I'm a linguist who specialises in the study of meaning (pragmatics) and who is interested in argumentative, persuasive and deceptive phenomena in discourse

I'm very happy to share the 1st of a series of 3 popularization videos (in French) about my field of expertise, pragmatics. Feel free to like, share and subscribe to the channel! Many thanks to @LouNoahOdermatt for working on this with me!

Native speakers of English: would you have some 20-30 mins to help one of my students out by filling in this survey? Please also distribute further if you know people who might be willing to help science! :) https://t.co/tJcuY6NR7a

@ArgtweetSara you are listed as a potential reviewer too... 😀

[Steve O @TweetOSteve]

It finally happened: today I was asked to review a (short) paper on a new and "disruptive" research exchange platform in which the author basically copy-pastes chatGPT's response to one of his earlier papers on the meaning of life (I kid you not)...

[Steve O @TweetOSteve]

...The point is to show that chatGPT can help in being less subjective. Perhaps I'll ask chatGPT to review that paper - so to review its own production - and submit it as a way of improving objectivity in peer-reviewing, I don't know.
