Meeting Description:

Thematic workshop at the ICHL 27, to be held in Santiago de Chile in
August 2025

2nd Call for Papers:

Invited Contributions

For the workshop that will — pending final evaluation — be organized
as part of the 27th International Conference on Historical Linguistics
in Santiago de Chile (18-22 August, 2025), we invite contributions
from both classical and computational linguistics who present open
problems and potential solutions in historical language comparison
that have so far not been addressed sufficiently in computer-assisted
approaches. Our hope is that we find a good mix of contributions in
which classical linguists present problems that cannot be addressed by
computational approaches and illustrate how they solve them manually,
while we also hope for contributions by computational linguists who
share recently developed workflows that can be applied to data in
historical linguistics.

Contribution Information

Those interested in contributing to the workshop are kindly asked to
send an abstract to ichl25 at calclab.org, attaching the abstract in the
form of a DOCX document with an accompanying PDF, in anonymized form,
providing your name and affiliation in the email. The deadline for
this is September 30rd. We will then review the contributions with an
internal team of reviewers and inform all who submitted an abstract
about the outcome. In case of success, the workshop will be held at
the ICHL conference in Santiago de Chile. When submitting your
abstract in DOCX form, please make sure that the abstract has no more
than 800 words in length, excluding references (see also the official
ICHL requirements for details at
https://ichl27santiago.cl/about-us/"). Abstracts can be submitted in
English and Spanish. You can find all the information here:
