International Conference on
"Historical Corpora 2012"
Organised by LOEWE Priority Program "Digital Humanities"
Date: December 6-9, 2012
Location: Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany
Jügelhaus (Gräfstraße at the corner of Mertonstraße, opposite Jordanstraße), Hörsaal IV
The conference poster can be seen here.
The LOEWE Priority Program “Digital Humanities” is concerned with evolving the fruitful collaboration of Humanities with Computer Sciences. One major focus within the Priority Program is devoted to examining diachronic features in text corpora. The international conference “Historical Corpora 2012” is going to cover the aspects needed for including diachrony into corpus based studies. One focus will be on Historical Linguistics, but contributions from other fields of Humanities dealing with historical corpora are strongly encouraged, as to show the growing realm of applicability of electronic corpora and to create stimulating discussions.
Keynote speakers will be Tony Kroch (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), Martin Durrell (University of Manchester), Karin Donhauser (Humboldt-Universität, Berlin), Gerhard Heyer (Universität Leipzig), Gerhard Lauer (Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen).
A special workshop will be dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the TITUS project.
Local organising committee: Jost Gippert, Anne Bohnenkamp-Renken, Alexander Mehler, Cecilia Poletto, Henning Reetz, Helmut Weiss, Ralf Gehrke.
International board of reviewers: Pietro Beltrami (Pisa), Karin Donhauser (Berlin), Martin Durrell (Manchester), Gerhard Heyer (Leipzig), Gerhard Lauer (Göttingen), Tony Kroch (Philadelphia), Anke Lüdeling (Berlin), Rosemarie Lühr (Jena), Marc van Oostendorp (Leiden), Andrea Rapp (Darmstadt), Manfred Sailer (Frankfurt).

Organisation
The conference will take place in the "Hörsaalgebäude" (lecture hall building) on the Bockenheim Campus (Gräfstraße at the corner of Mertonstraße).
There will be no conference fee. People wanting to attend the conference will be very welcome and are encouraged to register.
Registration is now open: http://www.digital-humanities-hessen.de/historical-corpora/registration
Tips for accomodation: There will be no fair in Frankfurt during the conference which means that hotel prices in and around Frankfurt will be normal. The hotels near the Bockenheim Campus are either rather small or rather expensive, so we cannot give a general recommendation for nearby accomodation. Furthermore, "Bockenheimer Warte", which is a 5 minute walk from the conference, can be reached very easily by public transport (lines U4, U6, U7, 16, 32, 36, 50). If you need special information or assistence, please ask Mr. Martin Petrus (mail address: petrus at em dot uni-frankfurt dot de).
