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.

Set around the events of the succession struggle of 1142 in
medieval Bohemia the main character, Witiko, the traditional
founder of the Rosenberg Family, searches for the Right, finds it
and his beloved, while never losing touch with the common folk. His
quest is amid the panoramic backdrop of national Bohemian politics
and history, with his fate paralleling that of the acknowledged
rightful duke, Wladislaw, who is also seeking the path of justice.
Witiko is considered one of the most significant German historical
novels of the Nineteenth Century.
