And these are the types of tools I have not seen implemented yet elsewhere (outside of R). So, if your goal is to do corpus work, you have to certainly work outside of ELAN, or use it as a tool in a workflow.

Danielle Barth’s corpus fieldwork course at the LSA summer institute this past summer was quite good. The workflow was primarily within R. However, when actually doing corpus linguistics, you need to do a LOT of post-processing between ELAN export and a clean R version.

I use ELAN for transcription and searching across my corpora for examples. I never bother with annotation in it (and there are no tools for annotating fusional tonal morphology either, so it’s useless for me to try). When I find examples, I export to excel.

The CPB has to agree to revive their contract with NPR, meaning that it opens the rest of their lawsuits against the federal government for violating 1st amendment rights. Things may get re-funded.

(We shouldn’t be surprised that the E.O. was illegal, fwiw.)

You're an ineffective leader who apparently believes he should find consensus with a party unwilling to compromise on anything. Where we need strong leadership, you offer only weakness. Your idea of politics died 30 years ago but unfortunately you are still in office. Resign.

I feel like this is ok as long as the bottom of your boots are not touching the place where someone will sit. If it’s like “everything but the sole” then it’s less germful.

Worse is watching a film or television show where someone lays on a bed in their shoes. I’m like “I have lost all respect for you."

In theory, I suppose this works. In reality, my experience is that people only want to collaborate when it’s about something that’s theoretically novel or where the modeling dominates. I do a lot of empirical work that involves some modeling to illustrate differences. The model is in the backseat.

(3) Here it is! Run this code, but first structure your data frame in this very specific way. An MS in Applied Statistics will be necessary for you to interpret my instructions.
(4) We ran the model in brms. It took 3 days. Also, parameters are cray-cray, lol!

I don’t know if the Buffalo rapid response network is on bsky, but @ourcityaction.bsky.social is. Maybe they are interested and could point towards resources.

Where are they from?

Do you know enough about them to contact family members?

That's terrible.

What neighborhood are you in?

Not in the free version I don't think.

Start speaking languages other than English to them. It often makes wasps uncomfortable because they are mostly monolingual. Or tell them that they're missing a farmer's market happening right now. They love those things.
