Workshop on Corpus-based Research in the Humanities

(Vienna) Deadline: 08-Oct-2017

Call for Papers:

The Workshop on ''Corpus-based Research in the Humanities'' (CRH) brings together those areas of
Computational Linguistics and the Humanities that share an interest in the building, managing and
analysis of text corpora. The edition of this year has a specific focus on time and space annotation in
textual data, backed by a keynote speaker with special interest in this aspect of corpus management.

Submissions of long abstracts for oral presentations and posters (with or without demonstrations)
featuring high quality and previously unpublished research are invited on the following topics:

- Specific issues related to the annotation of corpora for research in the Humanities (annotation schemes
and principles), with special interest in space and time annotations
- Corpora as a basis for research in the Humanities
- Diachronic, historical and literary corpora
- Use of corpora for stylometrics and authorship attribution
- Philological issues, like different readings, textual variants, apparatus, non-standard orthography and
spelling variation
- Adaptation of NLP tools for older language varieties
- Integration of corpora for the Humanities into language resources infrastructures
- Tools for building and accessing corpora for the Humanities
- Examples of fruitful collaboration between Computational Linguistics and Humanities in building and
exploiting corpora
- Theoretical aspects of the use of empirical evidence provided by corpora in the Humanities

This year, CRH will have a special topic concerning time and space annotation in textual data.
Submissions with this focus are especially encouraged.

The proceedings will be published in time for the workshop. They will be co-edited by Andrew Frank,
Christine Ivanovic, Francesco Mambrini, Marco Passarotti and Caroline Sporleder.
Instructions for Submission:

We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the
workshop as PDF. Abstracts should not exceed 6 pages (references included) and written in English.
Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crh2 (requires prior registration with EasyChair).
The style guidelines can be found here: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/forschung-institute/biblio/academiae-
corpora/ac/crh2/authors-kit/.

Reviewing will be double-blind; therefore, the abstract should not include the authors' names and
affiliations or any references to web-sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore,
any self-reference should be avoided. For instance, instead of ''We previously showed (Brown, 2001)...'',
use citations such as ''Brown previously showed (Brown, 2001)...''. Each submitted abstract will be
reviewed by three members of the program committee.

Submitted abstracts can be for oral or poster presentations (possibly with demo). There is no difference
between the different kinds of presentation both in terms of reviewing process and publication in the
proceedings (the limit of 6 pages holds for both abstracts intended for oral and poster presentations).

The authors of the accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full version of their paper, which may
be extended up to 10 pages (references included).
