#curwda just finished lecture prep on filter bubbles & fake news drawing on @philipseargeant and Caroline Tagg work, with screenshot from their participation in the HoC enquiry - and I have just realised that the report is published today! publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cm… good timing!

Tonight’s BBC Wales Live (10:35pm) will deal with workload, mental health, & marketisation of HE. Diane Anderson, the widow of our colleague Malcolm, will be interviewed, along with Cardiff UCU✊🌱 members. Workload negatively affects us all; for some, it’s a matter of life & death.

Lovely talk by Reem Madani on networked multilingualism and branding on Saudi Twitter; evidence of parallel bi/multilingualism (with separate twitter accounts on different languages) but lots of mixing too #LNM2019

On our way to Hong Kong #IPrA2019 - me and the just published paper on trans-scripting, multilingual writing and creativity in social media (hooray!), link for free download/access here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1Z8BG7suQFcU…

Any #IPrA2019 colleagues who are visiting Hong Kong for the first time, and perhaps a bit confused by scenes like this, here is a great story on this decade's old practice: theguardian.com/cities/2017/ma…

Fascinated by Sofia Rüdiger presentation on YouTube eating shows and her approach to discursive performance of informality in such intimate entertainment shows! #IPrA2019

tereza spilioti calls for a reconceptualization of transliteration as trans-scripting (= creative processes of respelling) using her online data of engreek, English spelled with Greek characters #IPrA2019

Learning that Chinatowns were originally imposed by the Westerners, rather than created by Chinese migrants, a product of orientalist and racialised discourses- at Jackie Jia Lou & E. Dimitris Kitis talk on media representations of chinatowns #IPrA2019

Discourse of race and ethnicity still prevalent in representations of chinatowns but recontextualised within gentrification discourses and commodification process noted too- very interesting talk by Jackie Jia Lou E. Dimitris Kitis

Thanks for sharing @hopehakes - got me thinking and hope that it is indeed the beginning, rather than the end, of a conversation, and more importantly, perhaps, the beginning of action and change too

#TLANG conference in full swing in Stirling and stranded in Cardiff (clashing chronotopes). In spirit with Korina Giaxoglou to talk about chronotopic affect in collective memorialization Caroline Tagg @AgnieszkaLyons panel on the semiotics of time and space and re-framing the past

My work on trans-scripting among editors’ choice articles at Discourse, Context & Media - feeling chuffed! journals.elsevier.com/discourse-cont…

We are most excited to announce that @EdinUniLEL will be hosting 2020’s BAAL: British Association for Applied Linguistics SIG Language & New Media Symposium. The focus will be methods and methodology. Mark April 16 & 17, 2020 on your dairy/diary. More details to come soon (possibly including a guided Harry Potter tour!)

We are glad to announce that the issue has been resolved. The service is getting back to normal and paper processing times will be longer than usual. We’ll keep you updated here or bit.ly/352sLlJ

Really pleased for this hardcopy of our @Pragmatics special issue with M. Johansson and including papers from Johansson & Veronika Laippala, Barbara De Cock & @PizzaroPedraza, @CatherineBouko , David Matley, & myself & tereza spilioti. Thanks everyone for being part of this!

We need relevant organisations, institutions, persons on board. We are first year students without the capabilities to organise effectively, especially when meant to be "isolating". If anyone can help get in touch #GlasgowStudentsAgainstRents
