Unfortunately I don't know. I personally don't have any plans, but if someone has the energy and funding to organize another conference, they can count on me to help them out.

I've just used NotebookLM to turn a PDF of an article into a podcast and it's really cool haha!

Use a corpus linguistics software (AntConc) and generate a word list. Go through the whole list to identify important terms and then you identify the page numbers of where they appear. That's how I would do it. There might be automated softwares though...

You lose the date that you tweeted the message on X. If you have a look at my tweets here on Bluesky you'll see that they now have the same date.

It basically only migrates your tweets (not re-tweets, likes, etc.). It then also shows you the number of tweets that you originally posted and it simply transfers them. Within 1-2 hours the whole thing was done.

I want to investigate the use of first person pronoun in academic articles across disciplines for my academic writing course. Can someone point me to a useful corpus or study that provides some statistics on this question?

I haven't had the opportunity to write about OCD for the last 3 years due to other teaching priorities. I finally have time to work on a review chapter about the linguistic research on OCD and the words are just flowing out of my mind like never before ๐Ÿ˜€

Little question about Gricean pragmatics. I get that the non-observance of maxims creates implicature, since interlocutors assume that the cooperative principle is being respected and they make inferences to fill the gap between what is said and what "seems" to be uncooperative.

Does anyone know an accessible text that summarizes the concepts used in 3rd๐ŸŒŠ variation in the construction of identity (indexical orders, fields, personae)? I'd like my students to think about these concepts in relation to the claim "I'm so OCD". @Christianilbury
