Tools, Methods, and Solutions for the Exploration of Romanian Corpora

Summary: • Relate: a modern processing platform for Romanian language • Tools and Resources for Digitizing Historical Romanian Documents • Digitalization of Romanian Lexicography • Postdigital Creativity: modeling poetry translation with multiplexes, neural networks, and large language models • Challenges of Digitization and Digitalization for the Study of Writing: from archival survey to process analysis • Towards a Digital Corpus-Based Method for Assessing Language Level in EFL Student Writing: a case study on Romanian undergraduate literary analyses • A Computer-Assisted Analysis of Eminescu’s Doina • Mapping Eastern European Political Discourse and Inequalities through Public Monuments: a digital cartography crowdsourcing project • The Title of the Feuilleton Novel: a model of semantic annotation • Exercises in Literary Geography: where hajduks roam in the second half of the nineteenth century In a context marked by rapidly evolving global challenges that affect us all, the collaboration between academia, research, and business can launch innovative solutions, especially about topical issues that have emerged in the context of recent crises: pandemics, hybrid war, climate change, functional illiteracy, ageing/demographic decline. Because Romanian is often classified as a LUL (lesser-used language), the focus of this volume is on the heritage valorization, explicit or implicit, of all the approaches aimed at building resources such as digital editions, specialized corpora, archives, or platforms dedicated to analysis tools adapted to Romanian texts.
Capturing linguistic diversity and diachronic evolution, sampling as wide a variety as possible of Romanian texts (written and spoken) and enriching the repertoire of tools adapted to the granularity of Romanian language are the common denominator of the studies brought together here.
