Seminar: Lexical Semantic Change Detection in Medical Latin

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Lexical semantic change detection in Latin: a use-case on medical Latin Paola Marongiu (University of Neuchâtel) & Barbara McGillivray (KCL) Friday 14 July 2023, 5:00PM – 6:00PM Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House London This seminar will be held in the MakerSpace, Room 265, 2nd floor, Senate House. It will also be livestreamed at: https://youtu.be/wDAMEVHKBmA Lexical semantic change (LSC) is the linguistic phenomenon by which words change their meaning over time. Recently, there has been a growing interest in applying computational resources to investigate LSC. Among these resources, diachronic word embeddings have been applied with success to LSC research in various languages, among which Latin (Sprugnoli et al. 2020). In this seminar, I will report on the results of the evaluation of diachronic word embeddings to trace LSC in Latin, with a case-study on medical Latin. The lexicon of technical or specialised languages generally shows examples of LSC (Roelli 2021). The lexicon of medical Latin in particular is rich in polysemous words that have acquired more specialised meanings, developed from more basic or common ones through various types of semantic change (Langslow 2000; Roelli 2021). Examples are forceps (or forfex) from ‘tongs’ to ‘surgical pincers’, mola from ‘mill-stone’ to ‘molar tooth’, causa from ‘cause (of a disease)’ to ‘disease’ (Langslow, 2000: 155;165;182). Moreover, Latin medical texts cover a diachronic span going from the 1st century BCE (Celsus’ De medicina) to the 19th century CE (von Bene’s Elementa medicinae practicae), which allows for a diachronic study of semantic changes on technical terms. After a short introduction on the application of diachronic word embeddings to LSC detection, I will present the results of this case-study on medical Latin. In particular, I will elaborate on the strategies implemented for the evaluation of the word embeddings, based on previous work on Latin (Sprugnoli et al. 2020). This will comprise i) the presentation of the gold standard dataset built for the evaluation by combining lexical and lexicographic resources for Latin; ii) a discussion on the issues of applying diachronic word embeddings to LSC detection in Latin, specifically on medical Latin lexicon, and possible ways for improvement.

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Call for applications International Seminar "Approaching Byzantium Through Seals: A Digital Exhibition" University of Cologne The Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies of the University of Cologne invites applications for the International Seminar “Approaching Byzantium through seals: a digital exhibition”, organised in the framework of the project “DiBS – Creating a Sustainable Digital Infrastructure for Research-Based Teaching in Byzantine Studies”, funded by the Volkswagen Foundation. Byzantine seals have emerged lately as a valuable resource for the study of Byzantium. This course aims to bring together students from various parts of the world and provide them with the skills to analyse and use seals as a source for understanding Byzantine society and culture, without requiring an extensive background in sigillography. At the same time, the students will contribute to the creation of a digital scholarly exhibition, which will revolve around some themes related to the topic of the Seminar. Structure: Two introductory sessions (17.11.2023 and 24.11.2023) after the end of which students will be handed out assignments with the aim of analysing seals under the prism of specific questions and topics, such as identity, relation between text and image, expressions of piety, and individual representation. At the end of the semester there will be a week-long workshop (19.02.–23.02.2024) with presentations and discussion of the commentary and the texts prepared by the students. Aims: The students will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of an online exhibition that is intended to serve as reference to the wider scholarly community and public, by introducing seals as a crucial source for the society and culture of Byzantium. The exhibition will consist of texts on topics related to the history and culture of Byzantium, focused on a set number of seals selected out for this purpose. These texts will be produced by the students and the instructor during the course. Application: Please fill in the application form and the motivation statement (no longer than 500 words) describing the academic achievements, the scholarly interests, and the reasons for applying to this course.

