What a marvelous plenary by Laurence Anthony — a true celebration of past, present, and future in trusting the text. Can’t wait to put the new local #OpenWeighs-powered AntConc through its paces! #cl2025 #trustthetext

But what I find hard to conceive
Is just how strong a predictor
Sequence can be too see
The genre
The style
The timbre
All from lines of words
AI can't even see
And has never heard.
Large patterns in small
With meaning threaded
Through all.
