I hope everyone is getting home safely from #CADS2024 in Innsbruck. The #nightjet to Hamburg got power cuts and consecutive problems, but at least we learned a few things. If travelling in #mini-cabins they can be reset by the conductor somewhere inside the cabin (likely around the light display) if the luggage lockers can't be opened with your card. Now at the boat terminal; home tomorrow!

Last talks at #CADS2024 now! I chose Aroa Orrequia-Barea's on how to build a bilingual EN-ES representation corpus of Ukrainian refugees.

Dr Tamsin Parnell (@tamsinparnell.bsky.social) presenting on homelessness in two UK newspapers during the cost-of-living crisis 2022. Often de-individualising discourse, such as "the homeless population".

And now at #CADS2024 @stefanowitsch will present on the populist extreme right party #AfD.

Not sure I've seen this at a conference before: Two roses on every coffee break table in the hall!

How can we know if ChatGPT actually analyses something instead of reproducing analyses chunks of research paper training data? #CADS2024

a very loud false fire alarm rang in the conference, first unexpected technical problems solved, clouds will also clear up, promise #cads2024

Feeling a not very pleasant mix of confusion, depression and just outright horror at the number of people at #CADS2024 who candidly admit to playing with LLMs and environmental costs be damned... even as they are researching discourses about sustainability

Now for the climate discourse session 1 at #CADS2024 with papers by R. Poole on diachronic #ecolinguistics corpora, J. Currie et al. on parliamentary debates about #ClimateChange and A Meyer on mining company discourse.

Bored? Join the #CADS2024 from home, at least our keynotes. Starting now, and around 10:00, Gerlinde Mautner starts the first talk.
