Workshop/CfP - Lemmatisation and Morphological Analysis of Syriac Texts, 31 May 2017, UK

International workshop on lemmatisation and morphological analysis of Syriac texts

UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER

MAY 31, 2017

AHRC-funded project ‘The Syriac Galen Palimpsest: Galen's On Simple Drugs and the Recovery of Lost Texts through Sophisticated Imaging Techniques’ (University of Manchester) and ERCfunded project ‘Transmission of Classical Scientific and Philosophical Literature from Greek into Syriac and Arabic’ (Austrian Academy of Sciences) co-organize a workshop on automated methods of lemmatization, morphological analysis and other types of annotations and mark-ups of Syriac texts.

Whereas a pioneering conference on Syriac and the Digital Humanities (Rutgers University, 2015) clearly demonstrated the general scholarly demand for provision of electronic infrastructure for Syriac, the workshop is going to bring together scholars either developing electronic tools and corpus software for Syriac or using already available tools for their projects. We hope that the workshop will promote exchange of ideas and foster collaboration among scholars.

Invited Speakers:

George Kiraz (Beth Mardutho; Rutgers University)

Bastien Kindt (Université catholique de Louvain)

Wido van Peursen (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
