Como explica Alberto Blecua, en su ya clásico Manual de crítica textual , el error de copia es la razón de ser de la crítica textual (18). Por error se entiende el acto de copiar algo diferente a lo que aparece en un modelo (antígrafo) del que se copia –aunque, como explicaré en una próxima entrada dedicada al error, no copiar lo mismo puede no ser un error–. Tanto Balduino (53) como Blecua (19), entre muchos otros, proponen una serie de
As I posted a while ago, from January 2023 I will be working at Crossref while retaining my university Professorship. I wanted, here, to outline a few of the projects that I hope to work on once I get started there. I should say upfront: I am afraid there is no time estimate on these and we can’t guarantee to prioritise any particular project. But if there is one that stands out to you, do let me know, as this serves as a useful community gauge.
Recently I’ve written two posts about bright resonance in response to Lake Bell’s audiobook chapter, “Sexy Baby Voice.” Bell describes “sexy baby voice” as having three characteristic features: “high pitch”, “vocal fry” and “slurring.” My first post supported Byron Ahn’s analysis that found that Bell’s “sexy baby voice” samples didn’t have reliably higher pitch than the non-“sexy baby voice” samples, and suggested that she’s probably talking
Over two years ago I wrote about the unstoppable tide of uninformation that follows the rise of large language models. With ChatGPT and other models bringing large-scale text generation to the masses, I want to register a dystopian prediction.

Like many years, 2022 was a year of health problems for me. The entire year has been overshadowed by the episode of kidney failure that I suffered as a result of BK virus associated nephropathy. It is fair to say that I have been quite seriously unwell. I also spent a long period of this year, in my spare time, campaigning for protection of the immunocompromised with the monoclonal antibody therapy, Evusheld.
A few weeks ago I posted about “Sexy baby voice,” the topic of a chapter in Lake Bell’s audiobook about the culture and politics of voices.

I wrote most of this post in June 2022, before a lot of us decided to try out Mastodon. I didn’t publish it because I despaired of it making a difference. It felt like so many people were set in particular practices, including not reading blog posts! My experience on Mastodon has been so much better than the past several years on Twitter. I think this is connected with how Twitter and Mastodon handle threads.
En el irresuelto debate sobe si se deben o no mantener las grafías Et y et –llamadas a veces tironianas, aunque, desde mediados del siglo 14 funcionan como alógrafos de E y e–, el sistema del HSMS, que explico en la sección Normas de transcripción, permite optar por la segunda opción en...
