This workshop explored the effects of machine learning (AI) on research on language from a multi-disciplinary persective.

Dissemination of information of about the activities of the COST action. I presented the work of WG 6.

This conference will focus on the many languages of Ireland, be they national languages Irish, English and Irish Sign Language or the many migrant languages used every day. Linguistic diversity in Ireland has been documented over the years, but a dedicated event and subsequent publication has been lacking in the recent past. As Ireland has once again become a net-immigration state (CSO 2022), we must think of how we support language users in multilingual communities. This conference will bring together leading names in academia, youth organisations, the arts and advocacy to consider Ireland through a multilingual lens. The conference will thus further our understanding of how and when different languages are used in Ireland, but also highlight the immediate application of our knowledge to the concrete usage contexts in various multilingual communities.

This was a presentation and discussion about research on Irish English. The target audience were members of the Irish Studies association (EFACIS). There was an overall overview of research strands, presentation of the Irish English research network and then different scholars (including myself) presented research that they were pursuing.

Together with Britta Schneider (Europa-Universität Viadrina) I spent a week at Langtec exchanging about technology and language research in order to understand how 'commercial' linguistics research relates to university-based linguistics research and what types of ideologies of language and technology underly the former.

Two well-known scholars in the field (J. T. Farquharson & B.Fourcaud) discussed their views, issues etc (based on questions from the organisers). The event was organised by Isabelle Léglise and Bettina Migge.

Several academics from different UCD Schools and from outside of UCD discuss how they integrate diversity and gender matters in their modules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT8sbCdXAK0&t=8s

The aim of this event was to present the virtual dictionary DicoNenge(e) to the public, to explain the structure and functioning of the dictionary and to tell people about the project as well as to answer any questions about it.

This event was a multiparty discussion about the reception of Irish language literature in continental Europe. This event addressed the European dimension of Irish literary production and the cultural and political context of contemporary literary translation, broadening the debate about the Irish language by focussing on cultural communication in a multilingual European context. It focused on providing an overview of the types of works that are typically read, their distribution across countries, who is involved in the translation and dissemination, changing patterns of reception, issues that arise as well as how literature in other languages is received Irish literature (English and Irish medium). This event is directly linked to the publication 'Ireland in the European Eye' and related specifically to one of its articles that treated this theme. It was organized in the RIA and jointly between two RIA committees.
