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.

Hi everyone,
The Georgetown University Corpling Lab <https://gucorpling.org/corpling/> is pleased to announce the release of DiscoExplorer, a publicly available open source search engine for discourse relation data:
https://gucorpling.org/discoexplorer/
DiscoExplorer indexes all 38 discourse relation datasets from the DISRPT shared task on discourse relation classification, covering 16 languages in 6 frameworks (RST/eRST, PDTB, SDRT, ISO and dependencies) with over 300K relations and 5M tokens, all using a uniform label set. The interface allows searching by relation for tokens and UD annotations such as POS tags, lemmas and dependency functions, as well as offering quantitative breakdowns and dataset distribution comparisons.
For more information, check out this paper <https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.15304> , which will be presented as a demo at the CODI-CRAC workshop <https://sites.google.com/view/codi-crac2026/> at ACL in San Diego.

Call for Presentations and papers
47th Translating and the Computer Conference (TC47)
Luxembourg, 8 to 10 December 2026
https://asling.org/tc47/ [1]
AI-assisted or AI-eclipsed? Language services between promise and
pressure
AsLing invites submissions for the 47th edition of the Translating and
the Computer Conference (TC47), to be held from 8 to 10 December 2026 in
Luxembourg.
The TC conference series brings together professionals, researchers,
developers and decision-makers from the language industry, academia and
public institutions. TC47 will explore how technological innovation -
particularly AI - is reshaping multilingual communication, raising new
questions about human agency, professional ethics, and sustainable
practices in the language services sector.
Conference theme
_AI-assisted or AI-eclipsed? Language Services between Promise and
Pressure_
_ _
From Machine Translation and LLMs applied to translation, language
professionals face unprecedented change. TC47 invites reflection on how
to navigate this evolving landscape - to ensure that technology empowers
rather than eclipses, and that multilingual communication remains
inclusive, trusted and professionally grounded.
We especially welcome contributions exploring:
* Synergy between human expertise and AI-powered tools
* The role of AI in promoting or undermining inclusion and equity
* Strategies for sustainable and ethical language services
* Cross-sector collaboration between academia, industry, and
institutions
Submissions not focused on AI are equally welcome, particularly those
addressing broader trends in multilingual communication, training,
translation workflows, and evolving professional practices.
We also welcome critical reviews and discussions on:
* The broader impact of AI and automation on the language industry
* Implications for training, education and career development of
language professionals
* Coexistence of AI and traditional practices
* Impact of AI on language professionals
* Adoption barriers and risks for LSPs new to AI
* Future trends in translation, interpreting, and localisation - with
or without AI
* Responsible and sustainable development in language technologies
(environmental, social, professional)
Key areas of interest
Include, but are not limited to:
* Multilingual NLP and large language models
* Human-in-control systems vs. human-in-the-loop AI
* Terminology management and controlled language
* AI readiness and digital transformation in LSPs
* NLP, semantic technologies and linked data
* Collaborative translation tools and environments
* Quality assurance, benchmarking and evaluation
* Training, professional development and digital upskilling
* Inclusive and culturally aware AI systems
* Sustainable practices across the language lifecycle
* Language policy and digital language equality
* FAIR data, corpora and infrastructure
* Ethical implications and human oversight
* Empowering language professionals to shape - not just use - AI tools
* Non-AI innovations and evolutions in translation, interpreting,
localisation or terminology work
We invite:
* Innovative research: studies that expand the boundaries of language
technologies, multilingual NLP, or AI ethics.
* Practical applications: case studies from public or private sector
stakeholders showcasing language technology use and development.
* Workshops and panels: interactive formats encouraging dialogue on
timely, challenging or divisive issues in AI and language work.
* Critical reflections: well-argued contributions questioning current
uses of AI and proposing alternative, human-centred approaches.
* Posters and short talks: snapshots of emerging projects, tools, or
preliminary research.
Submission tracks
All submissions are for talks, within the following categories:
* Research track (Academic)

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
Dear colleagues
This may interest you, your students or others around you – please feel free to circulate. Corpus linguistics feature in several of the PhD topics; I'm involved in DC14 in particular for DDL and GenAI for language learning.
