*International Conference on CMC and Social Media Corpora for the
Humanities*

14–15th September 2023, University of Mannheim, Germany

The 10th International Conference on Ccomputer-mediated Communication
and Social Media Corpora for the Humanities (CMC-Corpora) will be held
at the University of Mannheim, Germany in collaboration with the
Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS). Specialized corpora
of the language of CMC and social media are increasingly vital for the
analysis of the “unparalleled and rapidly evolving diversity in terms
of speakers and settings” in digital contexts, as well as of “language
evolution seen through the lens of user-generated content, which gives
access to a number of variants, socio- and idiolects” (Barbaresi 2019:
29-30). The conference brings together language-centered research on
CMC and social media in linguistics, philologies, communication
sciences, media, and social sciences with research questions from the
fields of corpus and computational linguistics, language technology,
text technology, and machine learning. It features research in which
computational methods and tools are used for language-centered
empirical analysis of CMC and social media phenomena as well as
research on building, processing, annotating, representing, and
exploiting CMC and social media corpora, including their integration
in digital research infrastructures. We adhere to a wide definition of
CMC and Social Media, covering various media of digital communication,
including email, newsgroups, forums, chat and messenger applications
(e.g. WhatsApp), social networks (Facebook, Instagram), gaming
platforms, as well as interactions in the communication areas of video
portals (YouTube), learning platforms, gaming apps, online games and
virtual worlds.

We invite submissions on CMC-related topics, including but not limited
to:

* Development of CMC corpora / social media corpora
   * Building CMC corpora: from data collection to publication
   * Open access data for CMC research: ethical and GDPR issues
   * Annotating CMC data: genres, linguistic aspects, metadata
   * Multimodal corpora
   * Big data corpora
   * Legal issues concerning the sampling, distribution and
(long-term) archiving of social media data

* Analysis of CMC corpora / social media corpora
   * Sociolinguistic studies of CMC
   * Discourse analysis of CMC
   * Linguistic characteristics of CMC
   * Multimodal (incl. visual) aspects of CMC
   * Multilingualism and code-switching in CMC
   * CMC in language education

* Natural language processing (NLP) of CMC data / social media data
   * Normalization
   * PoS tagging
   * Anonymisation and Pseudonymisation
   * Lemmatization
   * Syntactic parsing
   * Semantic Annotation
