exciting lineup for our 2026 symposium abstracts for posters/presentations due June 30 - #responses" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/forms/d/1E0pLG… @StuartM13041063 @MizumotoAtsushi @jaltcall @ListeningSig @fukuokajalt @tokyo_jalt

@DrCrosthwaite @MizumotoAtsushi So - while I get that people are gaming the system (journal and indiv. levels), there is an argument for such a system to be in place - system just needs tweaking.

@DrCrosthwaite @MizumotoAtsushi where full professors have like 2 scopus papers in their 60s yet still teach phd students

メモ：Scorpus 系の SCImago で Social Science、Linguistics and Language の組み合わせで検索するとQ1ジャーナルが355誌あることがわかる。そして「ほんまか？」と思うジャーナルも入ってるw scimagojr.com

Kanto-based colleagues. My program is hiring. Those meeting the stated qualifications who can teach Tuesday / Friday per 1 are especially welcome to apply. jrecin.jst.go.jp/seek/SeekJorDe… @tokyo_jalt @waseda_univ

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a it is interesting though -- from my recent AE assignment, there are a lot of ppl who refuse to review despite actively publishing. (no one in my/our circle appears to fall into this category though :) )

@mrkm_a This just happened to me too. Its even worse for AI related papers to have to wait so long given how fast the technology moves! Sunken cost fallacy - withdraw now and wait again, or wait it out with current journal...tough one!

某ジャーナルに投稿してから4ヶ月経っても音沙汰がないので問い合わせたら、まだ査読者を探している（！）とのこと。忘れられていたのではないか。エディター業務が大変なのは理解するが、こちらとしても求職中の元学生らと書いた論文なので一刻も早く審査プロセスを進めてもらいたい。

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a fully agree and the stepwise driven stuff with lex soph. has had its issues and models including BNC fiction range and COCA (all subcorpora) range are not really reflecting a coherent theory IMHO. with that said, I get that LLMs can change the 'game' in ways SPSS can't!

@JTesol @mrkm_a Good point Joe. Theoretically its very exciting. Just wondering the implications for graduating corpus linguists looking to enter the workforce...

"We propose Agent-Driven Corpus Linguistics, an approach in which [an LLM] … takes over the investigative cycle: generating hypotheses, querying …" Yu et al. (preprint). Agent-Driven Corpus Linguistics: A Framework for Autonomous Linguistic Discovery doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…

@DrCrosthwaite @mrkm_a probably not - but machine learning and related stepwise regression modeling (say lexical sophistication/complexity stuff from last decade) have generated theory for the field before - so it's not completely without precedent.

@mrkm_a Possible? Yes But should we do it?

@p41697538 @LocasaleLab the best research in the USA is done by large R1 public uni's -- this is not hard to prove.

@LocasaleLab These places do concentrate top scientists, which is quite valuable. If all the top scientists were scattered, without canonical institutions at which to gather, even with the same money, I would predict lower meaningful output in the long term.

This is a fantasy version of how places like Harvard actually work. When I was there, it was entirely pay-to-play. You brought in grant money in exchange for attaching the Harvard brand to your title. The institution itself contributed very little to the actual science. When something meaningful did come out of the work, Harvard was quick to take credit. The reality is that the research could have been done almost anywhere. The idea that Harvard is the driver of these discoveries—not the individual scientists and federally funded grants—is exactly backwards.

@DrCrosthwaite Thanks Peter!

@JTesol Congrats!

The propaganda is flying along with ordnance from the USA and Israel.  The world waits as strong military action against Iran plays out.  The Ayatollah is already conferring in person with Allah, and things will not end well for the other murderous Mullahs.  As for America, we just don’t know. billoreilly.com/b/Evil-Under-A…

@davidasinclair the best is when you show someone that parametric effect sizes, CIs, and p values can be determined from test stats and n sizes

In science, p < 0.05 has become a religion It is simply a probability statement about data under assumptions, yet scientists and society treat it as the essential stamp of truth

@WhiteHouse The only NATO country to invoke article 5 was the US - interestingly, Denmark provided more help than most on a per capita basis - but team MAGA doesn't read nor think so...

“Maybe we should have put NATO to the test: Invoked Article 5, and forced NATO to come here and protect our Southern Border from further Invasions of Illegal Immigrants, thus freeing up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.” - President Donald J. Trump

@MoonWen @patlopmon @TheGladiatorHC @grok copper is too massive to store - Sprott has a physical ETF but at 1.6% expense fee - it's a killer longterm.

@patlopmon @TheGladiatorHC @grok Buy physical not the bs paper

You just can't own enough Copper. Billionaire Robert Friedland sums it up perfectly..... You people have no idea whatsoever what we’re facing. “We’re consuming 30m tonnes of copper a year. Only 4m tonnes of which is recycled. That means to maintain 3% GDP growth, with no electrification, we have to mine the same amount of copper in the next 18 years as we mined in the last 10,000 years, combined. In the next 18 years, I’ve got to mine the same amount of copper as we mined the last 10,000 years. This is without any new electrification, without data centers, without solar and wind and the greening of the world economy. You people have no idea whatsoever what we’re facing.”

@SpeakerJohnson you're placating a wanna-be tyrant.

It was a true honor to address the UK Parliament today as the first U.S. Speaker of the House to do so. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, I wanted to emphasize an important truth — that our shared heritage with Great Britain creates a deep bond between our two kindred nations, and that bond remains essential to the defense of liberty. A renewal and continuation of the West means securing our borders, investing seriously in our national defenses, and maintaining the strategic strongholds that keep hostile regimes at bay. It also means restoring confidence in the principles of faith, family, freedom, and human dignity that set us apart and served as the foundations of the West. Freedom is never guaranteed. The future depends upon our generation having the will and determination to defend and preserve it.

@lakens as I understand it, high heterogeneity in the grand/unmoderated effect is the justification for moderator analyses (ideally proposed before the analysis but can conducted post-hoc as long as one admits that and resists strong generalization)

@lakens but theory informed moderators - can speak to this no? in my field, for example, a proficiency moderator can tell us how a treatment's effectiveness on a learning outcome varies by proficiency (e.g., low prof. - g = .33; high prof. - g = .66) with the ability to assess sig diff.

Often a single Registered Report is more informative than a meta-analysis. The meta-analysis will show a non-zero estimate and we will not know if it is due to bias. Heterogeneity is huge, so the main recommendation of a meta-analysis is that future research is needed anyway.
