This book showcases the state of the art in the corpus-based
linguistics of medieval Celtic languages. 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.
