Meeting Description:

The Poznań Linguistic Meeting (PLM) is an annual general linguistics
conference organized by the Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University,
Poznań.


2nd Call for Papers:

“What can linguists offer to AI? Unique contributions of linguistics to
science and beyond.”

08–10 September 2022

The extended submission deadline on 31 March 2022 is approaching. 

In recent years, advances in broadly construed Artificial Intelligence have
made an impact on all aspects of life, and linguistics is not an exception.
The digital revolution has come about in great part through progress in speech
and language processing technology such as text mining and conversational AI.
This has also had a profound impact on linguistics as a scientific discipline:
it seems like machines are now able to “learn” anything, even such complex
human skills such as speech and language.
Or are they? Are we truly on the verge of solving all the major problems of
natural language via modelling in technical systems? Apart from assessing how
far we have come in the area of text-based and speech-based Artificial
Intelligence, we also ask, does the current revolution mean that the traffic
of knowledge is one-way only?

We invite you to join the discussion, but let us be very clear: you are
welcome also – or perhaps especially – if you think that linguistics can still
offer a lot to technology, science, and the growth of human knowledge in
general. We will be interested in hearing of all the undeniable successes of
language technology, but also about languages that are underserved by existing
technologies, the pitfalls of neural machine translation, the shortcomings of
dialogue systems, or simply about the research in sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics, syntax or phonology, and any other subdiscipline that can
only be done by humans, on humans. 
Contributions from all subdisciplines of linguistics not related to the
leitmotif are also more than welcome.

* PLENARY EVENTS

Keynote lecture:

* Alexandra Aikhenvald (CQ University Australia): “In with the new: How
technological advances affect minority languages of Amazonia and New Guinea”

Confirmed plenary speakers:
* Krzysztof Jassem (Adam Mickiewicz University): “Can we defeat Google
translate”
* Johann-Mattis List (MPI-EVA, Leipzig)

As is our tradition, we will conclude with a Grand Debate related to the
leitmotif.

* THEMATIC SESSIONS

There will be four open thematic sessions and a special session:

* Multilingual ecologies in a comparative perspective: well-being of speakers,
social practices and challenges to linguistic diversity. Organized by Justyna
Olko and Katarzyna Wojtylak (Warsaw University)
* Conversational AI revolution? Not without speech sciences. Where are we, how
far can we go when speech technology and sciences work with each other.
Organized by Zofia Malisz (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm)
* How language and emotion interact in a bilingual mind. Convened by Guillaume
Thierry and Rafał Jończyk (AMU)
* Investigating bi-/multilingual acquisition in different populations and
varied settings from interdisciplinary perspectives. Convened by Magdalena
Wrembel (AMU), Ewa Haman (UW), Marit Westergaard (UiT), Anne Dahl (NTNU),
Roumyana Slabakova (NTNU), Nina Garmann (OsloMet/ MultiLing, UiO)
* NEW Approaches to the Study of Sound Structure and Speech. A special session
in honour of prof. Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk. Organized by Agnieszka
Kiełkiewicz-Janowiak, Magdalena Wrembel and Piotr Gąsiorowski (AMU) 

* PhD SESSION

Another PLM tradition, that of our special session aimed at young researchers
looking for feedback on their PhD projects, will see a new development this
year. We are very happy to announce that we can offer conference fee waivers
to the authors of the ten abstracts submitted by PhD candidates receiving the
best review scores. This is made possible by a subsidy from the Ministry of
Education.

* SUBMISSIONS

All the relevant information is available from our web page.

Looking forward to seeing you in Poznan!
