Two months in at the new job @ugent. It's been a steep learning curve teaching-wise, and today for the first time I can do some research! Feels like the long weekend has already started🥳
@rorylinguist I think it should be consistent with the name that appears on your institutional page(s), for when people look you up! Like John/Jack Du Bois
Third virtual conference I'm attending this year starting now with @XPragDe! Very excited to talk about the processing of negation in concessive relations, from the comfort of my sofa
The Special Issue that I co-edited in Journal of Pragmatics is finally out! Check out the papers @lievenbuysse, @jenny_ament, @boydhdavis, Sílvia Gabarró-López and myself on discourse-pragmatic markers in speech and sign : https://t.co/xOHpNQWYN2

Pleased to announce the call for papers for my workshop on "Discourse in corpus and experimental data", 15-16 October 2020 in beautiful Edinburgh! All info and submission : https://t.co/ve8uzbKxhL

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor onboard?
Mum: *nudging me* that should've been you…
Not exactly asking for a psychologist, are they?
Go and see if asking about their feelings helps…
Me: Not only am I not that sort of doctor, I’m not even that sort of psychologist 👨💻

With CfP opening earlier this week, confirmation for our first two plenaries was not far behind. Ludivine Crible (@Lcrible), from The University of Edinburgh; and David Hall (https://t.co/pGg4nSJKqK), from Queen Mary University, will be joining our panel this year! #mFiL2020
I started using @psychopy a week ago to run psycholinguistic experiments - loving it! I only had one or two headaches so far, so can't complain! Thanks a lot to @peircej for creating it, and to @FlorentPerek for the tutorial last year in Paris
So, it's been a while. Finally settled down in Edinburgh, ready to run exciting experiments about discourse processing and information density, I'll keep updating! Here's my latest published paper with Liesbeth Degand https://t.co/VbOanCyRPf
Books: Discourse Markers and (Dis)fluency: Spoken language is characterized by the occurrence of linguistic devices such as discourse markers (e.g. "so, well, you know, I mean") and other so-called “disfluent” phenomena, which reflect the temporal nature… https://t.co/4cE9B2DDMr
