Scope

TechLING is an international congress dedicated to the synergies between languages/linguistics and technology, highlighting the impact of technology-based tools on language processing. The event is aimed at teachers, researchers, doctoral students, language educators, translators, interpreters, proofreaders, subtitlers, terminologists, lexicographers, entrepreneurs with an interest in linguistic issues, and other professionals in the field.

TechLING 2024 will feature updated discussions on the latest technological innovations and their applications in linguistics, providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences among experts from around the world. This year, the congress will cover emerging topics such as artificial intelligence in machine translation, new technology-supported language teaching methodologies, and the evolution of linguistic analysis tools.

This year, the congress, organized by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, will be held in a hybrid format on October 2nd and 3rd. We invite you to join us for a series of engaging sessions over these two days. Learn more about how to participate in the congress here.
