Very tired today but also very grateful to have our little #CADS community. Thanks to everyone who came and made #CADS2026 what it was! Now, over to you, Vienna... 🍰☕️ #CADS2028 @ursulalutzky.bsky.social @susannekopf.bsky.social @mathewgillings.bsky.social

And what a journey it has been! Tianxin does amazing work on discourses of voluntary childlessness on Chinese social media.

On a vanishingly small chance you haven’t heard about it from me during CADS (sorry not sorry), we’re @sofiaruediger.bsky.social @domini.bsky.social doing a conf about persuasive language in Tampere this November and the CFP ends on July 1 and you should all come! events.tuni.fi/persuasion20...

What a fantastic conference this has been #CADS2026. Bonus achievement: it's the first conference I've ever managed to attend from start to finish, so my review is now officially valid. 😄 Conference-organizing wizardry, @gavinbrookes.bsky.social!

And so #CADS2026 comes to an end. We had 4 plenaries, 99 papers, 18 posters and 150 delegates. Thank you from all of us to everyone who came and made it so special ❤️🩶

Thanks @gavinbrookes.bsky.social for a wonderful #CADS2026; having been to all 8 editions I can authoritatively say that it was simply perfect

Thanks so much for taking a picture @runli.bsky.social, and everyone in the audience for turning up in this heat/all the questions 😊 Give me a shout if you'd like a copy of the slides! #CADS2026

Final plenary at #CADS2026: Brian King takes us on a delightful journey through our history of analysing interaction in online corpora, with a look towards the future (also I learnt a new word: "vicennial")

A fascinating presentation by @instantlinguist.bsky.social looking at how Chinese food was represented by the UK press in the post-COVID period. #CADS2026

Another really interesting study on Chinese food by Ilaria Iori explores changes in how Italian and American newspapers represent Chinese food during and after the COVID period. #CADS2026

In our final plenary speech @bwking1971.bsky.social reflected on the challenges and developments of using corpora to explore online discourse over the last 20 years! #CADS2026

Happy to present my PhD research at #CADS2026 today. A few years ago, I was sitting in the audience taking notes. Today, I had the chance to stand at the front and share my own research. Feeling grateful for how far this journey has taken me.

Day 2 at #CADS2026 closes with a blast: @elenasemino.bsky.social amazing as ever on pushing boundaries and corpus methods making a difference

A little CADS 2026 moment I presented my poster, got some really thoughtful questions, and came away feeling inspired by so many brilliant presentations and conversations. #CADS2026

A good day at #CADS2026. Presented my work on Tech CEO discourse on YouTube and received some very helpful questions and feedback. Also great to see my book on display among the conference publications. A nice moment after a long research journey.

Yesterday, Day 1 at #CAD26 @corporadiscourse.bsky.social Highlights from three panels: Nation and Nationhood, Health Discourses and Sexual and/or Gender-Based Violence.

In our next plenary speech, @elenasemino.bsky.social is reflecting on the role of CADS in crossing boundaries and building bridges, across disciplines and with stakeholders #CADS2026

I have a new article out! It's open access, so please share the link far and wide. Thank you! 😁 doi.org/10.1093/appl...

CaD 2026 is bringing me back to BlueSky 😃 Happy to contribute 🥰

Another interesting study on readers’ letters. Keisuke Yoshimoto looks at readers’ letters (on “Women’s Feelings” and “Men’s Feelings”) of a Japanese newspaper and finds clear gender differences. #CADS2026

How do LLMs perform as metadiscourse annotators? Javad Haditaghi at #cads2026 introduces a framework combining LLMs and expert validation.

In the fiction track at #CADS2026 - here is @nfdykes.bsky.social presenting our work with @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social on #janeausten and #fanfiction - the transition to the talk by @mixosaurus.bsky.social couldn’t have been better if we’d planned it

An engaging study by @sallyhuntsa.bsky.social, @marialeedham.bsky.social, and Sarah Jane Mukherjee on the analysis of emotional vocalisation verbs in Young Adult Fiction corpus. #CADS2026

Thanks so much for all the questions/feedback on my talk - #CADS2026 people are the best! Bonus: inspiring talks by @amandapotts.bsky.social @eugeniedugoua.bsky.social and @tianxin.bsky.social in the same session (co-author shoutout: @sofialampro.bsky.social @annaritamagliacane.bsky.social)

Day 2 of #CADS2026 kicked off with a fascinating talk by @matteofuoli.bsky.social on linking CADS with experiments to better understand audience effects. A great start to the day.

Brilliant second plenary at #CADS2026: lots of methodological food for thought with @matteofuoli.bsky.social problematising CADS' deterministic assumptions + showing the added value of testing discourse effects empirically

Italy gets brutally pastamogged in @markmcglashan.com @alexiconartist.bsky.social @veronikakoller.bsky.social @jessaiston.bsky.social talk on misandry 🗿 #CADS2026

So many great talks and amazing people at #CADS2026, where I presented some preliminary results from my project on the language of shame and guilt in English and Japanese

From incels to tradwives: Claudia Posch studies two German-speaking and two English-speaking tradwife influencers. “Alt-lite” is a term I haven’t heard before! #CADS2026

Chaired an excellent panel on migration discourses at #CADS2026 this morning. Really inspiring work by Tony Berber Sardinha, @chrishartlinguist.bsky.social , @xinmeisun.bsky.social , @proftaylor.bsky.social

Today at #CADS2026 we heard from @sallyhuntsa.bsky.social & @marialeedham.bsky.social about the mirrors, windows and sliding doors metaphor to think about young adult fiction. If you missed it, here is a blog post by them wels.open.ac.uk/research/pro...

Really interesting presentation by Benedict J.L. Rowlett on the analysis of readers’ letters on gender and sexuality in the South China Morning Post. Good to know some diverse past voices from citizens on LGBT+ topics. #CADS2026

How to kill your darlings: Kathryn Spicksely walks us through the difficult decisions in a participatory corpus study on teachers #cads2026

In this morning's plenary speech, @matteofuoli.bsky.social argued for the synergy of CADS and experimental methods. An excellent way to kick off day 2! #CADS2026

In her opening plenary speech, @michamahlberg.bsky.social addressed the promises and challenges of transdisciplinary corpus linguistics. An inspiring way to start our conference! #CADS2026

Thanks to everyone who came to have a look at my #CADS2026 poster on #finfluencers! Great first day of conference, two more to go.

Interesting piece that also falls down on messaging as one key aspect of Starmer’s downfall. #CADS2026

E. Dimitris Kitis is presenting to introduce an interesting concept of “psychoscapes” for analysing urban spaces. Also showing that cognitive linguistic critical discourse studies and CADS are combined to reveal how Hillbrow and Sandton are differently constructed in news. #CADS2026

Sophie Eyssette showing us shocking examples of intransparent newspaper language around feminicide, obfuscating agency in the most absurd ways - and those do not always come from the tabloids, unfortunately #CADS2026

Selenia Anastasi and Federica Formato are presenting a CADS study of an Italian Incel forum. Interesting to see how Southern Italy, particularly, is discursively constructed with clear gendered patterns. Also very great to know a bit about the manosphere in Italy. #CADS2026

Enjoyed the first day of #CADS2026 and it was a pleasure to chair the session on sociopolitical issues in the news. Looking forward to presenting tomorrow!

Very happy to present my PhD project to a public audience during the poster session at #CADS2026!
