Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) have resulted in improved performance of applications. In particular, there has been a growing interest in employing AI methods in different Cyber Security applications. In today's digital world, Cyber Security has emerged as a heightened priority for both individual users and organisations. As the volume of online information grows exponentially, traditional security approaches often strugg

How do we persuade someone to act against their initial intentions? How do we reshape what they think about an issue? Language is our most powerful tool for influence. We use it to convince, persuade, cajole, and coax, often without even realizing it. Words mold opinions, shift attitudes, and guide behavior. This symposium places the persuasive power of language at its very core. Linguists have traditionally examined the workings of persuasive language in institutionalized discourses, draw

Call for Papers: We invite submissions to the 2nd Workshop on Ecology, Environment, and Natural Language Processing. We are particularly interested in contributions that push the boundaries of linguistics and NLP research in the context of ecological and environmental crisis and that foster interdisciplinary collaboration. We invite submissions in the following categories: - Regular Papers (from a minimum of 4 up to 8 pages) - Non-archival contributions (up to 4 pages). Regular papers

Final Call for Papers: Submission deadline extension: February 6 2026 (23:59 CET) We are happy to announce that the 6th edition of the Linguistics Prague conference will be held from June 4 to June 5 2026 at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in the historical center of Prague. The conference will take place in person. The aim of the conference is to bring together graduate students and early career researchers whose research addresses any topics relevant to linguistics and is

We are pleased to announce the Workshop on Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models (KG–LLM 2026), to be held in conjunction with LREC 2026 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, May 16th 2026. We invite submissions of original research that leverages both Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in any domain of Natural Language Processing or language resource development.

The Metagram seminar (https://htl.cnrs.fr/seminaire-metagram/) is a monthly seminar on questions of grammaticography and metagrammaticography. The seminar takes place the second Tuesday of each month, Feb-May and Sept-Dec, in hybrid mode. It is supported by the Empirical Foundations of Linguistics infrastructure project. The seminar is one of two strands within a research project, “Developing (meta)grammaticographical methods”, coordinated by Aimée Lahaussois and Yvonne Treis, which centers a

Guest Editors: Takaaki Hiratsuka and Luis Javier Pentón Herrera Critical Inquiry in Language Studies (CILS) invites abstracts for a special issue entitled “Critical Inquiry into Trans-Speakerism.” Trans-speakerism is a stance in language education that replaces ‘native-speaker’ privilege with fair recognition of all speakers/teachers. In practical terms, it means focusing on effective communication and professional competence by referring to speakers, including teachers, as individual profes

Join our PhD Series session: Applying for a PhD – Weighing Your Options. Got PhD offers? Congratulations! But now comes the tricky part — how do you choose between them? In this session, we’ll walk you through key things to consider, including: - City vs. university - Academic fit vs. level of support - Large departments vs. small departments Join the last instalment of the LAGB PSC's applying to Linguistics PhDs series: weighing your offers. Where will we walk you through our decis

This conference aims to explore how language use is shaped by digital spaces and how digital tools and data have revolutionized the fields of linguistics and language learning. Digital linguistics has developed into a thriving interdisciplinary field at the intersection of pragmatics, media linguistics, and applied language studies. The multifaceted field includes research ranging from multimodality (Bateman & Wildfeuer 2014), contextualization strategies (Androutsopoulos 2023), stance-taking (D

Focus: Participants will explore language evolution through a combination of theoretical courses, computational workshops, and master classes led by international experts. The summer school also features a dedicated workshop and poster session on the latest research in diachronic and computational linguistics. Up to 6 ECTS credits are available for successful participants. Apply here: https://forms.gle/xPBn15HdDjBiyknH9 The summer school covers a broad range of linguistic fields, including t

AI has transformed the way we live, work and think, bringing exceptional advances in healthcare, transportation and many other fields. As technology continues to advance almost on a daily basis, it opens up new opportunities, but may also favour potentially dangerous practices. It is, indeed, a double-edged sword. On the one hand, when used critically and responsibly, it enables data analysis at an unprecedented speed and scale to identify patterns, extract meaning and gain new insights. It e

Call for Papers: The Institute of Linguistics (Russian Academy of Sciences) is pleased to announce the 12th conference “Language issues: a young scholars’ perspective”, which will be held in person on 2–3 April 2026. Exceptions can be made for valid reasons — please contact us at smu@iling-ran.ru to discuss online attendance. Abstracts on the following topics are welcome: theoretical linguistics, comparative studies, descriptive linguistics, typology, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics,

Call for Papers: We welcome submissions on any topic related to experimental pragmatics, broadly construed. Areas of interest include theoretical and formal models of pragmatic processing, neuropragmatics, developmental and clinical pragmatics, multimodal communication, computational approaches, and research on language at the semantics–pragmatics interface. Submission Types: - Oral presentation - Poster presentation - Pre-registration poster — ideal for presenting study plans and re

Call for Papers: Overview: Non-Literal Expressions (NLEs) in natural language are a reflection of fundamental cognitive processes such as analogical reasoning and categorisation, and are deeply rooted in everyday communication. NLEs understanding is therefore an essential task for language modeling. This task is especially challenging because it cannot be tackled by falling back on individual word meanings, but requires taking into account larger chunks of surrounding text or even contextual

Description: Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber. By integrating acoustic analysis, typology, and recent EEG and behavioral findings, the meeting investigates how left- and right-hemispheric processes cooperate in decoding melodic s
