ABOUT ACRH

The workshop aims at building a tighter collaboration between people
working in various areas of the Humanities (such as literature,
philology, history etc.) and the research community involved in
developing, using and making annotated corpora accessible.

Addressing topics related to annotated corpora for research in the
Humanities is an interdisciplinary task, which involves corpus and
computational linguists (mostly those working in literary computing),
philologists, scholars in the Humanities and computer
scientists. However, this interdisciplinarity is not fully realised
yet. Indeed, philologists and scholars are not used to exploit NLP
tools and language resources such as annotated corpora; in turn,
computational linguists are more prone to develop language resources
for NLP purposes only.

For instance, although many corpora that play a relevant role for
research in Humanities are today available in digital format
(theatrical plays, contemporary novels, critical literature, literary
reviews etc.), only a few of them are linguistically tagged, while
most still lack linguistic tagging at all. Historical corpora are also
a case of special interest, since their creation demands a strong
interplay between computational linguistics and more traditional
scholarship. Over the past few years a number of historical annotated
corpora have been started, among which are treebanks for Middle, Early
Modern and Old English, Early New High German, Medieval Portuguese,
Ugaritic, Latin, Ancient Greek and several translations of the New
Testament into Indo-European languages. The experience of these
ever-growing group of projects can provide many suggestions on the
methodology as well as on the practice of interaction between literary
studies, philology and corpus linguistics.

CO-LOCATED WITH

TLT10: The 10th International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic
Theories

January 6-7, 2012

Conference Website: http://tlt10.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/

The TLT workshop series has proven successful in providing a forum for
researchers in the field of Computational Linguistics who are experts
in the design, creation and exploitation of annotated corpora and
their relation to linguistic theories.

Registration for both workshops is open till November 18th.
