Very interesting MWE workshop LREC2022, with our joint paper on mutli-word unit recognition in Princeton wordnet: lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lr…

Desired achievement before the end of sabbatical😀 Professional Scrum Master™ I (PSM I) issued by Scrum.org to Lukasz Grabowski credly.com/badges/b8aa24f…

There is something in it:)

Anyone interested in lexical gaps and mismatches between languages? Our paper focusing on the Polish-English wordnet has just been published by International Journal of Lexicography (in OA): academic.oup.com/ijl/advance-ar…

I am forwarding info about an interesting series of lectures on translation, cognition and corpora organized by Aleks Trkjla at the University of Innsbruck 🖥️📚💭uibk.ac.at/translation/ri…

A decision which multi-word units should be recorded in dictionaries is not a trivial one. What are the criteria that guide Polish and English lexicographers? We used corpus ling and ML methods to answer that, and our findings have just been published: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

I am honoured to join the Editorial Board of one of my favourite journals "Applied Corpus Linguistics". I am looking forward to providing valuable service to corpus linguistic community in the next few years to come. sciencedirect.com/journal/applie…

Earlier today I was honoured to present the results of my latest research to a wonderful group of researchers affiliated with the Malaysian Corpus Research Network. It seems that there is still a lot to find out about how we signal formulaic language in speech and writing.

It takes two to tango, so to speak:) We found that phraseology markers may also break canonical phraseologies or introduce idiosyncratic phrasings unattested or rarely used in native texts. More on this in our new paper available in open access: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

I was honoured to present the results of my recent research and share my reflections on corpus linguists' skills and toolkit in the 2020s at Slovko 2023 in Bratislava. Big thanks to the organizers for an invitation, hospitality and friendly atmosphere! korpus.sk/o-nas/konferen…

(1/2) It was a real pleasure to share our research at the 4th PACOR symposium on parallel corpora in the picturesque León, Spain. Piotr Pęzik and I talked about extending the English-Polish corpus Paralela and extracting bilingual phraseologies from near-parallel corpus data.

(2/2) We used multilingual sentence embeddings and mainly open LLMs: trurl.ai and mistral.ai as prompt-based classifiers. Preliminary evaluation showed that we can obtain a combinatorial dictionary with thousands of recurrent phrasal equivalents. Ctd

(PS.) A follow-up to the previous message. Our preliminary evaluation was conducted using logistic regression and J48 classification; it showed that with circa 0.84 precision and 0.65 recall we can obtain a combinatorial dictionary with thousands of recurrent phrasal equivalents.

There is something in it;)

Thrilled to finally see our paper on formulaic language in Old English prose in "Journal of Historical Pragmatics". Ania and Piotr, it was pleasure to collaborate with you on that fascinating journey into the past: jbe-platform.com/content/journa…

I am honoured to join the Advisory Board of the Czech National Corpus (CNC) research infrastructure for the term 2024-2026. I will do my utmost to provide valuable service to the CNC community, together with other international experts. korpus.cz/advisory-board

We are delighted that our discussions with Aleksandar Trjkla have eventually resulted in a new (and maybe even novel:) theoretical reading of semantic prosody, grounded in the philosophy of language, now available in "Journal of Pragmatics": sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
