Confs: 1st Annual Conference: Language at Crossroads
In “The Object Called ‘Language’ and the Subject of Linguistics,” Asif Agha reminds us that language is not merely an object among others, but an institutionally organized medium through which social life is conducted, organized, and made meaningful. This perspective carries an important consequence: the study of any domain of human life can be illuminated through the study of language, provided that we develop analytical models that function as “bridging constructs.” Such constructs link observ
Confs: Priming, Analogy and Linguistic Creativity
Priming and analogy are central mechanisms in human language. Priming supports the activation of linguistic structures and meanings, while analogy enables speakers to extend patterns and recognise relational similarities. Although both mechanisms are well studied, they have largely been investigated in isolation. Recent research, however, suggests that they may be deeply interconnected, even as the directionality of this relationship remains a matter of debate. The workshop aims to contribute to

The Constructed Agents theme provides a forum for exploring how humans develop their understanding of AI agents from their exposure to representations of agents in literature and film. The conference explores how and to what extent representations of non-human sentient agents such as Frankenstein’s creature in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel and Hal in 2001 Space Odyssey may shape views of today’s language-using AI agents including those for language learning.
Abstracts are invited for presentation
