Submission Deadline: 06-Aug-2025

We invite abstract submissions for the upcoming HK 3.0 Workshop, a
three-day event that brings together scholars in linguistics,
developmental psychology, cognitive science, data science, and related
disciplines. HK (Humanities Korea) is a national initiative supporting
long-term, interdisciplinary research in the humanities. This workshop
contributes to that mission by fostering dialogue on language and
cognition across the lifespan, with a special focus on Korean contexts
and data-driven methodologies. The event will consist of two days of
research presentations (Days 1–2) and a full-day tutorial workshop
(Day 3) focused on long-form recordings and their use in studying
naturalistic language environments. Although the core schedule for the
upcoming HK 3.0 Workshop is largely in place, we’re happy to welcome a
small number of additional abstract submissions for consideration in a
few remaining presentation slots and a poster session.
Workshop Themes Include (but are not limited to):
 - Language development from infancy to old age
 - Cognitive aging and communication
 - Naturalistic and longform speech data
 - AI-supported methods in linguistic analysis
 - Bilingualism and sociocultural influences

 - Computational and statistical modeling of speech and text
