Abstract: An international group of 40 scholars in computational linguistics, natural language processing, and cognitive science was assembled to discuss the relationship between linguistics and contemporary language models. Over the course of the week, presentations and work sessions grappled with questions about how LMs can support linguistic research (either as a source of evidence, or as a tool); how linguistic knowledge can inform the design, interpretation, or application of LMs; and what framing is appropriate for the language functionality of LMs.
