We invite submissions for the COLLING 2025 Workshop on New Horizons in
Computational Linguistics for Religious Texts that will be held with
the 31st edition of COLING in 2025 in Abu Dhabi (UAE) (COLING 2025).
This workshop invites researchers exploring the intersection of
language technology and religious texts. This workshop aims to foster
discussion on cutting-edge applications of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) to religious texts, including:
    •   Analyzing faith-defining canons and authoritative
interpretations
    •   Extracting insights from sermons, liturgy, prayers, and poetry
    •   Leveraging Large Language Models for novel research avenues
The Coling-Rel25 workshop will explore the potential of NLP to unlock
new understandings of religious traditions and chart the future of
this exciting research area. The workshop welcomes researchers from
computational linguistics, digital humanities, and related fields.

1.      Workshop Topics and Contents

We welcome submissions on a range of topics, including but not limited
to:
    •   Computational Morphology and Syntax for Religious texts;
    •   analysis of ceremonial, liturgical, and ritual speech;
recitation styles; speech decorum; discourse analysis for religious
texts;
   •    suitability of modal and other logics for knowledge
representation and inference in religious texts;
   •    issues in, and evaluation of, machine translation in religious
texts;
   •    text-mining, stylometry, and authorship attribution for
religious texts;
   •    corpus query languages and tools for exploring religious
corpora;
   •    dictionaries, thesaurai, Wordnet, and ontologies for religious
texts;
   •    measuring semantic relatedness between multiple religious

   •    (new) corpora and rich and novel annotation schemes for
religious texts;
   •    annotation and analysis of religious metaphor;
   •    genre analysis for religious texts;
