In linguistics, and mainly in corpus linguistics, this unprecedented text- and speech-data explosion has also left a profound mark ( Hiltunen et al., 2017), that in the words of Mark Liberman, can be thought of as “the modern equivalent of the 17th century invention of the telescope and microscope. In digital humanities, research with big data has already been transformed into a well-structured field of study with specific objects of interest and clearly defined challenges ( Kaplan, 2015).

559), thus bringing forward a magnitude of information that can transform entire fields (e.g., the data explosion and subsequent revolution that swept genomics Tripathi et al., 2016 Landhuis, 2017). In some fields of science, such as neurobiology, “big data is truly, epically big” ( Landhuis, 2017, p. Finally, the ten experimental challenges presented are relevant to languages from a broad typological spectrum, encompassing both spoken and sign, extant and nearly extinct languages.Īdvances in the fields of information and communications technology, data-mining and digitalization have led to a rapid increase in available data. Among other issues, we discuss population limits and degree of power, inter- and intraspeaker variation, absence of metalanguage and its implications for the process of eliciting acceptability judgments, and challenges that arise from absence of local funding, conflicting regulations in relation to privacy issues, and exporting large samples of data across countries. The identified challenges represent the domains of data collection and handling, participant recruitment, and experimental design. Our list of challenges involves static characteristics (e.g., absence of orthographic conventions and how it affects data collection), dynamic processes (e.g., speed of language change in small languages and how it affects longitudinal collection of big amounts of data), and interactive relations between non-dynamic features that are nevertheless subject to potentially rapid change (e.g., absence of standardized assessment tools or estimates for psycholinguistic variables). For each challenge, we (i) explain its nature and implications, (ii) offer one or more examples of how it is manifested in actual linguistic communities, and (iii) where possible, offer recommendations for addressing it effectively. Selected papers can be published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings.The aim of this work is to identify and analyze a set of challenges that are likely to be encountered when one embarks on fieldwork in linguistic communities that feature small, young, and/or non-standard languages with a goal to elicit big sets of rich data.

The registration form and abstract submission are available at. programme and have no higher degree than Ph.D. We invite all speakers who have completed an M.A./Mgr. linguistic propaganda and manipulation in the course of history the (un)stable world: extra-linguistic dynamism encoded in language what motivates and drives language changes? what is the future of gender and political correctness? do language changes provoke social changes and vice versa? can language changes reflect the mindset of a linguistic group? where is the online communication heading? what are the impacts of the covid crisis on language? what are the perspectives and functions of dialect continua? which changes resulted in a present-day state of language? what are the potential changes for the future?

The conference aimed at PhD candidates and PhD researches boasts 22 years’ tradition which started in 2000 at the Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences, Prague, and has been continued since 2001 at Palacký University in Olomouc. You are cordially invited to the annual International Meeting of Young Linguists called ''Potential of the Change''.
