We are pleased to announce the upcoming online workshop on Integrating AI support in ESP classes, organized as part of the Erasmus+ project 鈥淓mpowering Specialized Language Acquisition with Integrated AI鈥� (ELITE-AI). The project focuses on English for Specific Purposes (ESP), addressing the language needs of learners in specialised domains such as tourism, mobility, law, criminal justice, education, social media marketing and sport, while strengthening digital readiness and pedagogical innovatio
There has been tremendous progress in the development of large language models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications over the last decades. However, the majority of work has focussed on a small number of well-described, mainly European languages. Yet in order to fully harness the advantages of the AI revolution, no language should be left behind 鈥� including African languages.
Africa is home to about 2,000 languages, ranging from major world languages like Swahili to many underd

Participation is completely voluntary and will not take more than 5-10 minutes of your time. Please read each question carefully and answer as honestly and candidly as possi
Scope and goals of the volume:
Drawing on corpus-based research, the book investigates how clause architecture, embedding, dependency relations, and phrase-level elaboration contribute to complex meaning-making. It demonstrates how syntactic choices are determined by functional pressures such as transitivity, agency, perspective, thematic progression, and the need to package information in discourse. In addition, the book investigates variation in complexity across spoken and written registe
Call for Papers:
The Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Processing and Learning Workshop (X-PPL) brings together the growing community of researchers working to expand the diversity of languages in the scope of psycholinguistic and neuroscience research. This research is driven by the recognition that structural/typological and socio-cultural diversity provides important and unique opportunities to see language processing and language learning mechanisms at work. The bulk of processing and acqui

The Seoul International Conference on Generative Grammar (SICOGG) is an annual conference bringing together generative linguistics from East Asia and around the world to present and discuss current research related to generative syntax and its interfaces. Each year, SICOGG invites a keynote speaker to deliver a series of lectures on a special topic related to the speaker鈥檚 current research. SICOGG 28 will take place at Chungnam National University in Daejeon, Korea, from Augu

Call for Papers:
Language resources are the foundation of linguistic research and NLP. Corpora, lexicons, annotated datasets, benchmarks, and models are produced at an unprecedented pace. Yet their long-term stewardship, interoperability, and reuse remain inconsistent and often fragile. Rapid creation has outpaced sustainable design. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, infrastructure providers, data stewards, and policy actors who are committed to building durable language resou

The Next Gen Learning: Multimodality, AI & Multilingualism Conference foregrounds multimodality as a central lens for understanding and shaping the future of education in a world where acquiring knowledge is dynamic and deeply interconnected. As learning increasingly unfolds across digital, physical, linguistic and cultural spaces, meaning-making extends beyond language to include images, sound, gesture, movement, and material interaction, allowing knowledge to be created and experienced in rich
COLDOC is a biannual conference organized by doctoral students and early-career researchers at the MoDyCo laboratory (UMR 7114 鈥� CNRS/Universit茅 Paris Nanterre). This year's edition will be held on November 9th and 10th.
For its 16th edition, COLDOC centers on the interfaces and interactions that connect all areas of linguistics and natural language processing. Language is inherently an interactive phenomenon, yet the forms and frameworks through which interaction manifests have continued to di
