AAAL2025 has started! We had a presentation from the ComplEExity Project this morning and Terry nailed it! Such a blessing to team up with these fabulous corpus linguists! @tovelarsson.bsky.social Henrik Kastari, Ying Wang. #extramuralenglish meets #corpuslinguistics

I'm thrilled to have passed my dissertation defense and to have accepted a job as an assistant professor at USF 🎉 Thanks to everyone for the support, especially my committee: @jesse-egbert.bsky.social (co-chair), @tovelarsson.bsky.social (co-chair), Doug Biber, @tonymcenery.bsky.social, Randi Reppen

You just keep on impressing me, being the amazing scholar and person that you are. 💫 It’s been so wonderful working with you.

Most of our commonly used statistical techniques in CL only help us identify differences between groups. But what if we instead want to empirically test whether two groups are similar/practically equivalent?

This was a really interested paper to work on. And we’re really happy that it has led to more discussion about how important it is that we approach our data as linguists (i.e. that we’re safeguarding a focus on language, even in highly quantitative analyses where we use advanced stats).

The 9th most downloaded Corpora article is "On the status of statistical reporting versus linguistic description in corpus linguistics: a ten-year perspective" by @tovelarsson.bsky.social, @jesse-egbert.bsky.social and Doug Biber. www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/...

Both secondary research (e.g. metaanalyses) and replication studies are focused on the goal of establishing what we know. But what about new primary studies? Is it possible to also base those on a foundation of cumulative knowledge?
