by @proftaylor.bsky.social and @journolinguist.bsky.social at #CL2025

Thank you for an inspiring talk! Looking forward to LANA-CASE & hearing about your future work at @usf.edu 📚🎓🌴

Dinner after a long @cl2025.co.uk day at the Bacchus Bar (under the Burlington Arcade) 📚🎓 & enjoying the stunning atmosphere, decor, and food! #cl2025

Customizing my serendipitous Birmingham @cl2025.co.uk souvenir from Peter Forson hat shop in beautiful Great Western Arcade 🎩👒 A flat cap seems just the thing! Not sure what this device is called, though 🤔 #cl2025

Afternoon walk through the city @cl2025.co.uk & doing some #linguisticlandscaping (because how could I not…) 📚🎓 Encountered what, according to reliable humint sources, is the quintessential Brummie phrase & cultural identifier. Any insights, fellow (B’ham?) linguists? #cl2025

It’s mix & match (i.e. running from room to room) for the last @cl2025.co.uk session today 📚🎓 Looking forward to learning why ‘Up’ words are good words 🆙, how to raise the bar on bar charts 📊, and how to tag medieval Scots! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #cl2025

Early afternoon session @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 with talks on science popularization in health matters ⚕️the unique style of false narratives 🎙️and the representation of family and marriage in Japanese newspapers 💍 Missing 21 other papers, just saying… 😭 #cl2025

Ready for the morning sessions @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 This time the choice is easy, with our very own talk on using corpora in the EFL classroom, with Caroline Collet, and talks on data-driven learning in context & teacher development. Still would have liked to see all the others, though! 😬 #cl2025

Takeaway from @hankslizzy.bsky.social ‘s plenary @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 - Conversation is extremely heterogenous & broad, with situational characteristics more or less distinctive; thus, we need to quantitatively evaluate representativeness & use precise language to describe our sample #cl2025

“Any corpus is like the Emerald City - you need to go inside & poke around a bit” 🏰 In her plenary @cl2025.co.uk @hankslizzy.bsky.social takes us along the yellow brick road to LANA-CASE, tackling representativeness: what (register), who (demographics), and how (authenticity) 📚🎓 #cl2025

This could definitely turn into a wonderful relationship 🤩

Sampling the welcome breeze before the afternoon session @cl2025.co.uk Spoilt for choice with seven parallel talks - for me it’s the Methods panel, with talks on children’s storybooks, keyness, and corpus semiotics 📚🎓 #cl2025

Ursula Lutzky (WU Vienna) presents a study on webcare on Twitter across industries @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 The data shows webcare is more than just customer care, including marketing and relationship management, as well as mass (ad) tweets, though strategies vary considerably #cl2025

The first afternoon panel @cl2025.co.uk starts with Sylvia Jaworska @uniofreading.bsky.social & Gerlinde Mautner (WU Vienna) investigating the role of language in business & management scholarship: no linguistic turn yet - neglect or unrequited love? Perhaps a rebrand could help? 📚🎓 #cl2025

First session of the day @cl2025.co.uk with papers by Susanne Kopf (WU Vienna) on corpus-assisted discourse strategies for social-media data and @crkennedy.bsky.social & @markmcglashan.com on corpus linguistic approaches to safeguarding studies 📚🎓 #cl2025

@gavinbrookes.bsky.social utterly satisfying and scarily good keynote #CL2025 so much food for thought it will keep me energized for the whole conference and beyond

„We should remain critical, but also positive“ Final thoughts by @gavinbrookes.bsky.social @cl2025.co.uk - show our data (which means standing up to journals that limit word counts) & reflect on contextual engagement, especially in increasing interactions with other disciplines 📚🎓 #cl2025

Discussing context in corpus linguistic studies is tricky, says @gavinbrookes.bsky.social too — corpora themselves might not always include all the metadata we need. Totally agree; have been working on merging metadata the last month 😃

At @cl2025.co.uk @gavinbrookes.bsky.social argues that though context is complex, corpus linguists need to (and do) engage with it on micro (e.g. multimodality), meso (genre) & macro (discourses) levels. Main challenges: how much & which context to include, data scale & depth 📚🎓 #cl2025

„You’re just number-crunchers, then“ - „It’s like deconstructing coq-au-vin: you can’t taste the food!“ First keynote of @cl2025.co.uk by @gavinbrookes.bsky.social @lancasteruni.bsky.social on the uneasy relationship between corpus linguistics and context 📚🎓

Ready… set… @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 #cl2025

Summer evening @cl2025.co.uk 🎓📚🍺 #cl2025

Walk through Birmingham on the eve of @cl2025.co.uk 📚🎓 - I learned that the city has more canals than Venice & and several beautiful arcades 🛍️ #cl2025
