I believe #ConstructionGrammar has outgrown some of its founding metaphors (slot-fillers; inheritance networks). In this #OpenAccess paper I propose two frame shifts in constructional thought:

Moving Past Slot-Fillers: Balancing English Argument Structure with Fluid Construction Grammar
Constructional approaches view argument structure constructions as grammatical templates with open slots to be filled by verbs and their arguments, organized in an inheritance network. This paper argu...

Over the last 5 years, I proposed more and more retro-definitions of traditional terms. But why am I doing this? Are these definitions driven by their "usefulness"? This new blogpost gives an answer. dlc.hypotheses.org/3975
How useful are retro-definitions for (typological) linguistics? (Maybe not very.)
Like all sciences, linguistics needs technical terms, and we generally treat the grammatical terms that we inherited from our ancestors (such as syllable, affix, compound, dative, imperative, subordin...

Coming soon - Turner & Hoffmann on Creative Construction Grammar. In this, we argue that the domain-general process of Conceptual Blending is the cognitive operation that combines constructions. BTW this will be published open access!

Just finished reviewing @grambelli.bsky.social's book (available soon): a clear and engaging synthesis of the major strands of work on compositionality, analogy, and usage, while pushing #ConstructionGrammar toward a more explicit engagement with processing and computation. Highly recommended!

The astronomical investments currently poured into #LLM development is a rehash of the Post-Bloomfieldian fallacy that led to the downfall of American structuralism in the 1950/. #AI doesn’t need more compute, it needs more science

One of the great mysteries of #language is how it finds a balance between robust stability and endless flexibility. I believe this requires us to rethink #linguistic structures. In this article, I propose dynamic #tensegrity as a novel architectural metaphor

OpenAI en co. spelen met miljarden dollars als waren het knikkers. En dat op basis van een technologie die vooral verlies maakt. OpenAI heeft een overweldigende 1,4 biljoen dollar nodig om de vereiste datacenters te bouwen. Wie zal dat betalen? En wie is erbij gebaat?

arXiv will no longer accept review articles and position papers unless they have been accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review.

This is due to being overwhelmed by a hundreds of AI generated papers a month.

Yet another open submission process killed by LLMs.

Very happy to announce the new Anthology for Computers and the Humanities! 🎉

Inspired by the wonderful ACL Anthology, this is an open, accessible, centralized repository for papers at different workshops, conferences, and related venues. All thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social!

As DH grows, it’s increasingly important to publish conference papers, but there hasn’t been a clear venue for that.

So I’m thrilled to share this new home for DH proceedings, which will include CHR papers & more.

Thanks to @taylor-arnold.bsky.social for leading this effort!
