annual conference series dedicated to the collection, annotation, processing
and exploitation of corpora of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and
social media for research in the humanities. The conference brings together
language-centered research on CMC and social media in linguistics,
philologies, communication sciences, media and social sciences with research
questions from the fields of corpus and computational linguistics, language
technology, text technology, and machine learning. The conference features:

- Research in which computational methods and tools are used for the empirical
analysis of CMC in the humanities
- Approaches towards automatic processing and annotation of CMC data with
computational methods
- Corpus-linguistic research on collecting, processing, representing and
providing CMC corpora on the basis of standards in the field of the digital
humanities
