Our third in a series of 10th birthday issue celebration conversations sees me talking with linguist, cultural historian and conceptual association scholar Constance de Silva (School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University, Australia) about her recent paper and ongoing research. We begin by discussing her beautifully illustrated article The Rise of Conceptual Association and Linguistic Register as Advertiser Persuasive Instruments: An Australian study of press artefacts 1800s–1950s, touching on elements from the rise of the water cure, emerging new concepts and meanings alongside the changing role of women in medicine. We also discuss her ongoing publishing activities and plans for future papers, before we close with a range of advice for fellow authors on getting published.
