We hope to further our understanding of mental health from a pluralistically informed linguistic perspective. Do you want to publish with us? Get in touch!

Unfortunately I don't know. I personally don't have any plans, but if someone has the energy and funding to organize another conference, they can count on me to help them out.

I'll give a 1h workshop at the next English Teachers Association Switzerland conference in Lucerne on February 1st. I'll show how to build a grid that avoids the use of points while mixing summative and formative assessment when evaluating" language production tasks. Interested? Join us 😜

I've just used NotebookLM to turn a PDF of an article into a podcast and it's really cool haha!

Use a corpus linguistics software (AntConc) and generate a word list. Go through the whole list to identify important terms and then you identify the page numbers of where they appear. That's how I would do it. There might be automated softwares though...

DuckDuckGo is a safer way to use Gen-AI in that it doesn't use your prompt to feed the LLM. If you would be open for your students to use Gen-AI tools, I would suggest they use that instead of ChatGPT: duckduckgo.com?q=DuckDuckGo...

You lose the date that you tweeted the message on X. If you have a look at my tweets here on Bluesky you'll see that they now have the same date.

Elvis Coimbra-Gomes @elviscoimbragomes.bsky.social · Dec 8

It basically only migrates your tweets (not re-tweets, likes, etc.). It then also shows you the number of tweets that you originally posted and it simply transfers them. Within 1-2 hours the whole thing was done.

I apologize if you've seen many posts from me for the last 3 hours. I migrated a big part of my Tweets from X to Bluesky. If you'd like to know how to do this, read this: lifehacker.com/tech/use-por...

I want to investigate the use of first person pronoun in academic articles across disciplines for my academic writing course. Can someone point me to a useful corpus or study that provides some statistics on this question?

I haven't had the opportunity to write about OCD for the last 3 years due to other teaching priorities. I finally have time to work on a review chapter about the linguistic research on OCD and the words are just flowing out of my mind like never before 😀

Need help from conversation analysis experts. Would you consider back channeling also to be inserted/side sequences?

Little question about Gricean pragmatics. I get that the non-observance of maxims creates implicature, since interlocutors assume that the cooperative principle is being respected and they make inferences to fill the gap between what is said and what "seems" to be uncooperative.
