CfP: DGFS-AG Intensivierung/Intensification
by Brunner 04 Jun '25

<english version below> Call for Abstracts für die AG "m e e e e e e g a g e i l e Muster von InTeNsIvIeRuNG!!11elf 😎🤩" im Rahmen der *DGFS 2026, 24.-27.02.2026 in Trier* https://www.uni-trier.de/universitaet/fachbereiche-faecher/fachbereich-ii/f… Deadline: *1. August 2025* Die AG widmet sich der formalen und funktionalen Vielfalt von Intensivierung, z.B. welche Strategien und Konstruktionen in sprachlichen Ausdrücken verwendet werden, in welchen Kontexten sie auftreten und welche semiotischen Elemente intensivierbar sind. Das Spektrum umfasst nicht nur lexikogrammatische, sondern auch darüberhinausgehende Phänomene auf allen kommunikativen Ebenen, z.B. typographische und lautliche Mittel oder Gestik und Mimik, als Formen der Intensivierung (Napoli/Ravetto 2017). Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Musterhaftigkeit und Kreativität von Intensivierungsstrategien. Während sich bestimmte Verfahren als konventionalisierte Muster beschreiben lassen, sind andere höchst variabel, für Innovationen anfällig und kombinierbar (Cotgrove 2025). Dies wirft theoretische und empirische Fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Konvention und Variation auf: In welchem Maße folgen Intensivierungen wiederkehrenden Form-Funktions-Mustern (Politt/Willich 2024)? Welche Formen der Variation (sozial, stilistisch, medial) lassen sich beobachten, und wie sind diese zu beschreiben? Wir freuen uns auf einen Austausch zu einem Phänomen, das an der Schnittstelle von Lexik, Phonetik/Phonologie, Grammatik, Pragmatik und Semantik liegt. Willkommen sind aktuelle Arbeiten, die sich mit empirischen Untersuchungen zu spezifischen Intensivierungsstrategien befassen sowie mit der Rolle von Intensivierung in unterschiedlichen Diskursen, Genres, Modalitäten oder Varietäten. Ebenfalls von Interesse sind Arbeiten, die sich mit der Frage auseinandersetzen, wie sich von der empirischen Analyse ausgehend theoretische Modelle sprachlicher Intensivierung entwickeln lassen – und umgekehrt, wie theoretische Konzepte die empirische Analyse leiten können. Abstracts in englischer oder deutscher Sprache von höchstens einer Seite Länge (DIN A4, 12pt, 1,5-zeilig) können bis zum 01.08.2025 als nicht anonymisierte PDF-Datei an cotgrove(a)ids-mannheim.de gesendet werden. *Organisationsteam*: Annelen Brunner (IDS Mannheim), Louis Cotgrove (IDS Mannheim), Katja Politt (Universität Bielefeld, SFB 1646), Alexander Willich (HHU Düsseldorf) *Literaturverzeichnis* Cotgrove, L.

August 2025* The workshop focuses on the formal and functional diversity of intensification, e.g. which strategies and constructions are used in linguistic expressions, in which contexts do they occur, as well as which semiotic elements can be intensified. Intensification is far more diverse than just lexicogrammatical phenomena, with phenomena occurring on on all communicative levels, for example, typographical and phonetic strategies, gestures or facial expressions (Napoli/Ravetto 2017). Particularly of interest for the workshop is the apparent dialectic between recurring patterns and innovation within intensification strategies. While certain processes can be described as conventionalised patterns, others can be highly creative and combined with one another (Cotgrove 2025). This raises theoretical and empirical questions about the relationship between convention and variation: To what extent do intensifications follow recurring form-function patterns (Politt/Willich 2024)? What forms of variation (social, stylistic, medial) can be observed and how can these be described? We look forward to discussion on a phenomenon that lies at the crossroads of lexis, phonetics/phonology, grammar, pragmatics and semantics. We welcome recent work that deals with empirical studies on specific intensification strategies and the role of intensification in different discourses, genres, modalities or varieties. Papers that address how theoretical models of linguistic intensification can be developed on the basis of empirical analysis and conversely, how theoretical concepts can guide empirical analysis, are also welcomed. Abstracts should be in German or English and should not exceed a single A4 page (12pt, 1.5 line spacing). Please submit the abstract as a PDF (anonymisation not necessary) by *1st August 2025*to cotgrove(a)ids-mannheim.de. *Organisation*: Annelen Brunner (IDS Mannheim), Louis Cotgrove (IDS Mannheim), Katja Politt (Universität Bielefeld, SFB 1646), Alexander Willich (HHU Düsseldorf) *References:* Cotgrove, L.

