The LAW-XIX will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations, semi-supervised “human in the loop” methods of annotation, crowd-sourcing approaches, and more. Special Theme The special theme of LAW-XIX is "*Subjectivity and variation in linguistic annotations*". In addition to LAW's general topics, we specifically invite submissions on: * Subjectivity and human label variation in linguistic annotations * Learning from annotation disagreements * Detecting annotation noise in human label variation * Accounting for subjectivity in label aggregation * Ways to aggregate multiple annotators' labels beyond majority vote * Any other topics related to the special theme. Regarding subjectivity, we are particularly interested in work addressing the*annotation of multidimensional constructs from the political and social sciences* and encourage submissions on the following topics: * Theory-driven operationalization of complex political or socio-psychological constructs, * such as populism, moral values, or stereotypes Creation of linguistically annotated datasets that capture such constructs * Relation between theories and textual annotations * Challenges for the measurement of multidimensional constructs from text * Challenges for validating (a) theories, (b) annotations * Implications and risks for manual annotation and automatic prediction of socio-psychological constructs from text. Important Dates All submission deadlines are 11:59 p.m. UTC-12:00 “anywhere on Earth.” Workshop papers due (ARR Commitment) Mar 25, 2025 Workshop papers due (Direct Submission) April 04, 2025 Notification of acceptance May 16, 2025 Camera-ready papers due May 30, 2025 Workshop date July/Aug, 2025 Submissions Please submit your paper here: https://softconf.com/acl2025/law2025 For more information on the workshop and submission formats, please refer to the workshop homepage: https://sigann.github.io/LAW-XIX-2025 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the program co-chairs at law2025workshop(a)gmail.com.

Dear Colleagues, In response to multiple requests, we are pleased to announce an extension for abstract submissions to the Learner Corpus Research Graduate Conference 2025, organized under the aegis of the Learner Corpus Association. The revised submission deadline is April 25, 2025. LCRGrad25 will be hosted by the Chair of English and Digital Linguistics, Chemnitz University of Technology, and will take place virtually on 22-23-24 October 2025. The main aim of the conference, as in the previous editions, is to offer a space for MA and PhD students as well as researchers who have earned their doctoral degree in the last two years prior to the conference to discuss their (ongoing) projects. Researchers who already hold a doctoral degree are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend as panelists, mentors or non-presenting delegates, helping to ensure a fruitful academic dialogue and to foster the careers of graduate students and recent graduates within the field of Learner Corpus Research. The central theme of this year’s conference is “The Pattern Beneath”. This theme celebrates the unique role of learner corpus research in uncovering the underlying structures and patterns of learner language through LCR. It emphasizes the field’s potential to provide insights into second language acquisition, linguistic development, and the intricacies of language use in educational contexts. We invite submissions across a range of formats to foster diverse discussions and engagement: • Papers (20-minute presentation): Original, completed research with substantial findings. • Work-in-Progress Paper (15-minute presentation): Presentation of ongoing research for feedback, collaborative discussions and ideas for improvement. • Workshops or Software Demonstrations (45-60 minutes): Hands-on, interactive sessions or demonstrations of corpus tools or technologies. • Roundtable Discussions (45 minutes): Topic proposals for collaborative and in-depth discussions among participants are welcome. • Panel Proposals (90 minutes): A panel with 3–4 speakers ideally made up of supervisors/senior researchers and graduate students on one of the sub-themes of LCRGrad25. • Posters: Completed research or works-in-progress in a visually engaging format. Digital posters are to be submitted with a short video (max. 3 minutes) prior to the start of the conference. The videos will be made available throughout the conference for asynchronous comments and questions. The call for papers and abstract submission guidelines can be found on the conference website: https://lcrgrad2025.tu-chemnitz.de KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Prof. Dr. Randi Reppen: Professor Emerita of Applied Linguistics and TESL at Northern Arizona University Prof. Dr. Michaela Mahlberg: Professor of Digital Humanities, Alexander-von-Humboldt Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Dr. Dana Gablasova: Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University IMPORTANT DATES 25.04.2025 Abstract submission deadline 10.06.25 Notification of acceptance 15.06.25 Presenter registration deadline Additional highlights of LCRGrad25: - Registration is free of charge for all participants. - Sessions will be hosted on Zoom, ensuring accessibility for participants world-wide. - To accommodate participants from various time zones, the conference will adopt a flexible and inclusive schedule. - Ask-Me-Anything Panels and Research Consultation Clinics with leading experts. - Interactive sessions connecting Early Career Researchers and Senior Academics. - Awards and recognitions for best paper and best poster. - Soft skills workshops: Hands-on sessions to enhance skills like publishing, career planning, data visualization, and networking.
