Finally made it to Kartoffelheld, the newest addition to our town‘s culinary landscape 😋🥔 Great food/superhero-themed menu - my „Bratblitz Würstenwind” loaded potato went perfectly with the late autumn vibes outside 🍂🍁

St Martin is back on this damp and chilly early November evening: horseback centurion in red cloak, kids with self-made lanterns, a brass band, and a huge bonfire in the old town 🎺🔥

Is it a good or a bad thing that nothing much has changed here in the more that 30 years since I was a student? Now for my Sociolinguistics lecture I take some time to appreciate the splendid 50s design, including the quaint cubicle where the lecturers can get in the zone 😄🎓

More apple picking (for storage), with an interested equine audience 🐴 All heritage varieties (from top): ‚Grüner Boskoop‘, (green, tasty & durable), ‚Kaiser Wilhelm‘ (sweet, traces of raspberry), ‚Roter Boskoop‘, (red) ‚Goldrenette von Blenheim‘ (complex, spicy taste) 🍎🍏🍎

Busy day making apple juice in the local apple press run by the town’s Orchard and Gardening Co-op. Apples are washed and pressed, the juice pasteurised (we keep some raw juice back for cider-making 🍺), then filled into 5 litre bags. 500 litres should last a while! 🍎🍏🍎

Apple harvest on Unity Day weekend ⛅️ Record crop this year, with almost 1000 kg for juice alone (our 80-year old trees carry amazingly tasty heritage varieties such as ‚Rheinischer Bohnapfel’ and ‚Kaiser Wilhelm‘), and half the trees still ripe for storage apple picking 🍎🍏🍎

At the local Amtsgericht (county court) today, built in 1912 when our town was a county seat in the Imperial Prussian Province of the Rhine. Admiring the grand architecture while waiting. A bit of a daunting atmosphere (intentionally, I think) but nice to see it still in use ⚖️🏛️

Calls: Digital P(a)lates: The Language of Online Food Practices
2nd Call for Papers:
The performance of food has become ubiquitous in the digital realm, where we find content saturated with all things culinary, gustatory, and gastronomic. From food porn images to restaurant reviews, from what-I-eat-in-a-day-videos to cooking shows, from mukbang to forum posts with food advice – people negotiate and display their food practices online, to be consumed and regurgitated by others via their digital devices. This is often based on co-occurring linguistic perfor

Late summer in the apple orchard - looks to be a good harvest! 🍎🍏🍎 Summer apples Gravensteiner & James Grieve (lower left) are ready for apple pie and cider, autumn Kaiser Wilhelm & Croncels (upper left) still very tart, winter Boskop red & green (right) coming along nicely

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! 🍓🥣

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/
English Corpora: most widely used online corpora. Billions of words of data: free online access
Compare genres, dialects, time periods. Search by PoS, collocates, synonyms, and much more.
