Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics

Call Deadline: 01-Jan-2023

Meeting Description:

The jubilee 26th International Conference on Historical Linguistics,
50 years after the first conference on historical linguistics, will be
held from 4 to 8 September 2023 at the University of Heidelberg.

The ICHL brings together historical linguists and specialists in
related fields to explore advances in areas including methods and
practices of linguistic reconstruction; formal and functional
approaches to language change; historical sociolinguistics;
computational approaches to historical linguistics; contact and areal
linguistics; interfaces between historical linguistics and other
disciplines; and many other related areas.

Calls for Papers:

Call for Contributions to the workshop "Exploiting Standardized
Cross-Linguistic Data in Historical Linguistics" (organized by Robert
Forkel, Gerhard Jäger, and Johann-Mattis List) as part of the 26th
International Conference on Historical Linguistics.

Computational approaches play an increasingly important role in
mainstream historical linguistics. Along with these contributions, we
note an increased need for standards which drive the curation and
sharing of data in historical linguistics (annotated texts, wordlists,
collections of structural data, information on phylogenies, etc.).
While there have been attempts towards standardization in the past,
most prominently reflected in the Cross-Linguistic Data Formats
initiative (Forkel et al. 2018), which has been adopted by several
teams working on computational and quantitative approaches in the
field of historical linguistics, there are still many types of data
for which no standards and examples of best practice exist, although
they serve frequently as input or output of studies in historical
linguistics (e.g. language phylogenies as collected in Greenhill’s
(2022) “Phlorest collection”). Considering in addition that many new
data collections have been published lately (Dellert et al. 2020, List
et al. 2022, Kaiping and Klamer 2018), it seems about time to
consolidate and discuss which methods we have at our disposal in order
to explore highly standardized collections of cross-linguistic data.

The workshop, organized as part of the 26th International Conference
of Historical Linguistics
(https://www.slav.uni-heidelberg.de/forschung/tagungen/ichl26.html)
intends to bring together scholars from three different backgrounds:
those who work actively on the development of new standards for
cross-linguistic data in historical linguistics in particular and
comparative linguistics in general, those who design new methods and
workflows to explore and exploit standardized data, and those who
conduct full-scale analyses of standardized data in order to address
concrete scientific problems.

In order to submit an abstract for a talk at our workshop, please send
a one-page abstract in PDF form to Johann-Mattis List
(mattis_list at eva.mpg.de) by January 1, 2023. Please write ICHL 26
Workshop Submission in the subject line of your email. After having
been reviewed by all co-organizers (Robert Forkel, Gerhard Jäger,
Johann-Mattis List), we will inform all who submitted a talk about the
outcome of the evaluation by January 12th. For questions regarding the
workshop, please also contact Johann-Mattis List.
