Objectives

The theme project “Internationalization in Linguistics: Data Science, Linguistic Processes and Social Impact” articulates the Graduate program in Linguistics of the Federal University of Ceará (PPGLIN/UFC), the Graduate Program in Linguistics of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (PPG-Linguistics/UFJF) and the Graduate program in Language Studies (PPGLin/UNILAB), with the purpose of strengthening research internationalization, academic training and scientific production in Linguistics, widening the insertion of both programs in excellence international networks.
The proposal integrates the different work field from the programs in two major research axes: one directed to the relations between language, speech, education, linguistic policies, culture and society; and another dedicated to language and cognition, psycholinguistics, processing and language acquisition, linguistic description, computational linguistic and artificial intelligence.
The research comprises themes such as data science, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, reading and literacy, grammar and variation, multimodality and accessibility, teacher training, linguistic policies, discursive practices, ethics and AI and digital environments. Internationalization will be promoted by means of joint projects with international institutions, student and faculty mobility, attraction of international researchers, advanced methodological training and incentive to scientific production in high-impact journals.
Thus, the project aims at consolidating international research networks and qualifying professionals which are capable of working in the contemporary frontiers of language studies, articulating scientific excellence, technological innovation and social impact.