CFP: Premodern Digital Ecologies
by Aylin Malcolm 17 Jun '23

17 Jun '23

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear colleagues, I'm happy to announce the call for papers for a special issue of Digital Philology on "Premodern Digital Ecologies." Abstracts are due December 1, 2023, and we're happy to discuss potential topics in the meantime. Please see below for more information. Call for Papers: Premodern Digital Ecologies (Special Issue of Digital Philology) Guest Edited by Aylin Malcolm and Andrew Richmond The intersection of the digital and environmental humanities speaks to our current moment: we live in a world in flux, experiencing a changing climate we seek to explain by digital models. As we use new technology to interact with and understand the “natural” world, scholars and activists also use digital platforms to communicate about ecological issues with new and diverse audiences. Medieval studies has long been at the forefront of the digital humanities, while ecocriticism and environmental history have significantly advanced our understanding of how people in the Middle Ages conceived of the nonhuman world. Recently, these threads have come together in adapting modern digital tools for the study of premodern experiences of local and evolving environments, leading to a productive proliferation of energetic and insightful approaches to archival and archaeological materials. Digital investigations of medieval environments in turn invite inquiry into the role that affect plays in shaping contemporary conceptions of premodern places and times. This special issue highlights the exciting spectrum of critical work in premodern digital ecologies, and examines how modern tools and approaches can help us to model and explore environments from across the medieval world. What changes about our experiences of medieval materials and ecosystems when we interact with them through a digital medium, or as virtual objects? How can digital tools make academic study of medieval environments accessible to a range of audiences, or enable work in the public humanities? How do we avoid imposing modern identities onto premodern people and environments when studying or modeling them through a digital lens? What do digital models reveal about the relationship between local, regional, and global environments in medieval conceptions of the world? How do we draw critical connections between diverse digital approaches? How can we build on the lessons of premodern digital ecology to understand our contemporary ecological moment? And how do we account for the inherent environmental costs of digital methods? Articles might consider topics such as: digital modeling or exhibitions of medieval landscapes; the implications of biocodicological analyses of medieval manuscripts and materials; the environmental impact of digital tools; pedagogical applications of these technologies in courses dealing with medieval environments; the potential for digital tools to enable an interconnected view of the global Middle Ages; and the need for both digital and ecological fields to reckon with their participation in systems of oppression while engaging with justice for marginalized and racialized peoples. Please send abstracts of approximately 300 words to Andrew (richmonda1(a)southernct.edu<mailto:richmonda1@southernct.edu>) and Aylin (amalco08(a)uoguelph.ca<mailto:amalco08@uoguelph.ca>) by December 1, 2023. Acceptance notices for abstracts will be issued by the end of December 2023 and full drafts will be due in September 2024. All articles will be peer reviewed; acceptance of an abstract does not guarantee publication.

CfP: Workshop "Expressing and Performing Emotions" (Voces 2023. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words)
by Section de Lexicographie 26 May '23

26 May '23

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear list members, Please find below a call for papers that might be of interest to some of you. (French version below) On behalf of the organizing committee, Renaud Alexandre Section de Lexicographie et de Sémantique (Comité Du Cange) Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS) ================================== Voces 2023. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words: Expressing and Performing Emotions Workshop – 5th October 2023 — Paris https://glossaria.eu/voces_2023/ The conference cycle Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words, co-organised by the IRHT (CNRS) and Institute of Polish Language (PAN) aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. The conference aims to bring together historians, linguists, philosophers and philologists from various theoretical background (historical semantics, Begriffsgeschichte, cognitive semantics, histoire des mentalités etc.) and who use various methodology (corpus studies, lexical analysis, etc.). Papers dealing with medieval key words or concepts in a broad context of social, political and religious life are particularly encouraged. Voces 2023. Expressing and Performing Emotions In recent years, medieval emotions have become the subject of intense research (Boquet and Nagy 2015). A number of studies showed that they were not the domain of a purely individual experience, but instead they were deeply influenced by the emotive styles, norms and conventions that were adopted in different communities (Rosenwein 2006). Attitudes towards the expression of emotions in the social sphere should also be seen in their historical dynamics, as they are a reflection of the constantly evolving relationship between individuals, society and its institutions (Nagy 2000). Although voices calling for a more systematic analysis have been heard for years, we are still far from having a comprehensive account of how emotions were linguistically expressed and conceptualised in the Middle Ages (Rosenwein 2008). This may come as a surprise, given that current linguistics offers both a rich theoretical reflection and a rigorous descriptive framework, as well as a wealth of in-depth studies of terms and concepts related to emotions.

