Really pleased to see this today! Prof. Dr. Astrid Ensslin and I have worked on this research for 10 years. I learned a lot and couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator. Available open access as of next week via routledge.com/Reading-Digita… Watch this space for the next chapter…

I'm happy to announce a new release of AntConc (ver. 4.3.0) that integrates traditional corpus methods with Large Language Models (LLMs) via a new 'ChatAI' tool. I've kept it as a beta version for now, so I can get everybody's feedback. I hope you like it! laurenceanthony.net/software/antco…
