Abstract

The quill is dead; long live AI. Generative AI writing tools or what is commonly known as GAI or GenAI are becoming the students best friends. Today, they are largely used -and abused- by students and surprisingly even researchers looking for the perfect text. Patterning GenAI content like ChatGPT is still an unexplored avenue. From this perspective, this paper tries to provide structured guidance for struggling post-millennial learners. After asking ChatGPT to generate academic texts, a content analysis was conducted to unlock ChatGPT's seemingly perfect writing style. The results of the research uncovered a series of decoded patterns that offer a treasure map and an academic journey to GenAI minds. Furthermore, this showed that (over) relying on GenAI machines or competing with them is simply counter-productive. Therefore, learning WITH them is technically possible. Imagine for a second the great potential of such cooperation human-machine. Speed isallied with imagination. Why not? Moving from a prohibitive approach to an inclusive one through learning with AI chatbots might be a solution.

Abstract

Can we Aesopianise other languages? This is what this article is about. You must be familiar with the fable of the Fox and the Grapes. Arent you? Its popularity has crossed the borders and became one of the most shared fables in the world. That popularity (1) is in fact an asset for linguists to implement the linguistic context predictability (2) using narratives. On the other hand, borrowings (3) and collocational patterns (4) can be of paramount importance to unlocking linguistically related languages. Therefore, it would be interesting to approach fables through specific strategies to try to guess familiar texts in context. To test this novel approach, we invited ten master students to participate in an experiment where they were asked to perform a series of tasks using the four linguistic tools in a game-like exercise. The results showed that participants succeeded in the post-test 26.09% of the lexicon found in ten popular fables -which is for sure not excellent but highly encouraging- when compared with that little 2.94% in the pre-test. Furthermore, the study implies that linguistic awareness preceded by cultural awareness could be a significantly powerful tool for learning any foreign language.
