The Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics (HUN-REN) invites
submissions to the 1st International Workshop on Language and Language
Models. This workshop is designed as a dedicated forum for scholars
and practitioners in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) to
discuss and evaluate large language models from an SSH perspective,
and to share best practices that can advance research and applications
within these fields.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- General language models: Critical and comparative analyses of
state-of-the-art language models, including their linguistic
competence, performance, and limitations.
- Cultural and linguistic perspectives: Investigations into the
cultural, cognitive, and scientific aspects of language processing,
including the unexplored territories of model behavior and linguistic
capability.
- Applications and best practices: Case studies and best practices in
applying AI to language research, highlighting the potential for
cross-disciplinary innovation within SSH.
- Bridging disciplines: Contributions that examine the role of
language models in reshaping traditional SSH methodologies, and
proposals on integrating AI insights into linguistic inquiry.
IMPORTANT DATES
30 June 2025: Submission deadline
15 September 2025: Notification of acceptance
20 November – 21 November 2025: Workshop in Budapest
15 January 2026: Full paper submission deadline
Submissions
We expect submissions in the form of extended abstracts (length: 3 to

ensure your submission clearly outlines your research question,
methodology, and preliminary findings.
Extended abstracts must be submitted through the EasyChair submission
system and will be reviewed by the Programme Committee. All proposals
will be reviewed on the basis of the following criteria:
- Appropriateness: The contribution must pertain to the topics listed
above
- Soundness and correctness: The content must be technically and
factually correct; methods must be scientifically sound, according to
best practice, and preferably evaluated.
- Meaningful comparison: The abstract must indicate that the author is
aware of alternative approaches, if any, and highlight relevant
differences.
- Substance: Concrete work and experiences will be given preference
over ideas and plans.
- Impact: Contributions with a higher impact on the research community
and society more broadly will be given preference over papers with
lower impact.
- Clarity: The abstract should be clearly written and well structured.
- Timeliness and novelty: The work must convey relevant new knowledge
to the audience at this event.
Proceedings
Selected papers will be published in Acta Linguistica Academica. After
