Meeting Description:

The 3rd International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical
Language Change (LChange’22) to be co-located with ACL (2022) to be held in
Dublin, during May 26-28, 2022 (exact dates will be announced later) and will
be a hybrid event with the possibility of online participation (following the
main conference).


Call for Papers:

The workshop explores SOTA computational methodologies, theories and digital
text resources on exploring the time-varying nature of human language. It aims
to provide pioneering researchers who work on computational methods,
evaluation, and large-scale modelling of language change an outlet for
disseminating cutting-edge research on topics concerning language change. The
workshop will also support discussion on the evaluation of computational
methodologies for uncovering language change. This year, LChange will feature
a shared task on semantic change detection for Spanish as one track of the
workshop. Timeline for the shared task will be released shortly. Keynote Talks
will be announced in the next few months.

This year we will offer mentoring for PhD students and young researchers in
one-on-one meetings during the workshop. If you are interested, send us a
short description of your work and we will set you up with one of the
organizers of this workshop. If your paper is rejected from the workshop, we
can also provide advice on improving it for future submission. This offer is
limited, and will be chosen based on topical fit and availability of
appropriate mentors. Deadline for applying for mentorship is May 30th via
(PC-ACLws2022 at languagechange.org).

Via our sponsor, Iguanadon.ai, we can offer one free registration for a PhD
student! Apply by emailing us your short cv and why you need your registration
paid.

Important Dates
* February 28, 2022: Paper submission
* March 26, 2022: Notification of acceptance
* March 30, 2022: Deadline for mentorship application
* April 10, 2022: Camera-ready papers due
* May 26-28, 2022: Workshop date (days will be decided upon later)

Submissions
We accept three types of submissions, long papers and short papers and task
description papers for the shared task track, all following the standard
ACL2021 style and page limitations, and the ACL submission policy:
https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Policies_for_Submission,_
Review_and_Citation

Submissions should be sent in electronic forms, using the Softconf START
conference management system. The submission site will be announced on the
workshop page https://languagechange.org/events/2022-acl-lchange/ once
available.

We invite original research papers from a wide range of topics, including but
not limited to:
* Novel methods for detecting diachronic semantic change and lexical
replacement
* Automatic discovery and quantitative evaluation of laws of language change
* Computational theories and generative models of language change
* Sense-aware (semantic) change analysis
* Diachronic word sense disambiguation
* Novel methods for diachronic analysis of low-resource languages
* Novel methods for diachronic linguistic data visualization
* Novel applications and implications of language change detection
* Quantification of sociocultural influences on language change
* Cross-linguistic, phylogenetic, and developmental approaches to language
change
* Novel datasets for cross-linguistic and diachronic analyses of language

Submissions are open to all, and are to be submitted anonymously. All papers
will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process by at least three
reviewers with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers.

The workshop is scheduled to last for two days during May 26th and 28th (with
exact dates announced later). Contact us at PC-ACLws2022 at languagechange.org if
you have any questions.