Le Moyen Âge latin à travers ses mots-clés, lancé par l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS) et l’Institut de la Langue Polonaise (PAN), se propose d’examiner attentivement les mots qui ont joué un rôle important dans l’Europe latine médiévale. Tous les deux ans, nous nous concentrerons sur un concept central pour le Moyen Âge latin et ses expressions linguistiques. La conférence vise à rassembler des historiens, des linguistes, des philosophes et des philologues de divers horizons théoriques (sémantique historique, Begriffsgeschichte, sémantique cognitive, histoire des mentalités, etc.), et qui utilisent des méthodes variées (étude de corpus, analyse lexicale, etc.). Sont particulièrement encouragées les contributions qui traitent de mots ou de concepts clés du Moyen Âge dans un contexte assez large de la vie sociale, politique et religieuse. Voces 2023. Émotions et représentations Ces dernières années, les émotions médiévales ont fait l’objet d’intenses recherches (Boquet et Nagy 2015). Un certain nombre d’études ont montré qu’elles ne relevaient pas seulement d’une expérience individuelle, mais qu’elles étaient profondément influencées par les styles, les normes et les conventions des différentes communautés (Rosenwein 2006). Les réactions suscitées par l’expression publique des émotions doivent également être considérées dans leur dynamique historique, car elles sont le reflet de l’évolution constante de la relation entre les individus, la société et ses institutions (Nagy 2000). Si des voix s’élèvent depuis longtemps pour réclamer une analyse plus systématique, nous sommes encore loin de disposer d’un état des lieux exhaustif de la manière dont les émotions étaient exprimées et conceptualisées au Moyen Âge (Rosenwein 2008). Cela peut surprendre, quand la linguistique actuelle dispose à la fois d’une riche réflexion théorique et d’un cadre descriptif rigoureux, ainsi que d’une multitude d’études approfondies sur les termes et les concepts liés aux émotions.

Thèmes suggérés Nous invitons les auteurs à présenter des communications portant à la fois sur des mots ou des concepts isolés, et sur des champs lexicaux ou des domaines conceptuels entiers. Les contributions interdisciplinaires, combinant l’analyse linguistique et historique, sociologique, anthropologique, ou offrant une perspective interculturelle et interlinguistique, sont particulièrement appréciées. * Exprimer et parler des émotions au Moyen Âge : affects privés ou publics ; authenticité et convention ; théorie des émotions * Les mots de l’émotion : termes latins vs. vernaculaires ; traduire les émotions bibliques ; affect et métaphore ; l’universalité des émotions médiévales ; les expressions déterminées par la culture * Théories et méthodes (comment étudier les émotions médiévales ?) : le « tournant émotionnel » dans les études médiévales ; la linguistique cognitive et les émotions médiévales ; vocabulaire latin et catégories de la pensée médiévale (un simple lien ?) ; emprunts lexicaux et changements sémantiques (nouveaux mots, nouveaux mondes ?) ; le latin médiéval et les individus (cognition, expérience, émotions) ; savoir scientifique vs. populaire Modalités de soumission Deux types de contributions sont proposés : * les communications longues (20 min. + 10 min. de discussion) ne se limitent pas à un seul texte ou un seul auteur, et fournissent un contexte assez large (historique, social, culturel) pour la discussion, ou posent des questions théoriques importantes (changement historique, problèmes méthodologiques) ; * les communications courtes (10 min. + 5 min. de discussion), plus limitées dans leur portée, mettent en avant les liens entre le vocabulaire ou la conceptualisation et la réalité socioculturelle du Moyen Âge. Soumettre une proposition Langues de la conférence : allemand, anglais, castillan, français, italien. Les soumissions seront déposées jusqu’au 20/06/2023 à minuit sur : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voces2023 * communications longues : max. 500 mots (hors références) * communications courtes : max. 250 mots (hors références) Les soumissions doivent présenter clairement la problématique, discuter brièvement les recherches existantes et expliquer en quoi l’analyse du terme ou du champ proposé est importante pour la compréhension des pratiques sociales médiévales. Organisation : Renaud Alexandre (IRHT-CNRS), Bruno Bon (IRHT-CNRS), Anita Guerreau-Jalabert (IRHT-CNRS), Sébastien Hamel (IRHT-CNRS), Krzysztof Nowak (IJP-PAN), Nathalie Picque (IRHT-CNRS).
