You are cordially invited to the annual International Meeting of Young
Linguists with the subtitle THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGE: HUMAN AND AI IN
DIALOGUE?
The conference tradition began in 2000 at the Czech Language Institute
of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and has continued at the
Faculty of Arts, Palacký University Olomouc since 2001. The event
hosts MA students, PhD candidates, and young post-doc researchers in
various disciplines of linguistics.
Main topics of the conference:
- AI as a tool, an assistant, a threat: linguistic representations of
artificial intelligence.
- AI in various linguistic and related fields, in scientific
production, and in journalism.
- The future of linguistic diversity: promotion or decline of smaller
languages?
- Ethical aspects of AI (censorship, manipulation, disinformation,
plagiarism, reliability of sources, etc.).
- The boundaries of comprehension: how technology transforms
intercultural communication?
- How is AI affecting language production and creativity, how is it
transforming linguistics?
- The role of AI in language education.
- Machine translation: benefits and limitations.
- Corpus linguistics and automated data analysis.
- Natural language understanding and generation (NLU and NLG).
- “Summarise this in 50 words”: automated text summarisation.
- Sociolinguistics and AI: my chatbot/voicebot friend.
We welcome proposals for presentations and short presentations in the
form of abstracts related to the general topic and/or the
abovementioned topics.
The languages of the conference are English, Czech, and Slovak.
