CONFERENCE
The Congress will feature a general session and several workshops. One of the workshops will be organized by professors Andra Kalnača and Ilze Lokmane, Faculty of Humanities at the University of Latvia, along with assistant professor Daiki Horiguči from the University of Kyoto.
The last few years have seen a growing need for the analysis of linguistic data using various types of corpora, databases, dictionaries, and other digital resources, which provide a number of possibilities for data processing and annotation based in various statistical and corpus linguistics methods. Because corpora and other digital sources can be used to analyze language both sinchronically and diachronically, they provide the chance to look beyond the traditional methods and apply new theoretical and practical approaches in a variety of languages when conducting grammatical research.
This workshop is conceived as a forum for the exchange of new and creative ideas between researchers interested in various areas of grammar and interdisciplinary approaches. We encourage the participation of those who base their research on various Baltic corpora, databases, and other electronic material and who apply corpus linguistics methodology in their research.
We invite presentations which widen the theoretical and practical perception not only of individual Baltic languages and their respective variations but also universal regularities of the language system, supported by digital resources of various breadth and type as well as applied research methods.
The main topics of discussion are these:
- The use of corpora, databases, dictionaries, and other electronic resources in the analysis of grammatical phenomena, both in individual Baltic languages and from a typological or cognitive perspective
- Various types of corpora and their combinations in the analysis of various aspects of Baltic grammar
- Baltic-language digital resources and the analysis of the grammar system‘s evolution
- The interconnections between Baltic-language digital resources and grammar (semantics, pragmatics, etc.)
If you would like to submit a paper for this workshop, please fill out the abstract submission form.
Abstract submission deadline: June 1, 2025, Notification of accepted papers – by July 1, 2025.
