Its chapters detail theoretical advances in analysing variation/change in the Celtic languages and computational tools necessary to process/analyse the data. Many contributions situate the Celtic material in the broader field of corpus-based diachronic linguistics. The application of computational methods to Celtic languages is in its infancy and this book is a first in medieval Celtic Studies, which has mainly concentrated on philological endeavours such as editorial and literary work. The Celtic languages represent a new frontier in the development of NLP tools because they pose special challenges, like complicated inflectional morphology with non-straightforward mappings between lemmata and attested forms, irregular orthography, and consonant mutations. With so much data available in non-electronic form and ongoing efforts to convert these data to computer-readable format, there is much room for the developing/testing of new tools. This books provides an overview of this process at a crucial time in the development of the field and aims to the data accessible to computational linguists with an interest in diachronic change. 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General$2bisacsh 610 $aCeltic Linguistics. 610 $aCorpus Linguistics. 610 $aLanguage Change. 610 $aLanguage Variation. 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General. 702 $aLash$b Elliott$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aQiu$b Fangzhe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStifter$b David$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aNational University Ireland Maynooth$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996365041703316 996 $aMorphosyntactic Variation in Medieval Celtic Languages$92088700 997 $aUNISA
