Seven a.m. and I cannot sleep. Very happy to say that my doctoral defense yesterday went as well as it could.
So, as my co-supervisor put it, I'm now "on the academic market" :D

I think the best part of this (except for my wonderful colleagues and friends, who celebrated me yesterday) is that I may now write about whatever I feel like (after finishing the projects I'm already involved in …)!

So proud of my colleague, brand new Dr. Korobenko, who just defended her thesis about parchment fragments and how it's possible to locate the same writer of these through the mistakes in their handwriting.

Dear and colleagues: In order to help a colleague with a project application that may also help a project I'm involved with, I'm wondering what, if any, arguments there are for -of-speech-tagging as an accessibility feature? Does anyone have an example of how this can help people with non-normative functionalities?
Boosts with other hashtags appreciated.

Farewell to Prague, for now.
Managed to create data visualisations for our climate change project, finish the intro chapter of my thesis and send in a postdoc application (with colleagues). And hold a lecture at the Czech Academy of Sciences. Phew!

Dobrovský was one of the lexicographers of Czech, at the Habsburg times when German was dominating the country. I will spend a few weeks at the to focus on a project about the presence and absence of in Czech tv news.

Corpus Linguistics has been a field that I’m very interested in lately as I find it very useful for conducting forensic linguistics studies. I still need a lot more training on the use of corpora, but here’s a great article on how corpus linguistics can be used for legal interpretation by Römer and Cunningham. @academicchatter @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.

elmerot ,

@eugenia_diegoli
I would interpret the critique of "try" etc as imagining that you are not trying to get work done. Many reviewers get stuck on details like this without being able to convey what they mean. I make sure to always write about my data instead of the language as such, that's how I convey that even my 32 million observations dataset is a sample. Would it be possible to interpret the review comments like this?

@_bydbach_ @linguistics @academicchatter

elmerot ,
@elmerot@mastodon.nu avatar

@eugenia_diegoli
I do believe you bumped into someone extremely detailed. Many synonyms work, but "try" sounds less academic, I guess. Had that kind of reviewers, too. Annoying but may lead to a language more accepted by others, which may be a good thing to get your work spread. Difficult balance act!

@linguistics while (re)reading Pratchett I have developed the strong feeling that when one of the characters says "our Nellie" or "our Jason", the effect is similar to Northern Italian "la Agnese" o "il Gianni" - that is, a colloquialism when referring to a common acquaintance, not necessarily a family member.
Can somebody who speaks both confirm or deny this?

elmerot ,
@elmerot@mastodon.nu avatar

@pgcd
Here is a possibility for you to look the phrase up in three of his book in English, to get a better feeling for the usage. Unfortunately, there are no parallel translations of Pratchett's books into neither French, Italian or Spanish here.

Question about in work: Where does one put the author in citations, in which THE WORK is included in the sentence, as in (a) vs (b) below?

(a) "... which you can find in Chomsky (1981)"
(b) "... which you can find in (Chomsky, 1981)"

@linguistics

@elmerot@mastodon.nu avatar

@tschfflr
With my meek 7 years in academia proper, I'd also go for (a). When I've seen examples of (b), it disturbs my reading much more than (a) does.

Delighted (and a little daunted!) to have just signed the contract for conducting research on ‘s 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 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! @linguistics @academicchatter

@eugenia_diegoli
The answer to "why" is of course "tradition", but new traditions ciuld be created! But another reason is that humanities scholars often discuss our research at seminars when they are work in progress, where more computationally focused ones present their work publically when it's finalized. That may be a reason to use preprint archives.
