[Histling-l] Data in Historical Linguistics Seminar series Call for Abstracts

[Bru, Mathilde]

Call for abstracts

We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for a new online seminar series Data in Historical Linguistics is now open. This seminar series will be run jointly by King’s College London and University College London, and is aimed at PhD students and early career researchers. 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. We hope that these seminars will nurture international collaboration and establish academic ties among researchers working on similar topics in this field.

Seminars will start in January 2024 and will last one hour (30 minutes of presentation + 30 minutes of discussion). All seminars will be held remotely via Microsoft Teams at 5pm GMT. They will provisionally be held once a month, but this may increase up to twice a month depending on the number of speakers. The day of the week may vary depending on the speakers’ availability.

We welcome proposals from current PhD students working on Historical Linguistics, with an emphasis on quantitative approaches. Abstracts of a maximum of 400 words should include the description (language, size, object, methodology) of a dataset. They should also specify whether the analysis was conducted manually or computationally.

Abstracts and personal information (name, surname, affiliation, email address) should be sent to either of the two convenors, Andrea Farina (andrea.farina at kcl.ac.uk<mailto:andrea.farina at kcl.ac.uk>) or Mathilde Bru (mathilde.bru.20 at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:mathilde.bru.20 at ucl.ac.uk>).

Deadline for the abstracts is 11 December 2023.

All this information is readily available at our website<https://datainhistoricallinguistics.wordpress.com>.
