The annual conference of the International Association of Predictive
Linguistics (IAPL) invites submissions that explore how anticipatory
mechanisms shape language, both in human cognition and in artificial
systems. The event brings together researchers, practitioners and
professionals who examine how linguistic behaviour emerges from
patterns that guide expectations, internal simulations and real time
adjustments during interaction.
The conference focuses on the links between theoretical insights,
language models and applied perspectives. Contributions may address
how prediction supports language production, how inner discourse
prepares articulated speech or how model based analysis reveals
recurrent structures in large collections of texts.
Submissions that study the relation between human anticipatory
processes and artificial predictive systems are welcomed, as well as
work that examines how these systems influence communicative
practices.
The conference focuses on the links between theoretical insights,
language models and applied perspectives. Contributions may address
how prediction supports language production, how inner discourse
prepares articulated speech or how model based analysis reveals
recurrent structures in large collections of texts.
The meeting aims to highlight approaches that connect linguistic
theory with cognitive modelling and practical applications in
education, technology, clinical settings or communication design.
Participants are invited to present research that investigates how
predictive mechanisms shape discourse organisation, interpretative
processes or evolving linguistic patterns across communities and
contexts.
The organizers encourage proposals that foster dialogue across
disciplines. The conference intends to provide an environment where
ideas can circulate and where predictive linguistics can be examined
as a developing framework that unites inner language, spoken
expression and computational inference.
Submissions should present original work that contributes to the
understanding of language as a prediction based system.
Presenters will be notified after the review process and details
regarding format, programme and registration will be communicated to
all selected contributors.
