The need for a quantitative approach in historical linguistics has recently been highlighted by Jenset and McGillivray (2017): in this view, the creation of annotated historical corpora is a fundamental aspect. As Lass (2004) has pointed out, a proper historical corpus should be characterized by maximal information preservation, no irreversible editorial intervention, and maximal flexibility. In order to accomplish Lass’s desiderata, the collection of metadata, which help situate the text in its context, and the preservation of philological annotation are of crucial importance for a correct interpretation of language data in historical texts (Curzan 2009, Vazquez and Marques Aguado 2012).<\/p>\n
The aim of this workshop is to reflect on the creation and annotation of historical corpora with a particular focus on the preservation of \u201ccontextual\u201d information. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
