This conference will explore the rapidly evolving intersections between AI and language-based disciplines, bringing together perspectives from linguistics, literary and cultural studies, language education, and translation and interpreting. As AI systems increasingly shape how language is analyzed, produced, taught, and mediated, they invite both new methodological possibilities and critical reflection. The conference aims to examine how AI can model linguistic structure, meaning, variation, lea

We would like to invite contributions to PsychLing-101, a community-driven repository that collects psycholinguistic datasets in a unified format for both traditional analyses and evaluation of large language models.

This thesis traces the formation of a deaf community in Guinea-Bissau and the emergence of its sign language, L铆ngua Gestual Guineense (LGG), offering rare real-time documentation of how a language develops from gestural roots. The relative absence of medical approaches to deafness enabled a free-signing environment in schools and informal meeting places. Within two decades, the first generation of signers in Bissau established a proud community and shaped an autochthonous sign language.

Dialectometry is a quantitative branch of dialectology, which makes use of computational and statistical methods on dialect data in order to understand language variation in space. The current dissertation presents how dialectometry can deepen our understanding of the variation of Yue dialects spoken in Southern China. It also shows how Yue can help us to broaden the scope of computational methods used in dialectometry, particularly in accounting for tonal languages, which are common in the worl
This dissertation investigated cross-cultural vocal emotion recognition by four groups of listeners鈥擠utch, Korean, American English, and French listeners, responding to emotional speech utterances produced by either Dutch or Korean actors portraying four basic (anger, fear, joy, sadness) and four non-basic (pride, relief, tenderness, irritation) emotions. Both categorical and dimensional approaches to emotions were pursued. The project comprised three perception experiments and one simulation st

Workshop Description:
When we refer to entities and events in our environment, particularly (but not only) when visual information is present, we have choices. Depending on what has been said before, who or what else is in a scene, and the characteristics of what we want to refer to, we might say (among many other options) "the person running", "the runner", "the woman in the red shirt", "the one with the glasses", or "them over there". The extent of this variation in refe
