[Histling-l] Call for papers "Visualisations in Historical Linguistics" (Special Issue, Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities)

[MOLINEAUX RESS Ben]

Call for papers Visualisations in Historical Linguistics (Special Issue, Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities)

Background: The Angus McIntosh Centre hosted a workshop Visualisations in Historical Linguistics as part of the ICEHL conference (27-31 August 2018) where speakers presented new methods or tools which help historical linguists acquire insights through visual representations of data. Visualisations can provide, richer, more intuitive perspectives on the relations between linguistic and extra-linguistic variables (temporal, spatial and social distributions), as well as on relations between different levels of linguistic structure (sounds-spellings, syntax-semantics, etc.). The presenters of the workshop generally gave a moderately technical overview of the visualisations they are working with or have developed, and provided a concise application of these to a particular problem in the history of English or Scots.

Publication: Papers of the workshop will be published as a Special Issue of the Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities (https://jdmdh.episciences.org/), edited by Bettelou Los (University of Edinburgh), Benjamin Molineaux (University of Edinburgh) and Martti Mäkinen (Hanken School of Economics).

Call for papers: To broaden the perspective beyond historical varieties of English, the present call invites other authors working in the field of historical linguistics to submit a paper for this issue. The paper must present original work that has not been published elsewhere; its experiments and data analysis should be replicable, and the paper should indicate how its data can be accessed (e.g. in a data repository with a stable URL).

Submission: Submit an extended abstract of the paper (max. 1500 words) to icehl20 at ed.ac.uk<mailto:icehl20 at ed.ac.uk> before 31st March, 2019. If accepted, the author(s) will receive detailed instructions for the submission of the paper, which should be submitted before June 1st, 2019.

Best regards,

Bettelou, Martti and Ben (The Editors)
