This week, I've had the great pleasure to attend #SLE2024 and present a paper on the socio-cognitive dynamics of the actualization of language change. This conference also coincides with the end of my postdoc. Now I'm onto new adventures at Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg. Very exciting!

I am excited to share that our introduction to CIABATTA (Corpus In A Box: Automated Tools, Tutorials, & Advising) is out nor and open access for the next 50 days. This paper is part of our Crow team collaboration. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jeq59sT3htS…

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 1 of "idiolect", my new package to carry out Forensic Authorship Analysis using R. The website of the package (andreanini.github.io/idiolect/index…) contains a Get Started page with a brief tutorial.

LVC community: could someone please conduct a study on e.g. the correlation between rates of change and this type of mobility data?

First #CfP for the 17th International #CognitiveLinguistics Conference #ICLC17 in Buenos Aires. Note that compared to the previous announcement the dates of the conference have shifted slightly to July 14-18, 2025: iclc17.com/first-call-for…

Linguists specialising in French : I'm looking for historical changes in French (at any point from c. 1850 to today) where the form of a construction gets *lengthened* (rather than shortened). Any pointers ?
