Building a Shakespeare character network
Ten years ago I wrote a small Shiny app that drew a network of Macbeth’s characters. I showed it to colleagues working on Shakespeare, they liked it, I posted it, and then I left...

Eight years ago I wrote a post called Word embeddings: the (very) basics. It apparently struck a chord, because people still find it, still link to it, and occasionally still email me about it....
In Corpus Linguistics and Statistics with R, I showed how to make a word cloud from a text file (Section 6.3). A word cloud is a user-friendly way of representing a frequency list graphically....
A while back, I wrote about a Shiny app I built for my Master students at Université Bordeaux Montaigne, one that automates the choice between a χ² test and Fisher’s exact test of independence...
As corpus linguists, we often grapple with the question of how to empower students who may not have extensive coding skills to design tools that fit their research needs. With this in mind, I developed a modest yet very helpful Shiny app that simplifies running [latex]\chi^2[/latex] and Fisher’s exact tests for independence while offering access to the underlying code. This blog post explores how the app was built, its assets and limitations, and reflects on pedagogical goals.
As a corpus linguist, I happen to teach my students how to use R for text analysis. However, due to the steep learning curve associated with R, I sometimes need to provide more accessible,...
Each academic year, I lead my Master’s students in English linguistics on an intellectual journey that traces the evolution from traditional structuralist semantics to contemporary cognitive linguistics. A significant moment of this journey is...
