@CiaoCiaota Oh man this Friday? Can’t make it 😕
English
Finally got my personal copy of the #dissertation today. Feels great to bring this chapter to a close and looking forward to what’s next to come academically after my defense on Friday!
Markus Samuel Haselbeck@CiaoCiaota
Handed in my #dissertation on Making #Revenge Great Again. Looking forward to the defense in March and the comments I’ll get. I‘m really excited for my next steps and some more explorations into Gongyang #Confucianism #公羊學 and #ChinesePhilosophy

@CiaoCiaota @ccgg31 Also they were catalogued according to size and shelf fit as they came in 🤣
English
@ccgg31 Not yet - the books are all uncatalogued, so that’s the first thing I am doing right now. By my current estimate, we should have all works of the core collection listed in about 3-4 months.
English
I started a new position working on a collection of mainly pre-modern Chinese books once owned by Jozef Mullie at KU Leuven Libraries, making these works available to scholars. Over the coming months, I'll be posting some of the fascinating texts and illustrations I come across.
English
@CiaoCiaota Great! You’re the best person for that jobke!
English
After retiring, Mullie continued his research at the library of KU Leuven. He ultimately left thousands of Chinese volumes, some of which date to the early 1700s. These books offer much insight into the research of missionaries in/on China and early Belgian #Sinology. #Chinabooks

@KULeuven_Korea @dunod_editeur Will we be able to buy the book there as well? It looks pretty interesting!

Prof. Bruneton's conference will be followed by a presentation of his latest book, an impressive 900-page introduction to Classical Chinese #漢文 from a Korean perspective.
>03/20 (Fri.), 15h00-16h00
>Leuven campus, Colloquium (Central Library, room 05.28).
Everyone welcome!
English
📣 On 03/20, Prof. Yannick Bruneton (@univ_paris_cite / @cdf1530), one of the most outstanding specialists in Medieval Korea, will give a conference entitled "How to periodize Koryo?"
>03/20 (Fri.), 14h00-15h00
>Leuven campus, MSI 02.28
Everyone welcome! #고려시대 #루벤대

@CiaoCiaota Sic paper though!
English
It seems that my work is at this point influential enough for me to be on the editorial board of a predatory journal. My paper on "Kang Youwei's J(sic)(sic) Daxue zhu xu (sic)(sic)(sic)(sic)" seems very influential... #Academia #PredatoryJournals
Markus Samuel Haselbeck@CiaoCiaota
I think at this point predatory journals have really given up... They were inspired by the rigorous research in my paper "Title." Sounds a bit fishy. #Academia

One of my favorite things about teaching the introduction to linguistic anthropology class is that I can linger over olfactory ideophones, examples of linguistic diversity and some of the work done by UT Austin PhDs (Susan Smythe Kung and Simeon Floyd)

@QianGu2021 Wow Agu I didn’t know this!

"I'm a doctor in Linguistics"
"my friend is dying"
"Don't you find it fascinating that «die», a telic verb, in the progressive means that your friend is on the path to dying but isn't yet dead? Aspect is so cool"

After passing through the focus group, here is the next exciting installment of my blog: Sunsets, spreadsheets, and languishing leaves.
Mostly pictures of the conferences I attended and presented at over the summer. Enjoy!

When I review papers about a Chinese variety and there are no tone marks (and preferably also characters), the best score I give is major revision.
I was trained to not put tone marks on transliterated words and I don’t understand why. It’s a tone language and it’s 2025.
Gopalakrishnan R@cobbaltt
Why is Mandarin so often not transcribed with tonal diacritics? Just cuz you're writing a syntax paper doesn't mean you should ignore tones in a tonal language...

Attending CLIN35 today in Leuven with my supervisor @j_prokic and the entire team (@aronvandepol, Jiahui Liang)! We are not talking about dialects today though, but about the Sahel project, where we analyse social media data with NLP and image processing~

My book is now available for download as an open access book (free PDF).

Can a study rightfully state its “effect is found ACROSS LANGUAGES” when it’s only two (in this case English and another well-studied one)?
What’s the minimum? Serious question.

@ldl_hku What do you mean new? This is 6 years old?

🔊 Why do words like "buzz" or "splash" feel so vivid? 🤔 Thompson & Do’s new study explores ideophones—words that echo sensory experiences—using an articulation-based twist! 📚✨
