Battlefield Linguistics is finally out there in the world! We packed this volume with cutting-edge scholarship on language and gender/sexuality across diverse linguistic contexts. Together, our authors meet the reactionary transantagonistic moment with inspiring & brilliant resistance!

Just to show that I do other things in life than linguistics, thought I’d show off a recent knitting finish. Very proud of these!

Happy to share the first version of my textbook "Quantitative Data Analysis for Linguists in R". stefanocoretta.github.io/qdal/ Comments and suggestions welcome! (on the GitHub repo: github.com/stefanocoret...) The textbook takes you from 0 to basic stat modelling with Bayesian regression.

Since January 2022, we (me, 93% Club & SS) have been working a project that tackles accent bias in Higher Education, focusing on the 'elite' institution where we're based. Today, we're launching the project website which brings together all our work: accentbias.ed.ac.uk

Genuinely so excited to be part of all this!

Everyday is more depressing than the last in UK HE.

Imagine working in a restaurant where the boss tells you the job performance is based only on tables served. But then every shift you are scheduled to the stockroom, the dishwashing station, and occasionally to like, trim the hedges outside. Anyway. I'm an associate professor...

For those who have them, how useful have you found having a personal website? I'm thinking websites that you can essentially put your CV Or maybe if you've been on a hiring panel - do you look at them for candidates?

Are you teaching prescriptivism this year? If so, please consider introducing your students to YourWrong.co.uk. It could form part of a seminar activity or prep! I'd also be very happy to provide some corpus examples for a small analysis task. Just get in touch!

Just came across this sentence while studying for the Life in the UK test (citizenship test): "England’s only international tournament victory was at the World Cup of 1966, hosted in the UK." Apparently they need to read up on their own footballing history

How we intend to spend the next month! Can’t ask for much more! @sfgiants.com @weuro2025bot.bsky.social

Trans kids are kids — they deserve to grow up without constant political attacks on their lives and medical care.
