What do you associate with the term “heat wave”? Beach weather? ☀️🏖️ Excess mortality? ⚠️🔥 The emotions and associations that terms like “climate change” and others trigger in people depend heavily on the context in which the topic is framed by the media. 📰 short.wu.ac.at/yrth

An excellent article (use link). Its time to abandon nonverbal behaviour as a deception cue. 50 years of research show no support for it. Polygraph, voice stress analysis, microexpressions, eye tracking - its all pseudoscience. #Deception crestresearch.ac.uk/download/490...

That’s a wrap on #IPrA2025! We organised a panel on regional (im)politeness variation, presented our own work on variation in the USA, and then gave a methods paper looking at discourses of chronic pain from both an interactional sociolinguistics and a CADS perspective. What a great few days. 🇦🇺

What do you think of when you hear the term "climate change"? Whatever it may be, it's probably partly shaped by the media. WU researcher @mathewgillings.bsky.social has looked into the discourse around climate change in UK newspapers. In our newest video, he shares some interesting results:
