Some memories from Corpus Linguistics 2025

Birmingham, UK, 30th June – 3rd July 2025

13TH International Corpus Linguistics Conference (CL2025), co-organised by Aston University, Birmingham City University and the University of Birmingham.

The weekend after the conference, the Back to the Beginning final Black Sabbath concert took place.

Robbi Love (Aston) and Joyce Lim (Aston) did a wonderful job, massive congrats!!!!

My plenary: “Corpus Linguistics and AI in the reconfiguration of language learning ecologies”. You can find the abstract and references here.

Always good to see old friends; from left to right, Laurence Anthony, Dawn Knight and Paul Thompson.

Great conversations with Laurence Antohny; we seem to coincide often lately 🙂

Great plenary by Charlotte Taylor & Anna Marchi

Another great plenary, this one by Gavin Brookes

Prof Pérez-Paredes to join the EB of Artificial Intelligence and Language Education (AILE)

Artificial Intelligence and Language Education (AILE) is a peer-reviewed international open-access journal that focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and language education. The journal welcomes submissions addressing the theoretical, empirical, and practical dimensions of AI-driven advancements in language teaching, learning, and assessment. By bringing together research from linguists, educators, AI experts, and technologists, Artificial Intelligence and Language Education aims to contribute to the ongoing transformation of language education and foster a global dialogue on the role of AI in shaping the future of language learning.

Prof Pérez-Paredes has accepted the invitation to join the Editorial Board of this new journal. His academic background in linguistics and specialisation in corpus-assisted discourse studies equip Prof Pérez-Paredes to critically engage with emerging intersections between language, technology, and pedagogy. His research has explored how digital tools and AI-driven applications are reshaping language practices, both in formal education settings and in broader multilingual environments. He brings experience in analysing large-scale linguistic data and applying discourse methods to examine evolving communicative norms, which can support critical evaluation of AI’s role in shaping language education. Prof Péerez-Paredes is particularly interested in how generative AI tools affect learner agency, feedback mechanisms, and language ideologies, especially in multilingual and southern Europe.

Prof Pérez-Paredes looks forward to contributing to the journal’s mission by fostering interdisciplinary dialogues and supporting rigorous, ethically grounded scholarship in this fast-developing area.
