Editors Takako Kawabata tk70@soas.ac.uk Daniela Cesiri daniela.cesiri@unive.it Call for Abstracts Overview and scope Language and food both function as semiotic systems that rely on shared conventions to convey meaning and to organize social life. As Roland Barthes (2008: 24) argued, food is not simply nourishment but 鈥渁 system of communication, a body of images, a protocol of usages, situations, and behavior.鈥� In much the same way, language is never a neutral tool.

We use it to convince, persuade, cajole, and coax, often without even realizing it. Words mold opinions, shift attitudes, and guide behavior. This symposium places the persuasive power of language at its very core. Linguists have traditionally examined the workings of persuasive language in institutionali

Call for Papers: Workshop Description: Digital humanities (DH) stand at the intersection of computing and the humanities, involving collaborative transdisciplinary research. While current DH practice already shows an impressive array of new digital tools and methods for the study of the humanities, we believe that natural language processing techniques and experience can significantly enhance the field, while DH can also bring new testbeds and problems for the NLP community. The 4th DHan

In the last ten years, significant advances in deep learning models and the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the fields of computational linguistics (CL) and natural language processing (NLP). In turn, this has led to a complete re-assessment of the language resources and evaluation practices necessary for training LLMs and analyzing their outputs. In particular, the availability of very large amounts of unstructured data for training foundational models has come i

Recent studies highlight the value of bilingual education in facilitating the employability of graduates, among other positive aspects.

This central idea leads to a number of important literary-theoretical topics. Among the issues addressed in depth
