Seminar on treebanks for historical linguistics
(Old Italian, Old Gascon)
Data in Historical Linguistics is a seminar series hosted by Andrea Farina (King’s College London) and Mathilde Bru (King’s College London). It aims to bring together PhD students and early career researchers working on historical linguistics, and conducting quantitative analyses either with a traditional or a computational approach. This seminar series has been created to encourage discussion among young scholars working in the same field. The convenors hope that the seminars will be a good opportunity to both nurture international collaboration and establish academic ties among researchers working on similar topics.
All the events will be online and held via Microsoft Teams. All other information below.
Registration forms will be open up until the Friday before the event. The link to join via Microsoft Teams will be sent the morning of the event.
