On ‘objectivity’ in corpus based discourse studies: “No matter where you are in the continuum of theory-driven to data-driven, all work is ultimately researcher-driven” anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 opening her #cadaad2024 plenary with home truths

“Luckily in corpus linguistics there’s no such thing as non interesting findings. In fact it’s much more fun to be proven wrong than to be proven right” anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 on why we love CADS #cadaad2024

“A colleague once said ‘I don’t get out of bed for under 10million words’ but size isn’t everything. Representativeness is the key.” anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 describing the Desert Island Disc corpus, which is both “big and well sampled, which is very pleasing” #cadaad2024

“We turned cherry picking into cherry harvesting!” We usually use CADS to look for repetition ‘not visible to the naked eye’ but also need to use a ‘CADS eye’ to look for multiplicity; both are components of the incremental effect of discourse anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 #cadaad2024

We often use the metaphor of a methodology like CADS taking a birds’ eye view, meaning from a distance. However, birds’ eyes are different from humans’; we don’t just get a view from afar but a view totally altered anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 #cadaad2024

Thrilled to share that I've joined an U.S. National Science Foundation project led by sandra babcock at @DeathPenaltyWW, developing interdisciplinary methodologies to analyse how courtroom actors express gender bias in trials of women facing the death penalty.

.SCOTUSblog "14 Cases to Watch": "Remarkably, the court has rescheduled [Brenda's] case 11 times between March and July 2024 before requesting the record, which has now arrived from the lower courts. Clearly, at least one of the justices has taken a close interest in the case."

Having spent my entire childhood with my nose buried in a book, having the literal job title of Reader is a dream come true.
