Meeting Description:

The need for a quantitative approach in historical linguistics has recently
been highlighted by Jenset and McGillivray (2017): in this view, the creation
of annotated historical corpora is a fundamental aspect. As Lass (2004) has
pointed out, a proper historical corpus should be characterized by maximal
information preservation, no irreversible editorial intervention, and maximal
flexibility. In order to accomplish Lass’s desiderata, the collection of
metadata, which help situate the text in its context, and the preservation of
philological annotation are of crucial importance for a correct interpretation
of language data in historical texts (Curzan 2009, Vazquez and Marques Aguado
2012).

The aim of this workshop is to reflect on the creation and annotation of
historical corpora with a particular focus on the preservation of “contextual”
information.
