Diana PayneIn the blizzard of ordure emanating from the big rotten apple core, at least some small pleasure can be derived from the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/lexical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lexical</a> whimsy it has inspired: Musk's swaticar, The Tsar Spangled banner, The Nerd Reich and Uncle Vancyr. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#words</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/America" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#America</a>

Joshua McNeill<a href="https://h4.io/tags/ZipfsLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZipfsLaw</a> makes it hard to study <a href="https://h4.io/tags/lexical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lexical</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/variation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#variation</a> in <a href="https://h4.io/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a>, but some features would be difficult even with very large <a href="https://h4.io/tags/corpora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corpora</a> due to being homophonous with a more frequent feature. One I've come across lately is "I hate it" where the <a href="https://h4.io/tags/demonstrative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demonstrative</a> "that" is more common, e.g. in response to seeing a scary clown image.<a href="https://h4.io/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/languagevariation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languagevariation</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/syntax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syntax</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/morphology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morphology</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/pronouns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pronouns</a>

Joshua McNeillSpotted "inventor extraordinary" rather than "inventor extraordinaire" in <a href="https://h4.io/tags/Spiderman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiderman</a> c1965. I was quite surprised to see there was a shift to the latter in American <a href="https://h4.io/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> and that it was relatively recent (<a href="https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=inventor+extraordinaire%2Cinventor+extraordinary&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=28&smoothing=3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=inventor+extraordinaire%2Cinventor+extraordinary&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=28&smoothing=3</a>).

Joshua McNeill<a href="https://lingo.lol/@JoFrhwld" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@JoFrhwld</a> Small caps maybe? I've seen that in <a href="https://h4.io/tags/semantics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#semantics</a> papers where there's a need to distinguish more levels of <a href="https://h4.io/tags/lexical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lexical</a> <a href="https://h4.io/tags/abstraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abstraction</a>.

One focus of my work has been on <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/Lexical" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Lexical</a> <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/Semantics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Semantics</a>, looking at how a word's <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/Meaning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Meaning</a> can be learnt from <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/Context" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Context</a>, and indeed what kind of <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/MeaningRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MeaningRepresentation</a> to use in the first place.
