Language & Technology

Language and Technology is the Substack of CASCADE (Computational Analysis of Semantic Change Across Different Environments), an international research network training the next generation of scholars in interdisciplinary approaches to language, data, and technology. CASCADE researchers use computational techniques to explore how the meanings of words and expressions shift across time and contexts.

This Substack offers a window into the research and reflections of CASCADE’s doctoral projects across five universities, University College Cork, University of Helsinki, KU Leuven, Universität des Saarlandes, and the University of Sheffield.

Posts include insights into computational linguistics and text analytics; perspectives on the social, ethical, and cultural implications of AI and natural language processing; commentary on the role of language in the data economy; and interviews, explainers, and research highlights for both scholarly and general audiences.

This Substack aim to make the complex, critical, and creative work of CASCADE visible and accessible, engaging not only fellow researchers, but also policymakers, technologists, educators, and curious readers.

CASCADE (101119511) is a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network funded by the European Union and UKRI.
