Rose

Dylan Rose has been invited to give a presentation on the basis of his research paper. Rose is a PhD Candidate at the Fryske Akademy and Campus Fryslân, where he studies the cognitive and sociolinguistic mechanisms underlying Frisian–Dutch bilingual speech. His research focuses on how speaker identity shapes language switching, perceptual authenticity, and interactional behaviour, with direct implications for the design of inclusive and minority-language–sensitive AI systems. He works at the intersection of laboratory sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and speech technology.

Originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, Rose holds degrees in B.A. Honours English, B.A. Honours Psychology, and a Masters of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Prince Edward Island, as well as a Research Master (ReMa) in Linguistics: Language and Cognition from the University of Groningen. 

His ReMa thesis, "Balancing the bilingual mind: How experience shapes language switching and cognate faciliation" examined bilingual control and language attitudes in Dutch–English speakers. Across his doctoral research, he aims to bridge cognitive theory with practical language technology to support the vitality and authentic representation of minority languages.
