Herrenhäuser Symposium: Visual Linguistics. Theory and Application of
Visualization in Linguistics
http://www.visual-linguistics.net/symposium

November 19 - 21, 2014, Schloss Herrenhausen, Hannover, Germany

Call for papers
==================
Visualization as a means of illustration has a long tradition in
linguistics. Consider, for example, tree graphs for the representation
of syntactic interpretations, maps to display isoglosses and
keyword-in-context representations of corpus query results. With the
advent of corpora with billions of words and the establishment of
statistical, corpus linguistic methods and the possibility to dovetail
quantitative analysis with qualitative interpretive analysis to an
ideally iterative empirical-hermeneutic process, the subject has
recently received a new relevance and today provides for linguistics
both a great development opportunity and a great challenge.

The conference Visual Linguistics wants to face this challenge. Its aim
is to present a wide range of visualization approaches in linguistics
and related disciplines in the digital humanities and to discuss them in
particular with regard to their integration into methodologies and their
role in the process of gaining new scientific insights. The spectrum of
the invited contributions encompasses the whole range from history of
science and meta-theoretical considerations up to concrete applications,
implementations and techniques.

The three-day event is aimed at an
audience from the disciplines of linguistics, corpus linguistics,
digital humanities, computational linguistics, and related subjects.
Possible contributions are talks, posters and live demos. The
contributions will be peer reviewed by the program committee. Travel
grants covering travel and accomodation will be offered to all accepted
presenters.

The conference key topics include (but are not limited to) the
following:

- Theory of scientific visualization and diagrammatics
- New challenges of visualizations in the domains of digital humanities
  and linguistics
- Methods and techniques of visualizations in linguistics and digital
  humanities
- Traditional forms of visualizations in linguistics

To contribute please submit an abstract of 400 to 500 words in English
or German. The abstract has to be in PDF format and must not contain any
