Directory         1.     Piotr Banski , Second Call for Papers: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative Message 1: Second Call for Papers: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative Date: 23-Sep-2011 From: Piotr Banski <pkbanskiuw.edu.pl> Subject: Second Call for Papers: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2011 2nd, revised, call for contributions to jTEI, topic: 'TEI for linguists' The Text Encoding Initiative, the publisher of the TEI Guidelines that have set the standards for Digital Humanities for the past 20 years, has recently launched a new peer-reviewed open-access journal, the jTEI (http://journal.tei- c.org/journal/), designed to become the primary platform for the dissemination of TEI-related content. The conveners of the TEI Special Interest Group 'TEI for Linguists' have the pleasure to announce a revised call for papers for the third, special edition of jTEI, devoted to the topic of the use of the TEI Guidelines for linguistic purposes. While the Guidelines are an obvious encoding standard in Digital-Humanities- based research, they are still not so obvious a choice for those working in linguistics. This is surprising, particularly in the field of computational and corpus linguistics, because the Guidelines address many issues relevant to creators and maintainers of digitalised collections of language data such as language corpora, transcriptions of spoken language or lexical databases, as well as to descriptions of this kind of data, in the form of electronic dictionaries, linguistic annotations, Feature-Structure-based modelling of information, or metadata catalogs. Moreover, with recent developments in data mining and text analysis, the needs of Digital Humanities researchers are becoming closely aligned with those working in the field of Natural Language Processing. The annotation scheme developed under the auspices of the Text Encoding Initiative has the potential to become one of the links between these disciplines. We invite contributions dealing with, in particular: * (un)suitability of the TEI for the annotation of linguistically annotated corpora; * reasons for not adopting the TEI in the field of linguistics and language- resource management; * the relationship between the TEI encoding scheme and the standards of ISO TC37/SC4 'Language Resource Management'; * the TEI as the common ground between the Humanities and NLP; * interoperability between data formats used in the field of linguistics and in TEI annotations; * usefulness of TEI modules to linguists, e.g. for purposes of transcribing speech or encoding feature structures; * the potential for rich structuring of documents that the TEI offers vs. text mining / Information Extraction / text analysis -- is the TEI a potential player in this field? Full papers are due on October 31. The notifications of acceptance will be sent on December 15.
