  1. Just to show I’ll give AI credit where credit is due…

    I had been pondering this from time to time over many years. AI gave a damn good answer and thera- err… debriefing session:

    As a freshman undergraduate psychology major at CMU in 1987, we were required to earn credit as subjects in graduate student experiments. I was in a brief, no more than an hour-long experiment in which I was typing on a terminal in a room on my own and told I was communicating with another student whom I never did meet and whose text lines to me came up on my screen. The topic we were told to discuss, I suspect was arbitrary, and had something to do with policies on stores selling alcohol to underage purchasers.

    In this experiment was I communicating with an early AI prototype?

    Also, all these years later, is it unusual that not having a final debriefing about the experiment bothers me slightly?

    Damn! Now I want to apologize to the researchers (again) for having been such a slow typist 😁.

  2. Great presentation just now by @andreanini on the "Lambda G" approach to #authorship verification implemented in the #idiolect package for R: github.com/andreanini/idiolect

    Very interesting not just for authorship attribution, but also for #keyness / distinctiveness analysis!

  3. I embrace language change, but I'm real real interested to see if "may I help who's next" becomes a productive sentence structure, or calcifies instead, considering how strongly ungrammatical I find it.

  4. I didn't know there was an #idiolect hashtag that was looking for people to pay attention to it. This is where I learned the idea of an #idiolect, the notion of an individual specific dialectical form: From a language coach talking about the work involved in impersonating a *person* well, including getting their language right.

  5. Came across this chapter on by Tim Grant - I loved the sophisticated theoretical discussion about the idea of idiolect and cognitive & stylistic frameworks!
    Also, can I just say “4n6” is genius 😁 not going to spell the word any other way from now on

  6. As you may know, your idiolect is your individual speech pattern / choice of words. It particularly includes any unusual or unique words or phrases you favor.

    Today, from Bob's Idiolect:

    Spongebob, verb: In lieu of a nice long shower, to perform, while standing up, a fast wash 'n' dry of one's sweatier bits. "We can leave in 10 minutes — just let me spongebob a bit."
