Five grant applications in the pipeline before New Year's, the first decision was a “no”. Or, rather, the reviewers treated it like a “revise and resubmit” but we'll see if we have the energy. Ah, well, four to go.

Forever glad this service exists (even if it uses Amsterdam Zuid instead of Centraal), long gone are the days of relying solely on Eurostar for the fasts between the Netherlands and Belgium…

With that, it’s time I headed back to the UK 🫡

Our book 'Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare' is out open access! We wrote it to share what we learnt in many years of research in @corpussocialsci.bsky.social, on topics such as communication about anxiety, dementia, cancer, obesity and vaccines. cambridgeblog.org/2025/08/appl...

Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare

This book has been fun and also somewhat liberating to write. To explain this we have to tell the story of how the book came about.

Hlasy Čechů ze Západní Evropy se v letošních volbách přičtou k Moravskoslezskému kraji – tradičně levicově/populisticky laděnému. Pro liberálně smýšlející voliče dilema: Piráti nebo STAN? V MS kraji jsou oba slabí (max 1 mandát?), ale Piráti vypadají jako jistější volba?

A lot of talk about copyright at the moment because of the Anthropic stuff so just a quick reminder that Taylor & Francis journals will ask you to relinquish copyright by default but if you just click 'no' their system automatically goes "oh okay then".
