On May 16 I’m giving a talk at the 9th Universal Dependencies workshop in Palma de Mallorca, collocated with LREC. The title of my talk is “Which languages are “hot”, and which are “cool”? Using Universal Dependencies for large-scale comparisons of subject expression”.

I’ll be teaching statistical methods for typologists at the thematic school on Experimental, Quantitative, Computational & Corpus Linguistics, which takes place on 1–5 June 2026 in Fréjus, France. This school brings together formal, experimental, field & computational linguists, with hands-on workshops on quantitative methods, NLP, corpus annotation and more. I’ll be teaching a course “A statistical toolkit for typology”, with practical R exercises on cross-linguistic data. We will discuss the following topics: phylogenetic regression for testing cross-linguistic correlations and implications, Multidimensional Scaling, conditional inference trees and random forests.
