Subject: Language Resources and Evaluation Call for Papers

 
We invite submissions of papers to a special issue of the journal ”Language
Resources and Evaluation”. The special issue will focus on the use of language
technology for digital humanities and will have the title: Language Technology
for Digital Humanities.

Motivation:

The use of digital resources and tools across humanities disciplines has
steadily increased, giving rise to new research paradigms and associated
methods that are commonly subsumed under the term ”digital humanities”.
Digital humanities does not constitute a new discipline in itself, but rather
a new approach to humanities research that cuts across different existing
humanities disciplines. While digital humanities extends well beyond
language-based research, textual resources and spoken language materials play
a central role in most humanities disciplines. Applying LT tools and data for
digital humanities research implies new perspectives on these resources
regarding domain adaptation, interoperability, technical requirements,
documentation, and usability of user interfaces.

Topics:

We invite original contributions on completed work, not published before and
not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Specific topics include,
but are not limited to:

- Case studies of using language technology and/or language resources with the
goal of finding new answers to existing research questions in a particular
humanities discipline or addressing entirely new research questions

- Case studies of expanding the functionality of existing language processing
tools in order to be able to address research questions in digital humanities

- The design of new language processing tools as well as annotation tools for
spoken and written language, showcasing their use in digital humanities
research

- Domain adaption of rule-based, statistical, or machine-learning models for
language processing tools in digital humanities research

- Challenges posed for language processing tools when used on diachronic data,
language variation data, or literary texts

- Showcasing the use of language processing tools in humanities disciplines
such as anthropology, gender studies, history, literary studies, philosophy,
political science, and theology

Submission:

Accepted papers will have a length of 20-30 pages, excluding references.

Authors are advised to use the online manuscript submission for the journal.
Make sure to select the special issue when asked to provide the article type.
More information, including formatting instructions for authors can be found

address in their submission. Questions regarding the special issue should be
sent to the same address.
