Description

This is an annual publication representing the state of the art in humanities computing. Each volume contains a selection of papers presented at the joint annual conference of the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), based in North America, and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC), based in Europe. These are two major associations for the use of computers in scholarly research and teaching in a wide range of humanities disciplines including languages, literature, history, philosophy, art, archaeology and music. The major topics addressed in this volume are statistical methods, morphology and syntax of modern languages, textual criticism, language and text understanding, language and text generation, and non-linear text. The collection is notable for its coverage of a wide range of natural languages, including French, Finnish, German, Italian, Latin, Russian and Scottish English.Table of ContentPart One: Statistical Methods. 1: Christian Delcourt: Some Reflections about Current Practice in Lexicometry. 2: Philippe Thoiron: Topography of Terms and Structure of Techno-Scientific Texts.
