This summer semester I'm very excited to teach a brand-new seminar on "Open Science practices in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" @UniKoeln!
Some 20 B.A. and M.A. students studying #linguistics or a Romance language (+ one post-doc) signed up for this rather experimental course, many of whom had never heard of #OpenScience before. For this course, I've ditched the University's learning management system (ILIAS) and opted for a maximally open way to share teaching materials as I go along: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/.
Students are also required to attend at least two #ReproducibiliTea in the #HumaniTeas session and to co-author a blog post about one session. Very curious to see how things will pan out!
I am a sociolinguist and a lot of our research on real, authentic language usage, especially among young people, depends on web crawlers.
Your anti-crawling activism actively sabotages research about e. g. queer language, gender, racism, hate speech and social structures.
Yeah, consent is the highest authority, and "AI" shouldn't be used to replace or underpay workers.
But at some point some of y'all really just act like anti-organ donation activists.

Things like "in the German language, the correct way to use X punctuation is Y".
And then they're citing some private institute or foundation whose mission goal is to fix language and write style guides, or some state ministry.
Like, I am in #linguistics. Of an encyclopedia like #Wikipedia, I expect objective information!

Quick question: Is there a specific English-language term for "the cousin of one's father"?
