Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Semantics; Text/Corpus Linguistics

Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2005

Meeting Description:

Corpus analysis and building are redefining the practices, or even the theories of the humanities. As these disciplines are more and more dealing with digital documents, they have to reconsider their relation to the empirical. The digitization of scientific texts also involves a reflexive return to their very development. Do these new ways of accessing documents generate new forms of knowledge construction?

The new national and international initiatives (e.g. the creation of the Centre for digital scientific edition of the French CNRS, the TGE Adonis – very large access equipment special for digital data and documents in the humanities and social sciences) may be the opportunities to build a federal project for the humanities and social sciences. Numerous communities have for a long time gotten involved in thinking on digitization and computer-assisted analysis: information sciences, but also history, sociology, linguistics, archaeology, literary studies – non-exhausting listing of course…

Therefore, the aim of the conference is to reinforce links and to encourage connections between teachers and researchers belonging to these disciplines and the communities of corpus linguistics and digital documents. Without much consideration towards ordinary objectivism, the conference will deal with the philological and hermeneutical problems corpus-based works have to handle, according to the tasks and the disciplines: for instance, genre and discourse typologies, description of semantic forms and contents, theme identification, concept characterization and evolution, form and content correlations.

On the practical level, the conference will tackle the questions risen by
corpus collecting, building, coding, tagging and processing and digital
edition. Software demonstrations are scheduled, as well as introductions to
issues specific to the concerned disciplines.
