Two year postdoc in Experimental Psycholinguistics and Computational Language Modelling.
by Sussi Olsen 27 May '26

27 May '26

Dear colleagues At the Centre for Language Technology at University of Copenhagen we have an open position for a two year postdoc in Experimental Psycholinguistics and Computational Language Modelling. The successful candidate will contribute to the project METALLM (Exploring Metaphors in LLMS), granted by the Independent Research Fund Denmark 2026-2029; see https://cst.ku.dk/english/projects/metallm. The candidate will contribute to the project’s WP2 – Cognitive Processing of Metaphor. WP2 investigates how people understand metaphorical language and compares human processing with that of large language models (LLMs). Using reading tasks and eye‑tracking, the project examines how human attention and interpretation vary across different types of metaphors, and compares these patterns with the attentional mechanisms of LLMs tested on a comparable range of expressions. The overall goal is to better understand similarities and differences between human cognition and computational language models during metaphor processing. The successful candidate will be attached to the Centre for Language Technology (CST), which is one of the research centres of the department. CST conducts research in different areas of interest for language technology, such as Natural Language Processing, construction of NLP resources, Computational Cognitive Modeling and Multimodality, NLP infrastructure and policy, Representation Learning for NLP and Digital Humanities, among others. It has a strong international profile, at the same time as pursuing the development of language technology methods and resources for the Danish language.

New release: FR-BSKY-ALO-2025-2026 Corpus
by Sangwan Jeon 27 May '26

27 May '26

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the release of the FR-BSKY-ALO-2025-2026 Corpus: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19075495 FR-BSKY-ALO-2025-2026 is a corpus of anonymized, publicly available Bluesky posts collected for research and pedagogical purposes to explore lexical variation in French, between “sorte” and “espèce”, on the one hand, and between “enfin”, “finalement”, “au final”, and “à la fin”, on the other. Such terms and expressions have been the subject of several research in linguistic studies (Souza et al., 2011; Hansen & Mosegaard, 2005; Franckel, 1987, among others). The collection comprises 278,786 posts, published between 1 February 2025 and 27 January 2026, from all user accounts. This academic activity has two main objectives. Using Blueskyscraper (Moncomble, 2026: https://corpustools.prendrelangue.fr), data collection was carried out with the participation of students enrolled in the course Analyse linguistique outillée (second-year undergraduate level, academic year 2025–2026), at the Université de Poitiers. The project aimed to introduce students to the practical and methodological aspects of corpus construction and to the analysis of linguistic data using corpus linguistics tools. Students were also invited to explore the corpus in order to invastigate linguistic variation through a corpus-based approach grounded in digitized texts (BlueSky posts), there by encouraging reflection on emerging forms of linguistic data and digital discourse studies. The corpus is available on Zenodo in seveeral formats (CSV, TEI/XML, TSV, TXT), with the aim of ensuring compatibility with a wide range of corpus analysis tools whiled preserving metadata intrinsic to digitized texts, notably posting date and post URLs. Best regards, Sangwan Jeon
