DESCRIPTION:Speaker: speaker: Dr Gan Qiao\, University of Canterbury\, Ne
 w Zealand\n\nAbstract: With large language models increasingly embedded 
 in everyday writing\, language production is becoming a human-AI collabo
 rative process. This talk examines how AI assistance shapes linguistic v
 ariation across English dialects and contexts. I present a multi-dialect
 al\, longitudinal corpus of 693 participants from five English dialects 
 writing under four AI-assistance conditions\, and report effects on lexi
 cal diversity\, syntactic complexity\, and stylistic variation. I furthe
 r examine linguistic complexity trade-offs in hybrid human-AI production
  and the role of social factors in mediating AI effects. The findings sh
 ow how AI is reshaping patterns of language production and variation\, w
 ith implications for the future of AI assistance and linguistic diversit
 y.
