Last week, I had the pleasure of participating in a small conference on corpus linguistics and AI organised by colleagues from English and German linguistics at the University of Gießen. I am grateful to my co-author @mshakir_Dr for suggesting that we present our work there as I wouldn't have applied otherwise and to the organisers for allowing different perspectives and opinions to be heard. The format allowed for lots of time to discuss our diverging views in a stunning setting.
