Meeting Description:

The 3rd International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical
Language Change (LChange’22) to be co-located with ACL (2022) to be held in
Dublin, during May 26-28, 2022 (exact dates will be announced later) and will
be a hybrid event with the possibility of online participation (following the
main conference).

Final Call for Papers:

New Deadline

New submission deadline: March 2nd.

The 3rd LChange workshop will be co-located with ACL in Dublin in May 26-27
2022 as a hybrid event.

All aspects of computational approaches to historical language change are
welcome. LChange explores state-of-the-art computational methodologies,
theories and digital text resources on exploring the time-varying nature of
human language.

We aim to provide pioneering researchers who work on computational methods,
evaluation, and large-scale modelling of language change an outlet for
disseminating research on topics concerning language change. The workshop will
support discussion on the evaluation of computational methodologies for
uncovering language change.

In addition, LChange’22 will feature a shared task on semantic change
detection for Spanish as one track of the workshop.

This year we will offer mentoring for PhD students and young researchers in
one-on-one meetings. If you are interested, send us a short description of
your work and we will set you up with one of the organizers of this workshop.
If your paper is rejected from the workshop, we can also provide advice on
improving it for future submission. This offer is limited, and will be chosen
based on topical fit and availability of appropriate mentors. Deadline for
applying for mentorship is May 30th via PC-ACLws2022 at languagechange.org.

Via our sponsor, Iguanodon.ai, we can offer one free registration for a PhD
student! Apply by emailing us your short cv and why you need your registration
paid.

Submissions:
We accept three types of submissions, long and short papers, following the
ACL2022 style, and the ACL submission policy, and shared task papers.
Long and short papers may consist of up to eight (8) and four (4) pages of
content, respectively, plus unlimited references; final versions will be given
one additional page of content so that reviewers' comments can be taken into
account. Shared task papers may consist of up to four (4) pages plus unlimited
references, but without an additional page upon acceptance. Overleaf templates
are available here:

pdm

We invite original research papers from a wide range of topics, including but
not limited to:
* Novel methods for detecting diachronic semantic change and lexical
replacement
* Computational theories and generative models of language change
* Sense-aware (semantic) change analysis
* Diachronic word sense disambiguation
* Novel methods for diachronic analysis of low-resource languages
* Novel methods for diachronic linguistic data visualization
* Novel applications and implications of language change detection
* Quantification of sociocultural influences on language change
* Cross-linguistic, phylogenetic, and developmental approaches to language
change
* Novel datasets for cross-linguistic and diachronic analyses of language

Anonymous submissions using the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) are open to all:
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2022/Workshop/LChange
Papers will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process by at least
three reviewers with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop
organizers.

Workshop organizers: Nina Tahmasebi, Lars Borin, Simon Hengchen (U of
Gothenburg), Syrielle Montariol (U Paris-Saclay), Haim Dubossarsky (Queen Mary
University of London), Andrey Kutuzov (U of Oslo).
