🤝 Do you use participative science to create linguistic corpora or explore theoretical linguistic questions?

📄 Consider submitting to the workshop ParCoL, which will be held June, 30th during the CORIA-TALN 2025 conference in Marseille, France !

💪 Organized with the support of the GdR LIFT-2 (Linguistique Informatique, Formelle et de Terrain)

📅 Submission deadline: April, 30th 2025

🌐 Conference website: https://coria-taln-2025.lis-lab.fr/

🔍 The satellite workshop "Crowd-sourced Linguistic Data Collection and Augmentation" (in French, Science Participative pour les Données et Corpus Linguistiques - ParCoL) aims to gather the research community around how participative science can be used in linguistics.

🔁 It will be organized as an agora, i.e., an open and inclusive forum for discussion where each participant can present their project or results, ask their questions, get immediate feedback or advice from a large variety of professionals (crowd-sourcing specialists, computer scientists, linguists...), and provide their own feedback or advice to others.

The relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

🔧 the creation or functioning of participative tools (data collection platforms, games with a purpose, etc.) dedicated to languages,

🖥️ the technical challenges of data or metadata collection platforms,

💡 the theoretical challenges of crowd-sourced data and metadata,

⚖️ the political or legal challenges of crowd-sourced data and metadata,

👍 ethical issues raised by the creation or use of crowd-sourced corpora,

💯 the participants' engagement (motivations, nudges, gamification...),

🌍 participative science for less-resourced languages,

🗣️ participative science for the exploration of orality and diversity of usages,

📊 research results on crowd-sourced data, in any linguistic domain.

📰 Submissions can be made under *3 different formats*:

- abstract (2 pages + references) : summarized translation of a paper that has already been published, negative results, statement, description of a project;

-- short paper (8 pages + references) : preliminary results or literature review;

--- long paper (16 pages + references) : full scientific paper.
