Workshop Series

MANOVA AI within the LingTransformer of the Gauss:AI Global project is happy to announce the workshop series:

Linguistics Meets ChatGPT

Format: Hybrid (onsite & online)

Frequency: Regular series (8 thematic workshops, cumulative structure)

Target group: Linguists, language researchers, and educators interested in understanding and using Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT for linguistic inquiry.

Organizer: Dr. Stela Manova, CEO & Research Lead MANOVA AI / PI Gauss:AI Global

Overview

The workshop series Linguistics Meets ChatGPT explores how contemporary Large Language Models transform the possibilities and boundaries of linguistic research.

By engaging with ChatGPT as both a research tool and a research object, the series fosters a new kind of linguistic literacy — one that bridges formal linguistic theory, empirical data handling, and AI-based modeling.

Each workshop follows the same three-part design:

1️⃣ Introductory Lecture (conceptual and theoretical framing by the organizer, ≈ 50 min + 10 min Q/A)

2️⃣ Hands-on Session (guided experiments and data interpretation ≈ 45 min + 15 min break)

3️⃣ Participant Talks & Discussion (≈ 60 min)

Aims and Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

• Understand how LLMs like ChatGPT structure, generate, and manipulate linguistic data.

• Learn to design reproducible linguistic experiments using AI-tools- and prompt-based methods.

• Critically evaluate the limits of LLM-based data for linguistic analysis.

• Develop interdisciplinary literacy connecting linguistics, AI, and data science.

• Contribute to the creation of a PromptBank for Linguists and shared methodological resources.
  
  

The first workshop What Type of Research Can a Linguist Do with ChatGPT? will take place at Sterngasse 3 in Vienna (Austria) and online on December 12, 2025. Details about program and registration will be announced soon.
