The 3rd paper related to my PhD is out! 🥳
It's published in Applied Corpus Linguistics and I explore a new way of combining corpus linguistics and cartography to profile (forensic) authorship, drawing on geolocated social media data to uncover regional language patterns.

A bit late, but maybe still interesting. If you'd like to check for any cat words in the top 20k words of the corpus, have a look here: danaroemling.shinyapps.io/shiny_mapping/ - "katze" (eng. cat) is definitely in there 😁

Thank you! Very excited about this! 😁

Dana Roemling @danaroemling.bsky.social · Jan 30

It’s open access. I recommend using the pdf (not the website) as you can then just copy+paste the code.

My paper with @bodowinter.bsky.social and @jwgrieve.bsky.social was published in the Journal of Linguistic Geography today. 🎉
It’s a tutorial on how to use R & ggplot2 to visualise linguistic map data.

Excellent closing to the @24drdhum.bsky.social conference reflecting on digital humanities at this point in time and that language is not the same as data.

Thank you for having me! Always excited to tell people about the cool stuff that‘s happening in FL 😊

Many thanks to @danaroemling.bsky.social for their lecture on forensic authorship analysis as part of my Language and the Law module this morning. It's always a pleasure to hear them present! Forensic dialectology in particular is such a cool subject; I hope the students know how lucky they are.

If you want to hear Lucia and me talk about the CorGeS, join us later today :)

Here’s what the other talks were about: Antti talked about the initial turns by the police (what are you supposed to answer when they say “Police!”?..)

Helmi about the distinguishing features of texts written by human subjects and Gen Ai

And Dana about geolinguistic profiling using Finnish Twitter

Many thanks to Dana Roemling and Helmi Siiroinen for organising a panel on forensic linguistics in Finland. Although I can hardly claim to be a part of the body of Finnish language researchers, it was great to hear about what others do and to share a bit of international experience #AFinLa
