Exhibitions

The ExLing Society Exhibition forms an integral part of our annual ExLing Conference.

Language applications play an exciting and ever-growing role in numerous aspects of everyday life. The development of smart language processing tools and communication systems have benefitted users of spoken, written and signed language in various ways.

Alongside these applications, significant advances have been made within language education (programming, performance, evaluation) and language pathology (diagnosis, evaluation, rehabilitation).

In the context of uniting linguistic research and language application prospects, the ExLing Society promotes and supports initiative attempts and start-ups relating to the design and development of language education and language pathology.

The Journal

The aims of our new launched Journal of Experimental Linguistics are multidimensional regarding production of knowledge and development of linguistic theory.

The Journal will highlight the welcomed use of robust experimental methodologies as well as the advancement of linguistic applications — be they in language education, language pathology or language technology — in the context of state-of-the-art research avenues and current society 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, which lead to empirical results which, in turn, enlighten linguistic theory or contribute to the verification of theoretical aspects and the creation of new ones.
