The biggest academic thing I've done to date is out today... a guest-edited (with the amazing Carolina Fernandez-Quintanilla) special issue of the Journal of @LitSemantics on Stylistic Approaches to Narrative Empathy. Beyond excited! 🤩

Happy to share this report about the HUM19 corpus has now been published in @IJCL_journal!
This off-the-peg specialised reference corpus of 19th century British and Irish novels serves both as a study corpus and comparator.

The secret is out! A wonderful tribute to Professor Stylistics himself, and so delighted to be a small part of it.

Ever think about what others think about you? It’s called a metaperspective – and it’s just as common in literature as in life. Now there’s even a book about it (please do judge said book by its very beautiful cover 😍)

Proud supervisor! Submitting a thesis is a big achievement at the best of times, but this one was completed despite dire circumstances at @HuddLinguistics, huge well done Fransina! 💪👏
Well, that's that! PhD submitted 🥳
A full circle moment to do so with @kpager1 present - I got to be there when she submitted hers, and now she was there for me! 🥰
