I'm on Austrian public radio again, this time discussing PunCAT, a computer-assisted #translation tool for #humour. The show is available online at https://t.co/yyMeUANHdX and my segment starts at about 12 minutes and 35 seconds in.

Do #LandAcknowledgements accomplish anything or are they merely performative, possibly even hypocritical? Does formulaic repetition render them meaningless? I appreciated Chelsea Vowel's exploration of these and other questions: https://t.co/Im1qOIBdu5 #TruthAndReconciliation

From https://t.co/lW2siKeSoT: "University Presses > Routledge > = (a bunch of specialty presses like Polity/ Brill) > Taylor Francis> Springer >>>>>>>> World scientific." I'd come up with a similar mental ranking. How do you rank #academic book #publishers in your field?
