Abstract

The world today appears to be in an expedited transition into a new era characterized by the amalgamation of natural human, robots and digital human. The era of a “natural human-robot-digital human symbiosis” has produced a plethora of previously unseen new phenomena, forms, and trends. In this context, language life is also undergoing extensive and profound changes. In terms of language use, four new forms of interactions have emerged: An interaction between natural human and digital human, that between digital humans, that between robots and digital human, and that among natural human, robots, and digital human. The landscape of language learning may encompass natural human language learning, robotic language learning, and digital human language learning alongside  robot-assisted human language learning. In the field of language research, the surge of new data, methods, and ideas contributes to the rapid development of novel cross-cutting areas, such as language resource science and digital linguistics. Future language research needs to apprehend the development trends of the times and adopt a holistic perspective and systematic thinking to provide better assistance for societal advancement.
