Felicity Conditions

Language research, the promises a university makes, and a campus that speaks

Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026-2031 sets out four priorities for research into language in use, from a Commissives Corpus of every undertaking minuted by its committees to a Campus Utterance Register of the recorded announcements its lifts, barriers and fire panels make. It commits the University to describing its own institutional register before prescribing it, and enters its own undertakings in the Corpus first.
