The symposium focuses on the impact of Machine Learning Technology on
Linguistics Research. It seeks to bring together scholars from various
subdisciplines within linguistics to engage in a discussion about the
ways in which machine-learning technology (commonly referred to as AI)
is impacting linguistic research. Despite the increasing
technologisation of language-focused research, there has been
relatively little reflection on its influence on linguistic
scholarship, particularly regarding the methodological,
epistemological and ontological dimensions of research. The intended
audience is focused on the linguistics community, broadly defined
(e.g. sociolinguistics, phonetics, corpus linguistics, pragmatics,
applied linguistics and language documentation), but it welcomes
contributions from interdisciplinary projects, including computational
linguists.
Contributors are asked to submit a 500-word abstract (excluding
references) to the guest editors: (iker.erdocia at dcu.ie,
bettinamigge at ucd.ie and BSchneider at europa-uni.de). Abstracts will be
evaluated based on their balanced representation of the different
subdisciplines within linguistics in the special issue and the overall
quality of their engagement with the proposed questions. Authors of
selected abstracts will be invited to present their papers at the
symposium that the co-editors will organise on June 9th and 10th at
Dublin City University. A limited amount of funding, generously
provided by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Dublin City
University, may be available to cover the costs of in-person
participation. Additionally, a selection of contributors will be
invited to submit a full paper (3,000-4,000 words), which will undergo
peer review for inclusion in a special issue of the journal
Linguistics Vanguard.
Please submit your abstract by 28th February to iker.erdocia at dcu.ie,
bettinamigge at ucd.ie and BSchneider at europa-uni.de
Iker Erdocia (Dublin City University), Bettina Migge (University
College Dublin) and Britta Schneider (European University Viadrina)
