Meeting Description: 

The label “Digital Humanities”, especially in the case of linguistic and
philological sciences, indicates a number of different approaches, that range
from the digital publication of materials to the development of advanced
strategies of formal representation aiming at investigating specific features
of texts and languages that were previously studied using a standard,
pre-computational approach.

The workshop “Formal Representation & Digital Humanities: text, language and
tools”, organized within the framework of the MSCA project “SLUW: A
Computer-Aided Study of the (Morpho-)Syntax of the Luwian Language”, to be
held at the University of Verona (Italy) on June 28-29, 2016, aims at
promoting the communication between specialists of all aspects of digital and
computational philology and linguistics.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
