Meeting Description: 

DiGS16 will host a special workshop entitled 'Converging Corpora: How to standardize historical corpora of typologically and genetically different languages' on 2 July 2014, aiming to present and discuss historical corpora and methodological issues related to corpus-building.

With the recent increase in the number of annotated historical corpora, it seems reasonable to explore the possibilities of collaboration. The objective is to move towards a harmonized common framework and methodology. An important goal of the workshop is to highlight the issues we encounter when annotating languages with rich morphology.

Conference Venue:

Research Institute for Linguistics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Benczúr utca 33.
1068 Budapest
Hungary

For details and information on registration etc. see the conference website: http://www.nytud.hu/digs16 

Program:

Converging Corpora: How to standardize historical corpora of typologically and genetically different languages

This workshop is attached to the 16th Diachronic Generative Syntax conference. (See separate announcement for the program of DiGS16.)
