I'm very excited to share the pre-print for our new position paper!
The Sociolinguistics Foundations of Language Modeling
doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2407.…
A quick 🧵summing up our main claims...
Dr. Elvis ResCue retweeted
In this paper, we argue that LLMs are inherently models of 'Varieties of Language'
We then consider how this sociolinguistic perspective can inform a range of basic problems in Language Modeling

I am delighted to announce the book launch for Language as Statecraft will take place at Leeds (hybrid) on 11/6/24! Better still, it will be part of an afternoon of thinking about English, Capitalism, and Colonialism, also featuring the great @drjohnoregan! Details below 👇👇👇
I've been sitting on this for a while, but it's time 🥁🥁🥁
Language as Statecraft is with @RoutledgeLing - out July 15th! The book began as an inquiry into Rwanda's recent transition from French to English. It became a story about statecraft, social class, and global English.🧵
