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
