CIRCSE
<http://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse-home?rdeLocaleAttr=en>is a
pluri- and interdisciplinary research centre at the Università Cattolica
del Sacro Cuore <http://www.ucsc.it/>(Milan, Italy). The main research
interests of the centre are in the field of natural language processing
and information extraction from written language texts in electronic
form. Originally founded by padre Roberto Busa, pioneer of computational
linguistics on Latin textual material, the centre now hosts the Index
Thomisticus Treebank <http://itreebank.marginalia.it/>, and other
resources connected to it, and the morphological analyser and lemmatiser
LEMLAT <http://www.ilc.cnr.it/lemlat/lemlat/index.html>, together with
its brand-new spin-off, the Word Formation Latin (WFL)
<http://wfl.marginalia.it/> lexicon.
Word Formation Latin is a derivational morphology resource for Latin
that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020
research and innovation programme, under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie
grant agreement No 658332-WFL. The contents of WFL are lexical items
(lemmas) related on the basis of word formation rules (WFRs). For
example, lemmas amo (‘to love) and amator (‘lover’) are connected by a
relationship that describes a change from a verb to a noun through the
addition of a suffix that in itself bears semantic information: agent
and instrumental suffix -tor.
The seminar will give a brief tour of what goes on in Milan before
looking in more detail at how derivational morphology information can be
crucial for the enrichment of NLP resources for Latin, how the WFL
lexicon came to be, what it looks like, and how scholars and enthusiasts
of Latin can use it for their research.
All welcome and there will be drinks and discussion after the talk.
Please note that registration
<https://ucldhseminarlitta.eventbrite.co.uk> is required.
Speaker
Eleonora Litta <http://docenti.unicatt.it/ita/eleonora_maria_litta/> has
an MA in Medieval Studies from University College London, and a PhD in
Classics and Latin Philology at King's College London. Her interests lie
especially in historical linguistics, Classics and Germanic Philology,
with special emphasis on the development of digital language resources,
text analysis, corpus linguistics and computational linguistics. She
worked for seven years as a lead analyst at the Department of Digital
Humanities, King’s College London, before being awarded a Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Research fellowship to develop a new digital resource
for Latin, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, Italy.

ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF REED ONLINE
The Records of Early English Drama (REED) project is delighted to announce
the launch of *REED Online* (http://ereed.library.utoronto.ca), its new
open-access website. The site features REED's first digital edition of
dramatic records for the county of Staffordshire, encoded in TEI. Easily
searched with a number of useful filters, online records appear
conveniently on the same page as their translations, document descriptions,
and any glosses or related endnotes. GIS mapping based on the *Patrons and
Performances* map of historic county boundaries and main roads illuminates
significant details further. For students and those new to records
research, search tips, an introduction to the research process, and an
anatomy of a sample record provide a welcoming guide.
The *Staffordshire* records, edited by J.A.B. Somerset, are found in
scattered collections, but they yield fascinating glimpses of early social
and economic history through accounts of public performances, social
occasions, royal welcomes, folk customs, and professional entertainments. A
few examples highlight the richness of the collection, which includes two
royal visits – by Queen Elizabeth in 1576 and, more extensively, King James
I in 1615. The records of Tutbury, whose castle was a major administrative
centre for the household of John of Gaunt, show us from 1380 a flourishing
Minstrel Court while the accounts of Burton Manor, home to Thomas, Lord
Paget reveal an Elizabethan household filled with music, playing, and
revels. By contrast, Newcastle under Lyme sources record evidence of
implacable hatred of players, levying large fines upon persons who allowed
playing, and firing the town constable for turning a blind eye. For those
interested in tracking the itineraries of professional troupes across the
kingdom, new details of performance troupes visiting Stafford and Walsall
as well as the private residences of Beaudesert, Blithfield, and Burton
will be important.
*Staffordshire* is REED's pilot digital publication, with more collections
forthcoming on the same website to enable easy cross-collection searching.
As REED begins planning for the production of the next collection for the
county of Berkshire, the integration of *Patrons and Performances* data,
and the further development of *REED Online*, it welcomes all comments and
suggestions from users. Please send any feedback to REED’s project manager,
Carolyn Black, at ca.black(a)utoronto.ca.
REED gives special thanks to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada for a Connection grant that has made possible development
of our digital publishing framework for *REED Online*.

---- First International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo2017) ----
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
The First International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology (DeriMo2017) will be held in Milan (Italy) on 5 and 6 October 2017, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (http://http://derimo2017.marginalia.it/).
DeriMo2017 concludes the Word Formation Latin (WFL) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. The project is based at the Centro Interdisciplinare di Ricerche per la Computerizzazione dei Segni dell’Espressione (CIRCSE: http://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse-home?rdeLocaleAttr=en), at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy.
Submissions are invited for presentations featuring high quality and previously unpublished research on the topics described below. Contributions should focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational.
Proceedings will be published, open-access, in time for the workshop.
MOTIVATION AND AIMS
Until very recently, in the areas of Language Resources and Natural Language Processing (NLP), derivational morphology has always been neglected if compared to inflectional morphology. Yet the recent rise of lexical resources for derivational morphology have demonstrated that enhancing textual data with derivational morphology tagging can lead to strong outcomes.
First, it organises the lexicon at higher level than words, by building word formation based sets of lexical items sharing a common derivational ancestor.
Secondly, derivational morphology acts like a kind of interface between morphology and semantics, since core semantic properties are shared at different extent by words built by a common word formation process.
In the lively area of research aimed at building computational resources and tools for ancient languages, the WFL project fills a gap in the variety of those available for Latin, connecting lexical items on the basis of word formation rules. For a work-in-progress version of the resource, please visit http://wfl.marginalia.it.
This workshop wants to be both an opportunity for the presentation of WFL to the wider community, and a place where confrontation with other scholars engaged in the treatment of derivational morphology for different languages (either modern or ancient) can arise, and potentials for the cross-linguistic sharing of techniques and methods can be discussed.
TOPICS
The Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology aims at covering a wide range of topics.
In particular, the topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
- resources for derivational morphology
- connecting the derivational morphology level of annotation in language resources with other levels of linguistic analysis (e.g. semantic, syntactic…)
- (NLP) tools for the semi-automatic creation of resources for derivational morphology
- (NLP) tools including components of derivational morphology
- empirically based comparative and multilingual studies on derivational morphology
- empirically based diachronic studies on derivational morphology
- query tools for derivational morphology resources
- theoretical issues in derivational morphology.
INVITED SPEAKER: Pius ten Hacken (University of Innsbruck, Austria)
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadlines: always midnight, UTC ('Coordinated Universal Time'), ignoring DST ('Daylight Saving Time'):
- Deadline for paper submission: 18 June 2017
