Exhibitions

The ExLing Society Exhibition is a vital component of our annual ExLing Conference.

Language applications, including AI-driven technologies, are playing an increasingly crucial role in various aspects of daily life. The development of smart language processing tools—such as speech recognition, natural language understanding, machine translation, sentiment analysis, chatbots, and text-to-speech systems—has greatly benefited users of spoken, written, and signed languages.

Significant advances have also been made in language education (programming, performance, evaluation) and language pathology (diagnosis, evaluation, rehabilitation).

By bridging linguistic research and practical applications, the ExLing Society fosters and supports innovative initiatives and start-ups focused on the design and development of language education and pathology solutions, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven advancements.

Introducing the Journal of Experimental Linguistics

The aims of our soon-to-be-launched Journal of Experimental Linguistics are multidimensional, focusing on the production of knowledge and the development of linguistic theory.

The Journal will highlight the welcomed use of robust experimental methodologies, as well as the advancement of linguistic applications—whether in language education, language pathology, or language technology—in the context of state-of-the-art research avenues and current societal requirements.

In our approach, experimental linguistics is the indispensable link between linguistic theory and language applications. Experimental methodologies are set up to address specific questions and alternative hypotheses, leading to empirical results that, in turn, enlighten linguistic theory or contribute to the verification of theoretical aspects and the creation of new ones.
