Subject: [Syd-corpus-lab] Sydney Corpus Lab October 2022 Newsletter

Dear Sydney Corpus Lab members and affiliates,
We hope this email finds you well. This is the fourth edition of our new monthly newsletter where we aim to let you know about news and updates relating to recent and upcoming corpus linguistics (and text analytics) events/resources. If you want us to include anything in the next newsletter, please email info at sydneycorpuslab.com<mailto:info at sydneycorpuslab.com>.
News and events from the Lab
A belated update regarding a new collaboration (in terms of mutual support and sharing of information/resources) between the Sydney Corpus Lab and the University of Western Australia's Language Lab<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/7GbXCGv0oyCJNo0jOIK_0UU?domain=aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com> (a hub for the study of human language and its connection to history, community, and culture). This new collaboration aligns well with the lab's interest in combining corpus linguistics with sociolinguistics as well as discourse analysis and other linguistic methods.
Raphael Lo Schiavo-Rega recently wrote a blog post<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/_r0gCJyBrGf8WP10ACGnC_U?domain=sydneycorpuslab.com/> about his Masters research on the reporting of the 2021 United States Capitol attack in The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald. If you've missed any other blog posts from the Sydney Corpus Lab, they can be found here<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/ZRk6CK1DvKTqy0B3MC3paRq?domain=sydneycorpuslab.com/>. We welcome contributions by Australian researchers and students working with corpus linguistics and/or text analytics. Please let us know if you are interested.
The Sydney Corpus Lab is hosting a few talks this semester. The next talk will be a lecture by Dr Martin Schweinberger titled 'From the Darkness to the Light: Reproducibility, Replication and Transparency in Corpus Linguistics'. The talk will take place on Tuesday 25 October at 6pm AEDT (5:00 pm AEST/9:00 am CEST/8:00 am BST).

ATAP/LDaCA project events
The Australian Text Analytics Platform<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-Sg9CQnMBZf61m3zlTG-HuX?domain=atap.edu.au/> (ATAP) and the Language Data Commons of Australia<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/HgT3CROND2urD8R70SWSj2T?domain=ldaca.edu.au/> (LDaCA) are collaborative projects led by the University of Queensland and supported by the Australian Research Data Commons<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Wc1UCVARKgCln15Okux_FwF?domain=ardc.edu.au/> to develop infrastructure for researchers who work with language data. At Sydney, we're involved through the Sydney Corpus Lab, the Sydney Informatics Hub (SIH), and PARADISEC.

The Sydney Informatics Hub is conducting a webinar on 'Analysing conversation and social media data with the ATAP Discursis tool'. The webinar will take place on Thursday 10 November at 12pm AEDT (11am AEST).

This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn more about their work. The activities will be of interest to anyone who conducts research which includes language data, especially those who use or would like to use computational tools in their research. Participants should bring their own computer; no software is required beyond a web browser. You can register for this workshop, while registering for the conference online<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/3zNKCXLW2mUnP3qpDHLqOmi?domain=als.asn.au>.
