The tenth edition of the Jornada de Descrição do Português (JDP -
Workshop on the Description of Portuguese) is a satellite event of
STIL (Symposium on Information Technology and Human Language) and
BRACIS (Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems), which will be
held in Fortaleza, Ceará, from September 29 to October 2, 2025. Over
its nine previous editions, JDP has contributed to bridging research
in linguistics and computer science, integrating these fields, which
interact interdisciplinarily to promote advances in the automatic
processing of the Portuguese language. Since the 2024 edition, JDP has
also opened space for minority languages spoken in Brazil.
Descriptive linguistics, in particular, has enormous potential to
contribute knowledge to natural language processing (NLP), in a way
that places Portuguese in a prominent position on the global stage,
alongside other languages (such as English, French, and Spanish) that
embraced this interdisciplinarity as early as the 1960s. Another
highly relevant role of descriptive linguistics is to provide support
for the computational processing of Brazilian indigenous languages and
other minority languages spoken in the country, such as quilombola,
immigrant, and other communities' languages. A large part of this
enormous linguistic diversity is under threat of extinction,
especially in the face of advances in language technologies, which
tend to privilege major language varieties, thereby digitally
excluding minority varieties.
The submitted papers relate to the major themes of linguistic
description, namely phonetics and phonology, lexical studies
(lexicology, lexicography, and terminology), syntax, semantics and
pragmatics, and text and discourse studies, within a wide range of
theoretical frameworks.
The conference welcomes papers not only on Portuguese but also on
minority and/or endangered languages of Brazil.
