I'm pleased to share my new free and open-source language analysis app, MiMo: https://github.com/nickriches/MiMoShinyLive. It's aimed at both speech and language therapists and students of language acquisition more generally. The app replicates key features of CLAN, such as automatic calculation of MLU, but without the steep learning curve. It also provides a user-friendly way to explore linguistic data, e.g. colour-coding word classes, searching for particular words, and plotting normative d

Call for Papers: Pragmasophia 5 2026 (11-14 May) This is a conference on any aspect of pragmatics and philosophy (whether theoretical or experimental).

Focus: Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed a clear paradigm shift: the transition from rule-based approaches to data-driven language models. While rule-based approaches dominated NLP for many years, during the 1990s and early 2000s they gradually gave way to statistical and machine-learning methods. It would be fair to say that data-driven models—and, most prominently, Deep Learning (DL), including more recently Large Language Models (LLMs)—have taken the world by storm. Deep Learnin

This workshop explores the shift from controlled laboratory recordings to crowdsourced and automatically aligned speech data. Advances in speech technology and annotation tools now enable large-scale phonetic research but raise questions about data reliability, interpretability, and ethics. Alignment errors and variable recording conditions are especially common in spontaneous and heterogeneous data, where they challenge traditional analytical assumptions.
