<p>Dear LingTyp community,</p>
<p>We are looking forward for submissions to our workshop
"Challenges for Computer-Assisted Language Comparison (Workshop at
ICHL 27)", to be held at the ICHL 27 in Chile next year. Please
send us your submissions until 30.09.2024 at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ichl25@calclab.org">ichl25@calclab.org</a>.
You can find more information in the attached abstract as well as
here: <span lang="EN-US"><a

<h5><b><i>CALL<br>
</i></b></h5>
<p class="Firstparagraph" style="text-align:justify"><span
lang="EN-US">In contrast
to purely computational approaches in historical linguistics
that try to do
without human annotation, computer-assisted language comparison
aims to
reconcile computational and classical approaches in historical
language
comparison by providing interactive workflows in which data are
passed back and
forth between humans and machines (List 2017). Computational
approaches are
mostly employed to preprocess linguistic data, while interfaces
then allow
experts to refine and correct computational annotation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">While
some
workflows and tools have been published that illustrate the
benefits of
computer-assisted as opposed to purely computer-based or purely
manual
approaches in historical linguistics (Wu et al. 2020; Hill and
List 2017;
Segerer and Flavier 2015; Starostin 2000), there remain many
tasks in
historical linguistics where computational and computer-assisted
approaches are
lacking so far. These include, for example, <i>semantic
reconstruction</i>
(Urban 2015), <i>phonological reconstruction</i> (Anttila
1972), and <i>sound
law induction</i> and the establishment of <i>relative
chronologies</i>
(Fortson 2014).</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">For
the
workshop that will — pending final evaluation — be organized as
part of the 27<sup>th</sup>
International Conference on Historical Linguistics in Santiago
de Chile (18-22
August, 2025), we invite contributions from both classical and
computational
linguistics who present open problems and potential solutions in
historical
language comparison that have so far not been addressed
sufficiently in
computer-assisted approaches. Our hope is that we find a good
mix of
contributions in which classical linguists present problems that
cannot be
addressed by computational approaches and illustrate how they
solve them
manually, while we also hope for contributions by computational
linguists who
share recently developed workflows that can be applied to data
in historical linguistics.</span></p>
<h5 style="mso-list:none;tab-stops:0cm"><span lang="EN-US">DETAILS</span></h5>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">Those
interested in contributing to the workshop are kindly asked to
send an abstract
in the form to <a href="mailto:ichl25@calclab.org"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">ichl25@calclab.org</a><span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>attaching the abstract in
the form of a DOCX
document with an accompanying PDF, in anonymized form, providing
your name and
affiliation in the email. We will then review the contributions
with an
internal team of reviewers and inform all who submitted an
abstract until <b>30
of September 2024</b> about the outcome. In case of success,
the workshop will
be held at the ICHL conference in Santiago de Chile. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-US">When
submittin
gyour abstract in DOCX form, please make sure that the abstract
has no more
than 800 words in length, excluding references (see also the
official ICHL
requirements for details at <a
href="https://ichl27santiago.cl/about-us/"
