SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Lauren Fonteyn: Methods of semi-automatic data annotation with contextualized word embeddings
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Lauren Fonteyn (Meertens Instituut)\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 1.15\nTitle: Methods of semi-automatic data annotation with contextualized word embeddings\nAbstract: In corpus linguistics\, the collection and annotation of data commonly involve a relatively balanced combination of computer-aided and manual labour. It is still common practice\, for instance\, to first retrieve data representing a particular linguistic phenomenon from an electronic corpus (e.g. by means of a concordancer tool or query script) and subsequently manually categorize the collected examples into different groups (e.g. animate/inanimate; literal/figurative; agent/patient/instrument/…). However\, as the range of research questions that linguists aim to address by means of corpus data has expanded in complexity\, there is a growing need for larger data samples\, which is difficult to meet when we continue to approach data annotation manually. As such\, it has become an important practical challenge in corpus linguistics to determine how data annotation practices can evolve along with the needs of researchers. In this talk\, I suggest one way of approaching corpus data annotation (semi-)automatically by relying on Large Language Models (LLMs). More specifically\, I will present a number example case studies to highlight how an LLM like BERT can be employed to annotate corpus data. The presentation focusses on the BERT-based models MacBERTh (Manjavacas & Fonteyn 2022a) and GysBERT (Manjavacas & Fonteyn 2022b)\, which – unlike the vast majority of available models – have been pre-trained to process historical English and Dutch respectively (date range: 1500-1950). What makes the approach I will discuss appealing is that it is fully customizable to the researcher’s needs. Of course\, some corpora have been enriched with part-of-speech tags\, or\, more exceptionally\, syntactic parsing and semantic tagging. Yet\, not only are high-quality parsed (historical) corpora quite rare and limited in size\, the extent to pre-set tags map onto the categories a researcher is interested in may also vary. The procedure presented in my case studies\, then\, offers a means of automatically classifying morphosyntactic structures in large\, unparsed (and/or untagged) corpora following a custom annotation scheme. As such\, the procedure can help to scale up the data set for (historical) corpus studies where a small portion of the data has been manually annotated\, or to replicate a data annotation scheme adopted in prior work and apply it to new data.

SUMMARY:ABC Lecture | Sabine Kastner: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Brain and Cognition! (ABC) \n\nSpeaker: Sabine Kastner\nLocation: Science Park 904\nRoom: SP C0.110\nTitle: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network\nAbstract: The selection of information from our cluttered sensory environments is one of the most fundamental cognitive operations performed by the primate brain. In the visual domain\, the selection process is thought to be mediated by a static spatial mechanism – a ‘spotlight’ that can be flexibly shifted around the visual scene. This spatial search mechanism has been associated with a large-scale network that consists of multiple nodes distributed across all major cortical lobes and includes also subcortical regions. To identify the specific functions of each network node and their functional interactions is a major goal for the field of cognitive neuroscience. In my lecture\, I will give an overview on the neural basis of this fundamental cognitive function and discuss recently discovered rhythmic properties that set up alternating attention states.

SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Odette Scharenborg: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Odette Scharenborg\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 1.15\nTitle: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers\nAbstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is increasingly used\, e.g.\, in emergency response centers\, domestic voice assistants\, and search engines. Because of the paramount relevance spoken language plays in our lives\, it is critical that ASR systems are able to deal with the variability in the way people speak (e.g.\, due to speaker differences\, demographics\, different speaking styles\, and differently abled users). ASR systems promise to deliver objective interpretation of human speech. Practice and recent evidence however suggests that the state-of-the-art SotA ASRs struggle with the large variation in speech due to e.g.\, gender\, age\, speech impairment\, race\, and accents. The overarching goal in our project is to uncover bias in ASR systems to work towards proactive bias mitigation in ASR. In this talk\, I will present systematic experiments aimed at quantifying\, identifying the origin of\, and mitigating the bias of state-of-the-art ASRs on speech from different\, typically low-resource\, groups of speakers\, with a focus on bias against gender\, age\, regional accents and non-native accents.

SUMMARY:SPUI 25 | Nicole Seymour: A Brief History of Environmental Humour
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nicole Seymour\nLocation: SPUI25\nTitle: A Brief History of Environmental Humour \nAbstract: Seymour will place these phenomena in their larger contexts\, including the development of queer ecologies as a critical framework and the rise of meta-modernism as a cultural sensibility. After her talk\, she will be joined in conversation by Peter van Dam\, Barnita Bagchi\, and moderator Jesse van Amelsvoort. Together\, they will think about environmental humour in other literary and cultural traditions and histories across Europe\, South Asia\, and North America. How do protest movements use humour and other playful affects? How to read Dutch environmental discourses and genres in this respect? And how does children’s literature incorporate humour? \nRegister at SPUI25

SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Maria Arredondo: Learning in Two Languages: Neural Signatures of Word Learning in Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \nSpeaker: Dr. Maria Arredondo\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 5.08\nTitle: Learning in Two Languages: Neural Signatures of Word Learning in Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers \nAbstract: Language development is a foundational predictor of later academic achievement\, social functioning\, and long-term well-being. Much of early vocabulary growth occurs in ambiguous contexts in which children must infer the referent of a novel word. Despite this uncertainty\, toddlers are remarkably adept at determining word meanings. However\, little is known about the neural systems that support these processes or how bilingual experience may shape them.\nThis talk integrates findings from two neuroimaging studies examining fast word-mapping in monolingual and bilingual toddlers. Children viewed familiar and unfamiliar objects as they were labeled (e.g.\, “look at the car!”\, “look at the dax!”). Eye-tracking measured recognition of the labeled referent\, while functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) recorded brain activity in frontal and temporal cortical regions.\nTogether\, these studies will illustrate how early word learning is shaped by both bilingual experience and proficiency within each language. More focal left-hemisphere recruitment may support efficient learning under conditions of greater language familiarity\, whereas broad bilateral and right-hemisphere recruitment may reflect the additional processing demands associated with learning in a less-proficient language. These findings highlight the importance of considering children’s experience in each language when examining the neural organization of bilingual word learning.

SUMMARY:ACLC Workshop | Marie Beauchamps: Creative Writing for Academics
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \nCourse Dates: \nFridays 9:30-13:00\nOn campus \n23 October\n30 October \nLocation: Oudemanhuispoort\nRoom: A0.08 \nThe choices we make when we write have profound effects on the reality that we observe. Giving an account of our observations requires a multitude of styles of writing for achieving the greatest accuracy. Finding the most accurate style of writing for a particular purpose sometimes implies letting go of a seemingly neutral style of writing\, instead embracing a plurality of voices\, such as staging a dialogue or exploring a more poetic style. This workshop aims to explore what happens when we loosen up the frame of our habitual academic writing practice\, inviting multi-layered stories to bubble up and become part of the conversation unfolding on the page. \nIn this two-sessions interactive workshop\, Marie Beauchamps will lead you through a series of hands-on exercises to make you experience creative writing within your academic practice. You will practice writing scenes\, working with sensory details\, defining the main characters driving the story of your work\, and staging conversations between them. There will be time for peer-review\, and we will take time to reflect on what it takes to make space for creativity within our academic work. \nPracticalities\nParticipants will be asked to bring a text of their own to work on during the workshop. It can be an outline\, a very first draft\, a finished article\, or everything in-between\, as long as they feel comfortable working with it for the time of the workshop. \n  \nRegister here! https://uvaforms.formstack.com/forms/phd_skills_registration_creative_writing_autumn_2026 \n

SUMMARY:ACLC Workshop: Daria Evangelista |Argumentative\, Rhetorical and Linguistic Dimensions of Climate Crisis Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \nSpeaker: Dr. Maria Arredondo\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 2.14\nTitle: Argumentative\, Rhetorical and Linguistic Dimensions of Climate Crisis Discourse \nAbstract: \nClimate crisis discourse is perhaps one of the most central to societies nowadays. Due to its complexity and\, in some regards\, controversial nature\, scholars have paid particular attention to its potential effectiveness\, namely whether it can make itself understood and whether it can persuade and convince the addressees. Up until now\, however\, little if anything is known about the specific linguistic\, rhetorical and argumentative means that are employed to discuss the climate crisis across different contexts\, such as the journalistic\, legal and political spheres and how these interact to shape our understanding of the climate crisis. \nBringing together perspectives from argumentation studies\, rhetoric\, discourse analysis and text linguistics\, this workshop explores how different stakeholders deploy linguistic and rhetorical strategies such as metaphors\, framing devices\, polyphony\, and a range of argumentative means\, to influence perceptions of climate-related issues or to raise awareness around specific challenges posed by climate change. \nThere are no registration costs\, but a short message to Daria Evangelista confirm your presence would be appreciated. \nProgramme  \n13:00 – 13:15 – Opening remarks by the workshop organisers\nDaria Evangelista and Corina Andone (University of Amsterdam)\n13:15 – 14:00 – Resistance to climate science: the metaphor of the “doughnut”\nAnais Augé (UC Louvain)\n14:00 – 14:45 – Talking the future into being. The role of rhetorical presence in climate\nactivist discourse\nJelte Olthof (University of Groningen)\n14:45 – 15:15 – Coffee break\n15:15 – 16:00 – The ‘energy transition’ at the intersection of multiple discursive\nformations? A lexicometric\, pragma-enunciative\, and argumentative analysis of Le Monde articles (February 2022–2024)\nThomas Franck (Ghent University)\n16:00 – 16:45 – Arguing to raise awareness. A text-linguistic account of climate crisis discourse\nDaria Evangelista and Corina Andone (University of Amsterdam)\n16:45 – 17:15 – Final discussion\n17:15 – 17:30 – Closing remarks\n17:30 – Dinner for speakers
