Last CfP for the Workshop on Corpora in the Digital Humanities (CDH)
Past editions of the International Workshops on Treebanks and Linguistic
Theories (TLT) have included co-located events exploring the use of 
linguistic
annotations in Digital Humanities. This time, the co-located workshop 
will also
focus on the creation, annotation and use of corpora in Digital 
Humanities. The
workshop will focus on bringing together an audience from the humanities,
digital humanities, linguistics, and computational linguistics to 
explore venues
of collaboration and learning from each other. The workshop will feature 
1) a
rapidfire public presentation of digital interventions that showcase
collaborations and DH needs and 2) presentations from all areas within 
digital
humanities where corpora do or can play a role.
The focus of this workshop lies in the description of ideas, approaches,
resources, and tools that are related to text corpora, linguistic 
annotation in
any form, and Digital Humanities. The workshop is intended to foster
collaborations and to cross-fertilize knowledge and approaches across
disciplines. WORKSHOP TOPICS

The workshop invites the submission of papers, posters and software
demonstrations on original and unpublished research on the following topics,
including, but not limited to:
  •	DH and text corpora
•	DH and computational linguistics
•	Linguistic annotation in DH
•	Annotations in DH that go beyond the linguistic levels •	DH and Linked 
Open Data (LOD)
•	Standardization of data and annotation (cf., e.g., the Poetry 
Standardization
project)
•	Moving DH towards more empirically grounded methods •	Digitization of 
Incomplete Corpora / Redacted Archives (e.g. representing
gaps, erasures) •	Outreach efforts linking DH and corpus/computational 
linguistics
