General Theme: COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES
The 11th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition (CLDC 11) provides an international forum that brings together researchers interested in language, discourse, and cognition. The focus of CLDC 11 sets "Conversation Analysis and Artificial Intelligence" as the main theme in the hope that we can further explore various issues bearing on the symbiosis among cognition, language and other disciplines. We would like to invite original abstracts on topics dealing with, but not limited to, the following disciplines or sub-disciplines:
Cognitive Syntax
Cognitive Semantics
Cognitive Pragmatics
Cognitive Sociolinguistics
Corpus and Computational Linguistics
Linguistic Typology
Cognitive Linguistics and Interdisciplinary Studies (Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Cognitive Science, Social Science, Computer Science, etc.)
Special Theme: LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS (LLMS) AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
The 11th Conference on Language, Discourse, and Cognition (CLDC 11) is poised to present an incisive theme that encapsulates the confluence of "Large Language Models (LLMs) and Discourse Analysis". With the burgeoning development of sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks, the exploration into the nuances of language has been remarkably transformed. The intricate knowledge of linguistics and discourse analysis now plays a pivotal role in the advancement and authenticity of conversational constructs within AI systems. Recognizing the critical significance and burgeoning potential of this interdisciplinary nexus, CLDC 11 cordially invites the submission of abstracts that rigorously investigate the interplay between LLMs and Discourse Analysis.
Submissions may encompass a spectrum of theoretical frameworks, applied research, and interdisciplinary pursuits that bridge the gap between intricate linguistic phenomena and AI technology. Prospective topics may include, but are certainly not limited to, the following areas:
Theoretical Implications of LLMs on Discourse Analysis Paradigms
Pragmatic Markers and their Computational Representations
Semantics in Conversation
Modeling Conversational Dynamics using Large Language Models
Optimizing Conversation Recommendations through LLMs
Strategic Deployment of Conversational AI in Varied Contexts
Progress in Language Generation for Conversational Interfaces
Dialogue State Tracking with Enhanced LLMs
Methodologies for Dialogue Evaluation in LLM Contexts
Comprehensive Strategies for Dialogue Data Collection and Datasets Annotation
Slot-based Mechanisms in LLM-driven Conversational AI
Retrieval-based Approaches in LLMs for Conversational AI
Innovations in Generative Conversational AI
Explorations into Multimodal Dialogues and LLM Applications
Contextual Modeling and its Relevance to LLMs in Dialogue Systems
Semantic Representation within the Scope of Large Language Models
Representation Learning for Dialogues in the Realm of LLMs
The committee eagerly anticipates original, cutting-edge contributions that push the boundaries of current research paradigms and pave the way for groundbreaking applications of large language models in the nuanced analysis of discourse.
Abstracts must be written in English and are limited to one A4 page (Times New Roman, 12 pt font, single-spaced), excluding references. Authors are limited to one first-authored submission only. Please do not include in your abstract any information that may reveal your identity, as the review process will be conducted anonymously.
CLDC 11 will accept online submissions only, via the Microsoft CMT. Submissions will not be accepted in the hard copy format or by email transmission.
To start your submission, please click on the link: To be announced on 01 December, 2023
Please note that if you do not have an account on the Microsoft CMT, you need to sign up for an account first. You can start the submission process after you log in to the system.
Please log in to the submission system and complete the form.
Please do NOT include any example or reference in the main text of the abstract. In addition to typing your abstract into the text box, please prepare a pdf file and upload it in the paper column (at the bottom of the form). In the pdf file, you can include special characters or fonts (e.g., IPA) used in the main text of the abstract and in the supplementary materials (examples, references, etc.). The pdf file should NOT contain any personal information that may reveal the authors’ identities.
Please specify at least three keywords for your abstract. Also, please identify at least one subfield related to your work by checking the subfield(s) from the list provided above, and write it both in your pdf and the keyword box. If the topic of your abstract belongs to a category not listed, please select “others”.
Please click “Abstract Only” to proceed.
Shortly after you complete the submission process, an E-mail message confirming receipt of your abstract will be sent to you.
