I trust that they will usefully convey some of the information that I delivered orally on that day. I hope you&#8217;re not put off by the Greek title card, by the way; the rest of the presentation is in English. You might want to take a moment to consider why that must be the case.<\/p>\n<p>I wish to acknowledge the incisive feedback from the audience, which has helped me to further develop my tentative thoughts. In particular, I want to thank Adrian Holliday (Canterbury Christ) for helping me to understand that by &#8216;standardising&#8217; data, I am implicitly selecting and legitimising a standard, which is a political act in itself and therefore needs to be made transparent. Stavroula Pipyrou&#8217;s (Durham) caveats on tampering with data were also very cogent and highly appreciated. I stand by my point that ethical considerations must outweigh validity concerns when the two are in conflict, but Stavroula&#8217;s feedback has been useful in making me reflect on the implications that such modifications might have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Above all, I want to thank <strong><a title=\"Mariam's website (will open in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/mariamattia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mariam Attia<\/a><\/strong>, whose organisational skills continue to impress, and whose encouragement and overall support continue to inspire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">???? ?? ?? ??????<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 23rd, I had the privilege of attending the Researching Multilingually seminar that was organised by The University of Manchester, where I presented a brief talk about the various alternatives available for representing bilingual data in research output.
