Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently navigating a profound shift in the academic landscape—a transition where the "human" and the "digital" are no longer separate entities but are fundamentally intertwined. This Topical Collection, "The Interdisciplinary Bridge," serves as a premier scholarly platform dedicated to exploring the dynamic interplay between humanistic inquiry and computational power.

Our objective is to move beyond the utilitarian view of technology as a mere tool. Instead, we aim to investigate how Code (algorithms, AI, and digital infrastructure) is actively reshaping Language (communication, pedagogy, and linguistics) and Culture (identity, ethics, and societal structures). By fostering a dialogue between computer scientists and humanities scholars, this collection seeks to define a new "Technological Humanism."

While we maintain a strong focus on the evolution of Language Teaching and Acquisition within digital environments, we encourage submissions that bridge the gap between technical innovation and the humanities at large. Whether your work explores the role of AI in the classroom, the ethics of digital discourse, or the computational analysis of cultural artifacts, this Special Issue provides the multidisciplinary visibility your research deserves.

We invite original research, conceptual frameworks, and case studies that contribute to this essential bridge between the humanities and the digital frontier.
