There are twin threats to psychology: the well-known HARKing (Hypothesising After the Results are Known) and the newly coined MASKing (Making Assumptions based on Skewed Knowledge). New paper led by @SakSGhai in @CommsPsychol nature.com/articles/s4427…
New tutorial paper published today with PhD student @danaroemling and @BodoWinter 'Visualizing map data for linguistics using ggplot2: A tutorial with examples from dialectology and typology' doi.org/10.1017/jlg.20… 🔓 Hope people find this useful!
In December 2023, I defended my dissertation, “A geographic analysis of lexical variation in North American English using Reddit corpora”. It’s available to read for free on ProQuest. In this thread I’ll go over what I did and some of the most interesting things I found! (1/9)
So apparently people have been getting attention on here for their dissertations. Should I make a thread about my dissertation where I scraped massive amounts of text data from Reddit to gain insights about North American English dialect geography?
Excited to share my open-access paper published in Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (@RMALJournal)! It critically explores the limitations of traditional linear regression models (assuming normal error distribution) for analysing syntactic complexity measures. 1/10
How can AI be reconfigured to avoid spreading misinformation and harmful social biases? According to a new paper from Professor Jack Grieve and his team of linguistics researchers, the answer lies in the application of sociolinguistics. birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/unde…
Our position paper on the sociolinguistic foundations of language modeling is out now in Frontiers in AI! frontiersin.org/journals/artif… We argue that sociolinguistics holds the key to understanding and improving large language models.

I'm shocked to see racism happening in academia again, at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf. Targeting specific ethnic groups to describe misconduct is inappropriate and unacceptable. @NeurIPSConf must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard @MIT @medialab to retract and…
