Looking forward to an amazing programme of applied corpus studies talks at #IVACS2024 starting tomorrow. I will be presenting a new annotated L2 English learner corpus to be released for research purposes by @CambPressAssess this autumn: the Write & Improve Corpus 2024.

Congratulations @StefanoBanno !
What’s the craic, people? My first SLaTe has been a blast! I’ve been waiting for this workshop for so long, and now that it’s over I can’t wait for the next edition. We even won the award for the best paper! Many thanks to the organising committee! 🤩 #SLaTe2023 #Interspeech2023

One of my most fascinating annotation projects of recent years. Can’t wait to hear the results! #annotation for #NLProc #SeriousFun
Looking forward to @emnlpmeeting next week! I'll be presenting this work with @vlachos_nlp and @tomstafford. We annotate (cc @lexicoloco) disagreements on @Wikipedia Talk pages according to the dispute tactics used by speakers, which enables fun analyses and experiments.

Oooh, this looks really interesting! ‘The Language of the English Street Sign’.
Books: The Language of the English Street Sign: This book opens readers’ eyes to something they see all the time but take for granted: street signs. It is a portrait of the signs on modern English streets: what they look like, who and what they are for,… dlvr.it/SMXzBY
