Had a lot of fun editing this Special Issue of @registerstudies.bsky.social with @larissagoulart.bsky.social! Our editorial "Situations of Language Use", a survey of traditional approaches to situation over the years, key recent innovations, and original contributions, is now online and open access🙂

Please help my friend spread the word about this competition--a project that's part of his PhD in #DigitalHumanities.

Thanks @ijcl.bsky.social and @elenlefoll.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy: I enjoyed the book and hope Textbook English reaches its (probably most important) audiences in language education.

Happy to see this paper out (open access) in the Journal of English Linguistics: “Prototypicality of Register Texts: The Language and Communicative Situation of Central and Peripheral Exemplars” doi.org/10.1177/0075... #register #linguistics #prototypetheory

Recent chapters (co-authored w. Jesse Egbert) in Elsevier Encyclopedia of Language & Linguistics: 1. Corpus Linguistics & Register doi.org/10.1016/B978... 2. Register, Text Types, & Genre doi.org/10.1016/B978... Hope they're useful to those interested in #corpuslinguistics and #textanalysis!

We started our weekly meeting by warmly welcoming our new colleague, @jtauber.com (sitting first from the left), who joined us today and immediately hit it off with everyone here. More updates regarding James’s work will follow, but for now, please join us in welcoming James 🙂.

So cool!☺️

@nfdykes.bsky.social I have to say the five-star-scale-rated Anthropocene got my attention!

I feel like I don't read enough research about cats. 🙂

Had such a wonderful time at #AACL (American Association of #corpuslinguistics) at the University of Florida last week--the warmest conference in every sense ☺️ Huge thanks to the organizers and especially @steffiwulff.bsky.social P.S. No pictures can do justice to that gorgeous campus!

So incredibly excited for this and everything we'll learn through this line of work. #register #psycholinguistics #cognitivescience

#AAAL2026 highlights featuring the #NAU family celebrating Scott Jarvis's amazing plenary on linguistics and the law ♥️ #appliedlinguistics in #Chicago 2026

Kicking off tomorrow #AAAL2026, Chicago. @mariannagracheva.bsky.social presenting her latest research

Her presentations, developed in collaboration with colleagues from the Text & Language Lab as well as external collaborators, explore how language evolves across digital and professional contexts:

1. Narrowing the gap between LLM-produced and human registers (with Björn Nieth, Emmanuelle Salin, Michaela Mahlberg, Björn Eskofier) 2. Digitization in professional discourse: An interdisciplinary multimodal register analysis of art descriptions (with Sabine Lang)

3. The evolving language of blogs: A diachronic corpus-based analysis (with external collaborators) We look forward to the discussions at #AAAL2026. More information: share.google/tlMv2rSdLjl1...

For today's World Book Day, @textandlanguagelab.bsky.social are giving you a taste of all the books to explore on www.clic-ficiton.com. Using the FlexiConc tab developed by RC21 gives you even more options to see how books were described in 19th century literature.

Applications are open for the MA Digital Humanities program. An interdisciplinary Master’s program combining humanities research with digital methods. 📅 Deadline: 15 July Learn more: www.dhss.phil.fau.de/education/ma... #DigitalHumanities #DHSS #FAU #gradschool #HumanitiesAndTech

Special Issue on Professional Discourse out now! More about individual contributions on our page @registerstudies.bsky.social

Very excited to share my wonderful colleague Marcella Caprario's new book on #ELF - a resource for students, teachers, and researchers! #pragmatics #sociopragmatics #English #linguafranca #communication

Quite possibly the most fun I've had in a Q&A!! Huge thanks to the English Linguistics Department @fau.de for the invite and these 1.5 hours!

We're excited to re-launch the journal "Innovations in Linguistics Education", a forum for evidence-based research in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) in linguistics! We open for submissions in January 2026. journals.ed.ac.uk/innovations/

It was so great (and so fitting) to spend the World Linguistics Day with the absolutely lovely group of linguists at Augsburg University!🙂Looking forward to meeting a few others tomorrow!

Excited to talk about prototypicality of register texts and the functional basis for textual linguistic variation and to hear about Augsburg team's work on related questions! #linguistics #prototypetheory #register Interdisciplinary Linguistics Colloquium Augsburg share.google/MiPgf4K0DGgq...

Peter Uhrig on multimodal constructions may just be the definition of how cool #linguistics is. Just in case anyone was looking for a reminder😉

This looks like something I have to have! 😺

It was a lot of fun introducing our #Text&Language Lab at #DHSS25 last month! @dhssfau.bsky.social @fau.de

It's Week 1 of the semester @fau.de, and I had an amazing time starting my multidimensional analysis course today! It was especially great to have students joining after Register & Variation among Texts that I taught last year! Looking forward to the rest of the semester! #register #linguistics #MDA
