The key role that pragmatic markers (PMs) such as English actually, well, you know, and I mean聽play in social interaction,聽collaborative meaning-making,聽and successful communication is well known in a range of different languages (Fischer 2006, Degand et al. 2022, inter alia). PMs are essential to achieving communicative goals such as managing interaction or expressing attitudes. What is far less well understood is how language learners acquire and use PMs in an L2 or additional language. The ap

Since Horwitz's seminal definition of language anxiety as a complex of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to classroom language learning, it has been regarded as a very special and multidimensional psychological phenomenon during the process of language teaching, learning, and using. From the confounded to the current contextual phase, research on language anxiety has been conducted worldwide, concerning its interfaces with speaking, reading, listening comprehension, and writing in additi

Special Issue of Studies in Language Assessment (2028) Call for Abstracts
Beyond test scores: Investigating L2 test-taker cognition, affect, and behaviour using biometric methods

The purpose of this special issue is to advance process-based validation research in language testing by bringing together cutting-edge studies that employ biometric methods and sensor technologi
This study investigates pinky extension (PE) in American Sign Language (ASL). PE involves extending the pinky finger in signs, even though this feature is not present in standard dictionary representations of those signs. Although PE has been previously described as conveying emphasis, this account does not fully explain its distribution. This study asks whether PE reflects a meaningful part of how signs are structured in ASL, rather than a matter of individual style or variation. Focusing on ad
This dissertation develops a unified, cognitively plausible account of copredication: the pervasive linguistic phenomenon where a single nominal expression simultaneously satisfies multiple predicates requiring distinct and often incompatible facets (e.g., That book is heavy but informative; Lunch was delicious but lasted hours). While ubiquitous in everyday language, copredication poses a fundamental challenge to theories of meaning composition by demanding simultaneous access to different aspe
Social media platforms have been increasingly marked by rising antagonism and divisive language practices; nevertheless, pragmatics offers unique insights into both the mechanisms driving polarization and potential pathways toward more constructive dialogue. This panel directly addresses the conference theme "Building Bridges" by examining how pragmatic principles operate in multimodal digital contexts鈥攚here text, images, emojis, formatting, and platform affordances converge to shape meaning-mak
Description:
The Center for Data Science in Humanities at Chosun University is building a set of multimodal datasets spanning the lifespan. Over the past year, we have been collecting infant-perspective head-mounted video (BabyView Korea) and bilingual daylong audio recordings (LENA) from families in Korea, both still actively growing. We have also completed a dataset of daylong speech recordings from older adults, linked to PET imaging and cognitive test data. Alongside these, the center has
