Connectionists: AI in language evolution workshop call for contributions

[Bart de Boer]

A workshop on artificial intelligence methods will be organized in 
conjunction with the Evolang 2026 conference in Plovdiv, held from April 
7-10, 2026. We invite two-page abstracts in the Evolang format about 
recent and ongoing work on language evolution that employs AI techniques 
in any form - be it for agent-based modeling, data analysis, 
computational linguistics, modeling of linguistic behavior with LLMs, or 
any other application. The abstracts should pay special attention to the 
AI-methods used and their pros and cons in evolution of language 
research. The idea of the workshop is to bring together diverse 
approaches and to discuss possibilities and pitfalls.

The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2025.
