INFORMATIONS
This workshop will take place on June 26, 2023 at ENS Paris-Saclay (Amphithéâtre Hodgkin).
This workshop corresponds to workshop 1 of the « 53rd Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages – LSRL 53 ». LSRL is one of the oldest and most prestigious international symposiums in modern Romance linguistics.
The proposed workshop addresses the question of the study of a language family in an interdisciplinary perspective: linguistics, sociology, economics, history… It welcomes presentations that make use of language data explored and exploited to answer research questions specific to these different disciplines as well as to questions at the interface of two or more disciplines. The Paris-Saclay ecosystem represents a environment where advanced technologies and SHS interact: we will highlight the potential of this digital processing based on the collaborations and tools available in the Paris-Saclay perimeter.
