Linguistic annotation, the reunification of linguistics and philol-
ogy, and the reinvention of the Humanities for a global age
This paper addresses the critical role that treebanks in particular and linguistic
annotation in general must play if the Humanities are to advance the intellectual life of
society as a whole. During the twentieth century we saw a rise in specialization that
not only separated the practices of philology and linguistics among different researchers
but wholly separate (and sometimes conflicting) departments. The reunification of
linguistics with philology is an essential element in the evolution of the Humanities and
serves three critical functions.
First, linguistic annotation, both machine generated and human curated, is an
essential element both for large scale analysis of topics that cross more languages than
any research can study, much less master, and for the intensive analysis of individual
source and topics. Second, the associated changes in the scale of research demand that
we draw upon more cultural and linguistic expertise than the established universities
of North America and Europe can offer – we must enlist new collaborators in nations
such as Egypt, India, and China, whom boundaries of language and of culture have
often kept isolated. Third, even a global network of advanced scholars and library
professionals is not sufficient to analyze sources in thousands of languages produced
over thousands of years. We must develop student researchers and citizen scholars and
a new participatory of scholarship. The potential consequences of these three changes
are immense and each depends upon contributions by members of this workshop.
