Martin Schweinberger & Kate Burridge: Vulgarity in online discourse around the English-speaking world
(posted August 2025)
A Lingua paper on Vulgarity in online discourse around the English-speaking world by Martin Schweinberger (ISLE Vice-President Profession) and Kate Burridge (ISLE Prize and Nomination Committee) has sparked substantial public interest with appearances in the national news in Australia, live radio interviews across Australia (e.g., on ABC Radio Hobart, from minute 4:15 to 18:50), and even a The Guardian article about the study. Overall, more than 70 newspaper articles around the world that are based on or mention the study have appeared - including articles in The Washington Times, The Telegraph, EpochTimes, Popular Science, The Examiner, Yahoo News, MSN, MailOnline, and The Sydney Morning Herald among others.