1 fully-funded PhD on Language Technologies for Cultural Heritage at U. di Bologna (application deadline: July 1st)
by Alberto Barrón-Cedeño 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

[apologies for cross-postings] the Department of Interpreting and Translation of University of Università di Bologna [1] is offering one fully-paid three-year PhD grant in the program “Translation, Interpreting, and Intercultural Studies”, starting in November 2025. Besides the monthly stipend, the PhD programme guarantees additional economic support for a 6 to 12 months internship abroad. Project description. LLMs (e.g., Llama, deepseek, Gemini, chatGPT) have turned into pervasive services faster than hardly any previous technology around the world. Still, the quality of their output is highly imbalanced between English and other languages. Despite their successful handling of many complex linguistic tasks, LLMs have a hard time dealing with regional concepts and realia for which not enough data exist online. The PhD should focus on... (a) measuring the level (or lack) of local cultural knowledge by LLMs in multiple languages, (b) measuring the influence of English in LLM-produced texts, both from a linguistic and a cultural point of view, in applications such as machine translation, dialogue and text generation, and (c) designing and implementing strategies to produce and publish high-quality multicultural data and incorporate them in LLMs to boost their local awareness. We focus especially on (Italian) gastronomy. We welcome candidates with relevant backgrounds in natural language processing, digital humanities, and/or translation/linguistics, among others. We encourage students with programming and machine learning skills. For expressions of interest and informal discussion, please contact Prof. Alberto Barrón-Cedeño [2]. For the official application process, please visit: - https://www.unibo.it/en/study/phd-professional-masters-specialisation-schoo… (in English) - https://www.unibo.it/it/studiare/dottorati-master-specializzazioni-e-altra-… (in Italian) (the “official” title of the project is “On the treatment of local cultural concepts by large language models and the societal impact of pervasive Artificial Intelligence”) The student will depart from ongoing work within projects !Translate [3], GastroWiki [4] and GIARA. (S)he will also interact with an ongoing PhD research on NLP applied to gastronomy [5,6], and will join a growing research group with four professors (covering disciplines across computer science and linguistics) and four 2nd- and 3rd-year PhD students. Timeline, all in 2025: - 1st of July: application deadline (notice that the application includes a project proposal, prepared by the applicant). - 1st week of July: short-listing of the best applicants and invitation to oral interviews - Mid July: oral interviews with the commission (in presence or online) - End of July: publication of the final decision - 1st of November: the PhD starts.

Looking forward to seeing you in Cagliari, the CLiC-it chairs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLiC-it 2025 – Eleventh Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics 24 – 26 September 2025, Cagliari, Italy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Over the years, CLiC-it has evolved into an important forum for the Italian community of researchers in Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). CLiC-it aims to promote and disseminate high-quality, original research covering different aspects of automatic language processing, involving both written and spoken language. Furthermore, it seeks to showcase cutting-edge theoretical findings, experimental methodologies, technologies, and application perspectives. The spirit of the conference is inclusive. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of language phenomena and the need for interdisciplinary expertise, CLiC-it aims to bring together researchers from different fields including Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital Humanities. CLiC-it welcomes contributions focusing on all languages, with a particular emphasis on Italian. CLiC-it 2025 will be held in Cagliari, from the 24th to the 26th of September. CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC — http://www.ai-lc.it/). ➢ CONFERENCE TOPICS CLiC-it 2025 aims to have a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to (in alphabetical order): Computational Historical Linguistics Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics Dialogue and Interactive Systems Discourse and Pragmatics Ethics and NLP Generation Handwritten Text Recognition Information Extraction Information Retrieval and Text Mining Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond Large Language Models Linguistic Diversity Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling, and Psycholinguistics Machine Learning for NLP Machine Translation Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP NLP Applications NLP for the Humanities Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation Pragmatics and Creativity Question Answering Resources and Evaluation Semantics: Lexical, Sentence-level Semantics, Textual Inference, and Other Areas Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining Speech and Multimodality Summarization Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing ➢ RESEARCH COMMUNICATION CLiC-it 2025 adopts a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers accepted in 2024 and 2025 by major publication venues, namely the major international CL conferences (workshops excluded) or international journals. These contributions can be submitted to CLiC-it 2025 as short research communications. Research communications will not be published in the conference proceedings, they serve primarily to promote the dissemination of high-quality research within the Italian CL community. Submitted research communications must be in the scope of the CLiC-it 2025 conference. The authors of papers that meet the above criteria are invited to submit a written (maximum) one-page abstract of the original paper, including the paper’s title and authors as well as a pointer to the original conference or journal where the paper was published. If needed, research communications will undergo a selection process overseen by the conference chairs. Since these papers have already been reviewed, the selection criteria will primarily consider their original publication venue. Priority will be granted to papers that align most closely with the conference program, ensuring a balanced representation across various conference topics. The research communication papers will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster according to the number of submissions received. ➢ PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. CLiC-it 2025 allows for a multiple submission policy. In case of acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate this information to the CLiC-it 2025 Chairs as soon as possible. Papers may consist of at least six (6) and no more than eight (8) pages of content and up to three (3) pages of references. Supplementary material is also allowed, but it should not exceed one (1) page in length. Authors are reminded that all relevant content should be included in the main text of the paper. Upon acceptance, final versions of the papers will be given one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. Papers will be evaluated according to the following criteria: soundness of approach relevance to computational linguistics novelty and clarity of relation with related work quality of presentation quality of evaluation (if applicable) verifiability and ability to replicate (if applicable) Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract in English. Accepted papers will be published on-line and will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster. *All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings.* Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts. The required template for CLiC-it submissions must be compatible with CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/). You can download the conference-adapted version at the following links: LaTeX template https://clic2025.unica.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CLiC-it-2025-template.… Word template https://clic2025.unica.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CLiC_it_2025_template.… Should you encounter any issues with the compilation (as the CEUR template has historically presented some challenges and is not modifiable without risking exclusion from the proceedings), we provide a read-only Overleaf template: https://www.overleaf.com/read/hzyckyjzwhwb#06b27c This template can be accessed and cloned to help resolve any technical difficulties.
