Language, Cognition, and Society:

A Data-Driven Lifespan Perspective

September 11–12, 2025

Chosun University, Korea

Workshop Rationale

HK (Humanities Korea) is a national initiative supporting long-term, interdisciplinary research in the humanities. This workshop contributes to that mission by fostering dialogue on language and cognition across the lifespan, with a special focus on Korean contexts and data-driven methodologies. The event will consist of two days of research presentations (Days 1–2) followed by a full-day tutorial workshop (Day 3) focused on long-form recordings and their use in studying naturalistic language environments.
