Corpus Linguists!
Would you care to share your favourite paedagogical article / chapter, relating to how to use corpus linguistics to teach a foreign language? I have pieces by O'Keefe, @ElenLeFoll and Mahlberg already, but I'm new to this topic, so all help appreciated. @corpuslinguistics @linguistics #pedagogy #DataDrivenEducation
@corpuslinguistics@linguistics@elmerot I’m at the dentist right now (fun, hey) but will try to remember to give you some pointers when I get home to my Zotero database.

Final stages before submitting a manuscript and getting angry with the journal's citation style that's APA7-but-not-quite-in-a-number-of-small-petty-ways. Checked the #Zotero stylesheet repository and found that a kind soul has already uploaded a stylesheet for that journal! 🙏 Unfortunately, it was created when the journal had their specially petty version of APA6 so I need to edit it. Okay, fine. And that's how I found that "the kind soul" happens to have exactly the same name as me! 😅 🙈
Doing some research, so using sci-hub. How do academic authors agree to let themselves be locked up behind a paywall? I almost feel like I should not cite them to punish them for the short-sightedness of the choice.
Okay, here we go! Giving social media another try with #Mastodon since I started to miss the academic community that social media used to provide for me.
I'm Nele, a #linguistics postdoc at the University of Oslo, working on the language of fake news in English. I'm also affiliated with Lund University through my work on the London–Lund Corpus 2 and spoken language.
That's (mainly) what I'll be posting about. Here we go again!
