Prof. Demberg gave a talk to Korean visiting students from the University of Seoul

Professor Vera Demberg recently welcomed a group of 30 bachelor's students from the University of Seoul (UoS) to Saarland University and gave a talk as part of their visit under the UoS Career Expedition (UCE). 
The UCE, launched by the University of Seoul as a structured gap-year program, is designed to give students the opportunity to step away from their regular studies, explore their aspirations, and connect experiential learning with long-term career goals. 
During the session, Prof. Demberg presented her research, highlighting how combining interdisciplinary methods from psycholinguistics and large language models can advance our understanding of pragmatics and language use in context. 
The visit offered the UoS students a good opportunity to engage directly with cutting-edge research at Saarland University and to reflect on how such international academic experiences can inform their future study and career plans.
