<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the third series of the<i> Data in Historical Linguistics</i> seminar series is now open. These seminars will be run
by King’s College London and are mostly aimed at PhD students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs). The purpose of this seminar series is to bring together researchers working on historical linguistics with a quantitative approach, and to discuss current avenues
of research in this topic. Following on from the success of the first two series, we hope that this third seminar series will continue to nurture international collaboration and establish academic ties among researchers working on similar topics in this field.</span></p>
