Call: Second Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics
Digital linguistics is a growing interdisciplinary field at the
intersection of linguistics, information technology, and the social
sciences. This is reflected by the growing number of new projects,
publication series, and university courses. A central focus of digital
linguistics is language data, i.e., digital artifacts that use human
language as a form of expression. The range of this language data
includes social media content, parliamentary transcripts, newspapers and
medieval manuscripts, among others. Such data is processed, annotated,
analyzed, curated, shared, archived, and reused, among other activities.
Therefore, the topics covered in this workshop span from the creation of
digital language resources (corpora, dictionaries, etc.) and their
analysis (e.g., semantic change detection, emotion and sentiment
analysis), to the use of standards and research infrastructures, as well
as methods for long-term archiving or reuse of language data.
The variety of research in this field in Austria was shown during the
first Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics and the previous Austrian
Meetings on Sentiment Inferenz (ÖTSI 2021, 2023), where 37 researchers
from different Austrian and international research institutions
presented their projects.
This year’s workshop “Second Austrian Meeting on Digital Linguistics” is
a follow-up of these workshops. Again, the aim of the workshop is to
highlight recent developments in the Austrian research landscape and to
connect different projects working with or on methods in digital
linguistics, as well as the researchers involved. The workshop aims to
facilitate the exchange of methodological insights and the creation of
synergies through the mutual sharing of digital language resources, also
within the framework of the research infrastructure CLARIAH-AT.
Furthermore, the workshop also addresses international researchers, who
are working in the field of digital linguistics and who want to present
their research and exchange and connect with the Austrian research
community.
