AI-Linguistica. Linguistic Studies on AI-Generated Texts and Discourses is a new scholarly journal aiming at providing a publishing plateform for researchers from all areas of Linguistics (interfacing with neighboring fields: Communication Science, Media and Journalism Studies, Computational Linguistics) to reflect on generated texts from a variety of perspectives: theoretical, descriptive, and applied.
We understand ‘generated texts’ in a broad sense, including formats as diverse as texts generated by Large Language Models, AI-powered smart agents (i.e. chatbots, voice assistants, social bots etc.), writing assistance tools, template-based software, and neural machine translation services.
About the JournalAbstract
La présente étude porte sur l’authentification du style dans les productions textuelles hybrides. Cette notion de style est élusive en soi, grossièrement partagée entre le premier mouvement d’écriture spontané et les ajustements apportés ensuite pour améliorer le texte et sa réception. Puisqu’elle fonde la légitimité de la figure auctoriale, il convient donc de l’interroger dans le contexte des grands modèles de langage, lesquels sont des générateurs de style comme de texte. Plusieurs études cherchent à caractériser le style d’un Grand Modèle de Langage (GML), entre faits textuels et hallucinations erronées. La présente contribution propose une catégorisation des différentes productions hybrides selon trois axes : le matériel d’origine, la direction des altérations et la partition du résultat final. Cette catégorisation ne doit toutefois pas s’appliquer de manière rigide et mettre en exergue la complémentarité de l’approche hybride plutôt que la séparation distincte du style humain et du style artificiel. En effet, une production hybride ne saurait l’être sans un rétrocontrôle attentif d’une figure auctoriale humaine, laquelle doit entériner chaque aspect du texte généré dans la version finale de la production ; pour obtenir un résultat final qui, somme toute, s’avère fondamentalement humain.
