Meeting Description:

ColDoc is a biennial international colloquium organized by MoDyCo
laboratory (UMR 7114 - CNRS/Université Paris Nanterre) aimed at young
researchers and doctoral students in linguistics.

For its 15th edition, ColDoc proposes to address an overview of
linguistics in a context of technological changes. There are indeed
close relationships between linguistics, language data in the broad
sense, and new technologies, to the extent that they now seem
inseparable. This linkage is of multiple orders and is part of
linguistic research.

Linguistics in a New Era: Discourse, Methods, and Technologies in the
Contemporary Landscape

ColDoc is a biennial international colloquium organized by MoDyCo
laboratory (UMR 7114 - CNRS/Université Paris Nanterre) aimed at young
researchers and doctoral students in linguistics.

For its 15th edition, ColDoc proposes to address an overview of
linguistics in a context of technological changes. There are indeed
close relationships between linguistics, language data in the broad
sense, and new technologies, to the extent that they now seem
inseparable. This linkage is of multiple orders and is part of
linguistic research.

The opening of new fields of study in linguistics has led to the
development of tools for the elaboration, collection, and processing
of various data.

The study of under-resourced or under-described languages, for
example, requires the adaptation of natural language processing (NLP)
tools, signal processing, or collection of audiophonological data
(EGG/EMA/ultrasound), whether for automatic analysis or to assist
field linguists (Bird, 2022; Ponti, 2019). Working with large or
diverse corpora requires new statistical analysis methods to be
representative (Levshina, 2019).

Similarly, research in psycholinguistics on topics such as
multilingualism, language acquisition and aging (Bogliotti et al.,
2017), or pathological language (Zhao et al., 2022), involves
behavioral data (tools such as e-Prime, eye movements) and
electrophysiological data (EEG/fMRI) to study the various cognitive
processes involved in language processing (Peyre & Ramus, 2023).

However, technology is not limited to serving as an analytical tool;
it also constitutes a vector for language production.

New multimodal discourses are generated, take shape, and circulate in
digital spaces (such as social networks). At the same time, new
discursive genres impose themselves by their centrality in the public
and daily debate, highlighting themes such as violence against women
(Association Faire Face, 2018; Lapalus, 2015) or the climate emergency
(Parrenin & Vargas, 2020). The question of the status of these
discourses and their genre then arises (Rakotonoelina & Reboul-Touré,
2020).

Finally, with the public availability of large language models,
notably through text generation (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.), but also in
other applications such as translation (DeepL, Google Translate,
etc.), technological tools become sources of language data and
artificial corpora, constituting in turn an object of study (for
translation, for example, see Loock, Lechauguette & Holt, 2022).

We invite doctoral students and young researchers to propose
communications addressing these various questions. Works, regardless
of their stage of development, may address new discourses and/or
highlight new tools, methodologies, and innovative theoretical
frameworks. This diversity of perspectives will allow specialists from
different domains or technical backgrounds, such as psycholinguistics,
discourse analysis, language modeling, etc., who share a contemporary
view of research in linguistics, to meet and exchange

Doctoral students and researchers interested in the subject are
invited to submit a communication proposal in Word format of a maximum
of 2 pages excluding bibliography (Times New Roman font, font size 12)
via the form on the ColDoc website:
https://coldoc2024.sciencesconf.org/

· Presentations can be made in the form of oral communications,
posters, or demonstrations.
· Submission languages are French and English.
· Communication proposals must be anonymous. Please also specify
whether it is a proposal for an oral communication or a poster.
· The submission deadline is set for May 15th, 2024.

Deadline for proposals : May 15, 2024
Deadline for registration : September 1, 2024
Date: October 14-15, 2024
