[Corpora-List] Conference announcement

[Kálmán Abari]

The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) and the 
Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) hereby announce their 
2004 joint conference to be held in Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden


Computing and Multilingual, Multicultural Heritage

16th Joint Annual Conference of ALLC and ACH
June 11-16, 2004, Göteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden


The joint conference of the Association for Literary and Linguistic 
Computing (ALLC) and the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) 
is the oldest established meeting of scholars working at the intersection 
of advanced information technologies and the humanities, annually 
attracting a distinguished international community of scholars at the 
forefront of their fields.

The 2004 conference has two aims. First, we invite papers and contributions 
in all areas related to humanities computing and the application of 
advanced information technologies in humanities subjects, including 
linguistics, literature, cultural and historical studies, translation 
studies, media studies and digital collections. Papers on research and on 
teaching are both of interest.  Papers may report on new theoretical and 
methodological advances in any relevant field. Second, within this context, 
the conference is expected to address the increased challenges of 
multilingualism, an issue manifested by the further enlargement of Europe 
and the process of integration of nations world wide. We thus also 
encourage papers related to the linguistic and cultural issues of 
multilingual communities.

It is clear that specialists in humanities computing can help achieve these 
aims through individual scientific and educational tasks and joint 
projects, as well as by making available their research base through 
educational and electronic library resources. We believe that responding to 
these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect on humanities 
computing as a whole by opening up new ways and methodologies to enhance 
the use of computers and computation in a wide range of humanities disciplines.

The Call for Papers for the 2004 Joint ALLC/ACH Conference will be 
published in June 2003. We welcome presentations in English, French, 
German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.

Further information on the research and educational activities as well as 
on past conferences of the two associations can be found at www.allc.org 
(ALLC) and www.ach.org (ACH).  For an overview of the range of topics 
covered by humanities computing please refer to the journals of the 
Associations, Literary and Linguistic Computing (www.oup.co.uk) and 
Computers and the Humanities (www.kluweronline.com).
