Leech\/Short 2007, Herrmann et al. 2015). Ziel der Konferenz ist es, internationalen ForscherInnen ein Forum zu bieten, um ihre Methoden, digitalen Werkzeuge und aktuellen Forschungsprojekte zur digitalen Stilistik zu pr\u00e4sentieren und zu diskutieren. Wir freuen uns besonders \u00fcber Beitr\u00e4ge mit einem Schwerpunkt auf den romanischen Sprachen, f\u00fcr die digitale Stilanalysen bisher noch nicht in gleichem Ma\u00dfe betrieben werden wie etwa in der germanistischen und anglistischen Forschung. Zugleich ist die Tagung durch ihren methodischen Fokus auf die digitale Stilistik auch f\u00fcr Einreichungen zu anderen Sprachen, f\u00fcr sprachvergleichende und theoretische Ans\u00e4tze offen.<\/p>\n<p>Wir bitten um Abstracts in englischer Sprache, die bis zum 31.

Several factors, such as authorship, genre and period do have an impact on style. Using digital methods, Digital Stylistics aims at an explicit modelling, understanding and analysis of the relationship between stylistic function and stylistic effects on the one hand and of language use on the other hand. For example, a qualitative stylistic analysis focuses on a deep reading and a detailed analysis of single texts. Regarding quantitative aspects, Digital Stylistics is concerned with a more extensive analysis of stylistic phenomena, in order to describe tendencies and possible changes over a longer period of time, within a national literature or language or cross linguistically.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas digital methods for stylistic analyses are already being applied in research on English (Burrows 2002; Biber and Conrad 2009; Underwood 2014) and German (Jannidis\/Lauer 2014; Salgaro et al. 2018), studies on Romance languages are fairly new, as it can been seen by the works on French (Pincemin 2009; Bornet\/Kaplan 2017; Sch\u00f6ch 2017), Italian (Ciotti 2017) or Spanish (Navarro-Colorado 2015; de la Rosa\/Su\u00e1rez 2016; Ri\u00dfler-Pipka 2016).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the main purpose of the conference \u201cDigital Stylistics in Romance Studies and beyond\u201d is to bring together international scholars working in the field of stylistic analysis, in order to present and discuss their methods, digital tools and current research projects.<\/p>\n<p>The following questions can be addressed during the conference:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In what respect is the term <em>style<\/em> in literary and linguistic research subject to change due to digital methods (lexical and grammatical features, Topic Modeling, reduction of dimensionality, Sentiment Analysis, networks)?<\/li>\n<li>Which new insights on style can be gained from Digital Stylistics?<\/li>\n<li>Which aims and approaches are pursued under the tag <em>Stylometry beyond authorship<\/em>?<\/li>\n<li>Regarding research on Digital Stylistics, how can the actual Status Quo in Romance studies be described?<\/li>\n<li>Which terminological traditions are applied for research on different languages (engl. <em>stylometry<\/em>, fr. <em>textom\u00e9trie<\/em>, dt. <em>computergest\u00fctzte Gattungsstilistik<\/em>) and how could they be put in relation or benefit from each other?<\/li>\n<li>Which challenges concerning software and data (i.e. availability of digital texts and tools, quality of digital tools etc.) has Digital Stylistics (in Romance languages) to face?<\/li>\n<li>Which typological features of different languages favour or prevent cross linguistic research?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Keynotes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prof. Douglas Biber (Applied Linguistics, Northern Arizona University)<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Glenn Roe (Digital Humanities, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstracts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please send abstracts in English for a presentation (20 min; followed by 10 mins of discussion) until the 31st of October 2018 to the following address: <a href=\"mailto:digitalstylistics@uni-wuerzburg.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digitalstylistics@uni-wuerzburg.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Abstracts should not exceed more than 500 words (excl. references).
