UKCLC 2020

Check this lectures series co-organised by @DigitalHumanTCD and @unibirmingham on "Trust and Authority in the Digital Age"! 🗓️May 25 lecture: 'The Illusion of Grandeur: Trust and Belief in Cultural Heritage Linked Open Data' by Rob Sanderson @Yale birmingham.ac.uk/research/digit…

"Cross-sector partnerships between Universities, museums and galleries will be key to sustaining and enriching the local cultural economy during the current pandemic and after" Read Sophie Hatchwell & Kate Nicholls' piece on cross cultural partnerships: birmingham.ac.uk/news/thebirmin…

The humanities are crucial to addressing the assault on truth: if we can’t find the narrative forms to make the world real to one another, we risk losing our politics to the fantasists and cynics, says @LyndseyStonebri timeshighereducation.com/blog/humanitie…

It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. Conflict creates crisis and chaos. Our @LyndseyStonebri is working with @I_W_M on the Refugees: Forced to Flee exhibition, as part of their #IWMRefugees season. iwm.org.uk/events/refugee…

Great question to @adelegoldberg1 Why is it so hard for non-native speakers to recognise ungrammatical utterances like explain me this? Ansr: "less sensitive to statistical pre-emption but why is too long to discuss here" But I definitely want to know... #UKCLC2020

I thoroughly enjoyed @adelegoldberg1's talk at #UKCLC2020! I loved the answers to the question: what are the biggest challenges or most promising areas in CxG today? Sociolinguistics of cxns & explaining how the clustering of cxn exemplars works were two of the answers!

#UKCLC2020 coming to a close. Was a great conference. I really enjoyed the pluralism of approaches and perspectives. A reminder that no single group -or discipline- can sort out problems such as understanding language development and/or structure, and/or production etc

All set for ⁦@UKCLC_2020⁩ ! Superhuman effort by our superhumans ⁦@BodoWinter⁩ ⁦@FlorentPerek⁩ ⁦@MarcusPerlman⁩ and ⁦@ETuijnder⁩ who moved this entire enterprise online ⁦@Eng_Lang_UoB⁩ ⁦@artsatbham⁩ 👏

I'm not going to live tweet this because @symbolicstorage and @DingemanseMark are doing a much better job of live tweeting than me at this conference! #ukclc2020

I love that @adelegoldberg1 uses 'Ok boomer' as an example. #UKCLC2020

Wonderful plenary talk by Prof. Adele Goldberg to mark the closing of #UKCLC2020 !

Today I'm attending 2 virtual conferences #UKCLC2020 & #cogsci2020 (yes, on the same day!) Great advantage of virtual conferencing 🤗 Teleportation abilities or Hermione's time turner would have been great solutions to travel from Birmingham to Toronto in a flash though 🤔🤣

- You can argue against suggested revisions if justified - Address revisions, in the order suggested, in your cover letter with your resubmission - Do not send your paper to more than one journal simultaneously - Be polite - Do not ask the editor to interpret comments #UKCLC2020

Be bold! @dagmardivjak Do not be discouraged! @JeannetteL16 Really useful advice offered on how to publish in top journals especially to early career researchers. Thank you #UKCLC2020 🙏

Check out this #UKCLC2020 'poster pitch' by @greg_woodin from our pre-registered work with @LacePadilla on metaphor and #dataviz. People interpret graphs more correctly when 'up = good', but that facilitatory effect doesn't override 'up = more'. youtube.com/watch?v=5IY-LF…

"What on earth is constructional contamination and why should I care?" @DirkPijpops asking and answering these questions right now! #UKCLC2020 @QLVL_Leuven

Great talk by Günter Radden about aspect, tense and modality in English! Very helpful! #UKCLC2020 #linguistics #modality #phdlife
