The proliferation of digital resources in the Humanities urges both the 
development of new technologies and the elaboration of new methods, 
concepts, and theories by means of which researchers can query and 
interpret large-scale textual collections. In the discovery of digital 
resources language technology are certainly playing a pivotal role. The 
goal of the workshop is to demonstrate how the application of language 
technology has produced a new understanding of texts in different fields 
of Humanities.

The workshop will bring together researchers who already apply language 
technology, and those who would like to learn about the current state of 
art in this new and evolving area. The organizers invite researchers 
(especially early career scholars) who plan to apply language 
technology, but do not already have the necessary skills and technical 
background. The second main goal of the workshop is to enhance exchange 
of experiences, disseminate know-how, and to explore potential future 
collaborations.

This international workshop is the joint effort of two major Europe-wide 
initiatives: CLARIN (Common Language Resource and Tools Infrastructure) 
and NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities). 
NeDiMAH is funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF). Thanks 
to generous funding from NeDiMAH and CLARIN, participation will be free 
of charge, and funds will be available to reimburse travel and 
accommodation expenses for a number of participants.
