Editorial: Digital linguistic biomarkers: beyond paper and pencil tests, volume II

As the co-editors of the second edition of “Digital linguistic biomarkers: beyond paper and pencil tests,” we are pleased to present this Research Topic of cutting-edge research articles that continue to explore the exciting intersection of linguistics, technology, and cognitive science. Building upon the success of our first volume in 2021 (Gagliardi et al., 2021), this new compilation delves deeper into the realm of digital linguistic biomarkers, shedding light on their evolving relevance and timeliness in the field of psychology and aging. Our first volume laid the foundation for understanding the potential of digital linguistic biomarkers in assessing various cognitive and psychological aspects. In this second volume, we witness a significant advancement in both the scope and depth of research in this area. The featured articles in this volume contribute to our understanding of how linguistic biomarkers can transcend traditional paper-and-pencil tests, offering a more nuanced and comprehensive approach to the assessment of cognitive function and psychological wellbeing.
