Can't believe one week has already passed since the end of the @cl2025.co.uk conference. This year, I had the great honor of serving as one of the plenary speakers, giving my talk on AI and corpus linguistics in a really lovely venue. Big thanks to @robbielove.org and all the organisers. #CL2025

I loved sharing a plenary on'What counts?' with the ever-brilliant @journolinguist.bsky.social at #CL2025. Not least because it led to some great conversations including two excellent illustrations that are too good not to share further

Thank you! And thanks so much to you and @journolinguist.bsky.social for your brilliant plenary!

I agree - I’m glad that people felt comfortable enough to discuss/debate/argue, especially because it’s an emotive topic and many feel quite strongly one way or the other. Hope the debate continues.
