A clear case of an indirect #speechact 👉
Me very kindly taking my sister to the station by car, despite having better things to do on a Sunday morning. My sister: “Are you tired? Do you want me to drive?”. Real meaning: “You suck at driving please let me do it” @linguistics #linguistics

@Rainer_Rehak @linguistics the “assumption of intent” is tricky indeed! In this case specifically, I know my sister very well and, to be fair, driving is not my thing :)

“Playing” with a subcorpus extracted from a larger Q&A web corpus. I wanted to do some KW analysis, but the potential reference corpora at my disposal were too different to allow for any meaningful comparison - they foregrounded differences in mode/genre. Then it came to me that the best corpus to compare it with may be a second subcorpus from the very same dataset. Meaningful differences can indeed stand out only against a background of sameness. @linguistics

I’ve recently received a peer review overall positive and very informative, but critising precisely my use of the verbs “to try” and “to attempt” because, according to the reviewer, “not adequate in academic writing”. Here’s a reminder of why we should value transparency and why framing our methods in terms of attempts and intentions can actually be a good thing.

@_bydbach_ @linguistics @academicchatter Exactly, within corpus linguistics the point is precisely that even the biggest and most balanced corpus is always a sample. This ofc does not mean that’s not worth studying it, or that we can’t generalise from it, but simply that being aware of its (and our) limitations is part of the story

@eugenia_diegoli@sciences.social avatar

@elmerot @_bydbach_ @linguistics @academicchatter As I understood it, their point was that using verbs like “try” gives the impression I’m not confident in my analysis. This said, I always appreciate the time and effort reviewers put in reading and commenting on my stuff

Writing something on of communication and linguistic . Some of the questions I’d like to explore are: how do ideologies construe and are reinforced by online metadiscourses around linguistic mistakes? Do users negotiate/problematise/resist dominant ideologies? How do ideologies relate to ?
Reading suggestions appreciated.

In 2022 I was invited to contribute to an edited collection that was supposed to come out within the year. That obv didn’t happen, and I still don’t have a prospective publication date. I feel so frustrated and I regret not sending the piece to a journal. Anyone else with a similar experience? @academicchatter

@Coocho @academicchatter I guess it’s good news it eventually got published in the end but NINE YEARS is an awful amount of time!

@ericsfraga @academicchatter Again, an awful amount of time! Not sure I’m willing to wait 5 years for mine to see the light 😂

@_bydbach_ @academicchatter thank you Rita is nice to hear the other side!! I guess what’s bothering me the most is the total absence of updates and explanations from the editor

Nothing that hasn’t already been said in since theory, but can’t resist resharing something on public

@academicch @psychology @linguistics Interesting the bit arguing that public apologies may be doomed from the start. Also, I wasn’t aware of the taxonomy of apology strategies in psychology, but it looks to me it resembles very closely the one proposed in linguistics by Blum-Kulka and colleagues.

The #CADScamp23 came to a close today. Three days of talks, hands-on sessions and informal knowledge sharing. I loved every second of it and feel extremely humbled and grateful. The stunning view of Bertinoro was the cherry on the cake!

Check out the #Corpora #Linguistics Technology (#CoLiTec ) Centre website for related upcoming events, some of which are online and open to everyone

Delighted (and a little daunted!) to have just signed the contract for conducting research on #Hoey ‘s #LexicalPriming theory and its application to Japanese at the University of Bologna! It’s rather a leap from (im)politeness, but all the more exciting. Any reading suggestions on previous studies on the topic are more than welcome

Anyone familiar with previous studies on #laughter in written online communication?Everything from emoji (😂) to textual representation of laughter sounds (haha)! All I can find examines (co-present) laughter almost exclusively as a by-product of humour. Thank you! #academicchatter #academicmastodon @linguistics @academicchatter

Letter of Intent from BRILL has come through 😍
In the process that led to the book proposal I found “From dissertation to book” (W. Germano) incredibly helpful. Any advice on how to make a #book out of your dissertation? Reading suggestions? Survival skills needed? #academicchatter @academicchatter @linguistics

I finally submitted what I hope is the final version of my application for the fellowship, which is basically everything I’ve been doing since I’ve received my PhD in June. Now the real challenge begins: waiting and dealing with uncertainty 😂 Anyone else applying for funding under the MSCA? @academicchatter @mscactions

Hi, @hello, what would you say is best to refer to an article that has been admitted, reviewed, returned, and waiting for the journal to be published: forthcoming or in press?

For context, I work in a languages department in the US. And I have seen different ways of using “forthcoming,” from an accepted paper to a simply drafted project.

@gonzalo @hello @academicchatter I use forthcoming for accepted papers :)

It seems to me that very few people in and in general (with the exception of ) use preprint services. Why is it so? Does anyone here use preprints? And if so, what archives do you use? Boosters appreciated 🙏
@corpuslinguistics @linguistics @academicchatter @academicsunite

@eugenia_diegoli@sciences.social avatar

@vaclavh @corpuslinguistics @linguistics @academicchatter @academicsunite I use HAL, people there are quite responsive and it allows you to automatically transfer the file to arXiv, although I’ve never done it because it doesn’t look like arXiv has a domain relevant to my field (?). Anyway thanks for the feedback, I agree very few people in linguistics seems to bother with preprints. Personally I find them very helpful

eugenia_diegoli,
@eugenia_diegoli@sciences.social avatar

@elmerot @corpuslinguistics @linguistics @academicchatter @academicsunite @researchdatamanagement Agreed, but we could also benefit from an early dissemination of research findings
