Meeting Description:

The Linguistic Society of Korea (LSK) is pleased to announce the 2024
Seoul International Conference on Linguistics (SICOL-2024) to be held
in a hybrid format on August 8-9 (Thur-Fri), 2024 at Kyung Hee
University, Seoul, Korea.

Call for Papers:

The theme for SICOL-2024 is ‘Reenvisioning linguistic creativity:
Language and AI in interaction.’ Recent advances in the development of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significant implications for
academia in general and language education and research specifically.
Linguistic research utilizing AIs usually focuses on what they can do
with language. There are growing discussions of how AIs based on a
large language model (LLM) understand and use language. Less
investigated, however, has been the possible role of novel generative
AI tools, such as AI LLM chatbots, in assisting researchers in the
conception, development, and execution of research and data analysis.
SICOL-2024 provides a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge
research focused on the theoretical and empirical study of ‘language
research in the era of post-generative AI’ from both perspectives:
what AIs can do with language and what they can do for linguists.

The SICOL-2024 organizing committee welcomes abstract submissions for
20-minute oral presentations, followed by 10 minutes for discussion
and questions. We invite papers related to the conference theme such
as applications of AI in language research, language education, and
communication. We also invite papers from all subfields of linguistics
(morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse, language
acquisition, variation, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics).
Equal consideration will be given to papers addressing the conference
theme and papers on other topics.

Abstract submission guidelines:
Abstracts should be submitted via Easy Abstracts (EasyAbs) at the
following conference page:
https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/SICOL-2024

Follow the online guidelines to upload your abstract in the .pdf
format. Only electronic submissions through the aforementioned link
will be considered. Abstracts must be anonymous and may not exceed 2
pages (A4 or US letter), including examples (embedded within the text)
as well as references, with 2.54 cm (1 inch) margin on all four sides
and should employ 12 point Times New Roman font.  Submissions are
limited to a maximum of one individual and one joint abstract per
author, or two joint abstracts per author.

Venue and mode:
To provide more flexibility to participants, we will offer the option
to attend in-person onsite at Kyung Hee University or online via zoom.
