Can't believe one week has already passed since the end of the @cl2025.co.uk conference. This year, I had the great honor of serving as one of the plenary speakers, giving my talk on AI and corpus linguistics in a really lovely venue. Big thanks to @robbielove.org and all the organisers. #CL2025

📣 About last week at #CL2025 in Birmingham! Honoured to have presented with my amazing team on drag discourse & identity 🌈, a led by my colleague Macarena Palma. Great talks, team bonding, and a fabulous gala dinner! Thanks for the organisation! @cl2025.co.uk 🙏🏼 @azaharaveroz.bsky.social

I had a great time at @cl2025.co.uk not only for the interesting program but also because it allowed me to meet up again with friends and colleagues I haven’t seen in a while 🫶

Home now after a brilliant @cl2025.co.uk conference and reflecting on meeting up with old friends and lots of interesting research talks. Many many thanks to @robbielove.org and all the organisers! #CL2025

Saying bye to Birmingham and a huuuge thank you to the corpus linguistics community for engaging with this project the way you did, for all the thoughtful comments, questions, conversations, and words of encouragement for further work!! #CL2025

My personal highlights of #CL2025 , one for each day. Although there were many fine contributions from established figures in corpus linguistics, I prefer to cite names that were previously unknown to me (and that's my problem, not theirs). So, here goes...

My slides from #cl2025 The Creation and Validation of ConPlex (the Construction Complexity Calculator) www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Were there any talks or posters about AI and business discourse/corporate communication at #cl2025?

Well done @robbielove.org for a brilliantly organised #CL2025 conference. Thanks also to @markmcglashan.com , Andrew Kehoe & many others, including the spring-heeled (IYKYK) @feixie.bsky.social

It went by so fast #CL2025 #timeflieswhenyouarehaving fun

So long Birmingham, how wonderful #CL2025 has been! A huge thank you to @robbielove.org and all the organisers. I am sorry I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to every single one of the colleagues I chatted and shared ideas with this week. You've really made it special!

I loved sharing a plenary on'What counts?' with the ever-brilliant @journolinguist.bsky.social at #CL2025. Not least because it led to some great conversations including two excellent illustrations that are too good not to share further

#CL2025 is over! See you all at #CL2027—if it happens and wherever it ends up being.

So sorry to say goodbye! #CL2025

So lucky to have attended @cl2025.co.uk - thanks to the organizers for an inspiring conference program & to colleagues for their great work. carleton.ca/slals/2025/s...

Excited to have delivered a plenary at @cl2025.co.uk @astonuniversity.bsky.social Corpus Linguistics Conference 2025. In this plenary I discussed how #corpuslinguistics & #AI may collaborate in the reconfiguration of #languagelearning ecologies. My references perezparedes.es/corpus-lingu...

Had a nice experience presenting today at @cl2025.co.uk! Thank you the organizing team for such an amazing and inspiring conference! #cl2025

Deis iontach an taighde ar chorpais Ghaeilge a chur i láthair phobal na gcorpas! Papers coming to a journal near YOU! Thanks for the great conference @cl2025.co.uk @astonuniversity.bsky.social #CL2025 ✌️Its been authentic! 😉

We‘ve kept the best for last at #cl2025: @nfdykes.bsky.social shows how our research in @rc21project.bsky.social enables analysts to read concordances at scale using FlexiConc and neural sentence embeddings.

What a fabulous #cl2025. So many brilliant people and ideas (& good lunches). Thank you @robbielove.org & organisers And I'm so grateful that we are having AI discussions - and disagreement - in these open spaces. To me, speaking in silos has v. limited value for developing ideas and responses.

Thanks to everyone who listened to one of my talks. Glad they're are both done now! It's been so nice to meet new people and learn about their research. Having a great time and looking forward to the final panel! #CL2025

In case you missed the QR code during my talk on Geometric Multivariate Analysis @cl2025.co.uk: You can find slides, code, and data at osf.io/9p25y

@cl2025.co.uk today we hear Andrew Hardie‘s response to @lanthony.bsky.social‘s keynote last night. I very much align with Andrew‘s view of AI!

Final day of #cl2025. AI is a big topic today...

At the final #CL2025 plenary, @perez-paredes.bsky.social encourages us to not think of either or AI & corpus linguistics but making the best of both worlds, highlighting e.g. the integration of LLMs into English-corpora.org www.english-corpora.org/ai-llms/

Ready, set, go! Pascual’s promising talk is live now! #CL2025

Is data-driven learning dead? Long live DDL! Interesting plenary on learning, ecologies and corpus by Pascual Pérez Paredes @ #CL2025

The final plenary speech at #CL2025 will be delivered by @perez-paredes.bsky.social, titled ‘Corpus Linguistics and AI in the Reconfiguration of Language Learning Ecologies’.

The Sinclair Lecture by @jwgrieve.bsky.social, mentioned by @lanthony.bsky.social in his plenary speech yesterday, will be held next Monday at 5pm at the University of Birmingham and will also be live-streamed. For details and registration, visit: www.birmingham.ac.uk/schools/edac... #CL2025

This is actually a perfect snapshot of tonight--listening to live music and @jwgrieve.bsky.social, @lanthony.bsky.social, and Jenny Kemp talking about AI and the future of corpus linguistics after Lawrence's incredible plenary🙂 #CL2025

Evening reception sponsored by Senso.cloud, featuring live music #CL2025

What a marvelous plenary by Laurence Anthony — a true celebration of past, present, and future in trusting the text. Can’t wait to put the new local #OpenWeighs-powered AntConc through its paces! #CL2025 #TrustTheText

Day 3 of #CL2025 concludes with a plenary speech by @lanthony.bsky.social , titled ‘Stochastic parrots meet corpus linguists: understanding language in the age of AI.’ The event takes place at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University.

I was looking forward to this presentation! #CL2025

What counts? An inspiring talk about the wonder of numbers by @proftaylor.bsky.social and @journolinguist.bsky.social #CL2025

On my way to a quick visit at #CL2025 to talk about a corpus linguistic approach to surveillant landscapes (in the final slot on Thursday at 2.00pm) … on a rather fittingly surveilled train 😁

Enjoying #CL2025 and had a great time presenting on Monday with @fabrichunter.bsky.social on intersecting discourses of climate and migration, and today as part of @juliakrasselt.bsky.social & @isabellesuremann.bsky.social's panel on contrastive corpus discourse studies! @mcrlinguistics.bsky.social

The data is actually part of my forthcoming book, ”Exploring Meaning in Surveillance Discourses through Corpora“ - available to pre-order now (with a discount code 😉 😇), and coming out in March 2026 (so stay tuned ☺️) #cl2025 @cl2025.co.uk @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social

It was great to meet new faces and familiar faces on Tuesday while presenting our poster: "DR-LIB: CLARIN knowledge centre for digital resources for the languages in Ireland and Britain" at #CL2025! Presenting 2 papers Wednesday. cc: @gaois.bsky.social ✌️

The morning of my last day at #CL2025 began with a wonderful plenary by @proftaylor.bsky.social and @journolinguist.bsky.social . They have a way of pointing to things that are fundamental to CL but are often not explicitly discussed in our work. Such as what counts.
