Full Title: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative 


Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2011 

2nd, revised, call for contributions to jTEI, topic: 'TEI for linguists'

The Text Encoding Initiative, the publisher of the TEI Guidelines that have set 
the standards for Digital Humanities for the past 20 years, has recently 
launched a new peer-reviewed open-access journal, the jTEI (http://journal.tei-
c.org/journal/), designed to become the primary platform for the dissemination 
of TEI-related content.

The conveners of the TEI Special Interest Group 'TEI for Linguists' have the 
pleasure to announce a revised call for papers for the third, special edition of 
jTEI, devoted to the topic of the use of the TEI Guidelines for linguistic 
purposes.

While the Guidelines are an obvious encoding standard in Digital-Humanities-
based research, they are still not so obvious a choice for those working in 
linguistics. This is surprising, particularly in the field of computational and 
corpus linguistics, because the Guidelines address many issues relevant to 
creators and maintainers of digitalised collections of language data such as 
language corpora, transcriptions of spoken language or lexical databases, as 
well as to descriptions of this kind of data, in the form of electronic 
dictionaries, linguistic annotations, Feature-Structure-based modelling of 
information, or metadata catalogs. Moreover, with recent developments in 
data mining and text analysis, the needs of Digital Humanities researchers 
are becoming closely aligned with those working in the field of Natural 
Language Processing. The annotation scheme developed under the auspices 
of the Text Encoding Initiative has the potential to become one of the links 
between these disciplines.   

We invite contributions dealing with, in particular:

* (un)suitability of the TEI for the annotation of linguistically annotated 
corpora;
* reasons for not adopting the TEI in the field of linguistics and language-
resource management;
* the relationship between the TEI encoding scheme and the standards of ISO 
TC37/SC4 'Language Resource Management';
* the TEI as the common ground between the Humanities and NLP;
* interoperability between data formats used in the field of linguistics and in 
TEI annotations;
* usefulness of TEI modules to linguists, e.g. for purposes of transcribing 
speech or encoding feature structures;
* the potential for rich structuring of documents that the TEI offers vs. text 
mining / Information Extraction / text analysis -- is the TEI a potential player 
in this field?

Full papers are due on October 31. The notifications of acceptance will be 
sent on December 15. For further information submission and author 
guidelines, please see http://journal.tei-c.org/journal/about/submissions .

With any further questions, please e-mail journal at tei-c.org .

Dates:

* Submission of full papers for review: 31 October 2011
* Notification of acceptance: 15 December 2011
* Complete submissions due: 31 January 2012
